Outside Continued...

     Antec has even put a lot of thought into the back side of the Twelve Hundred. Although you rarely see the back side of a computer case, Antec put forth the extra effort to black out the entire back side of the case. Here you will also see that the power supply mounts in the bottom of the case, just like my favorite Antec case, the P180. As a note, be sure to choose a black power supply to match your cool new case.

     In the back side of the case you will find 2 rubber grommets for routing hoses for water cooling. Speaking of water cooling, Antec even included a water cooling platform that can be mounted in any of the drive bays for holding water pumps or water tanks.

     At the top of the back side of the Twelve Hundred you will see the selector switches for the 200mm blow hole and for the two 120mm cooling fans in the back. I really like this addition over the internal selector switches found on earlier Antec cases.

     The Twelve Hundred's front grill gives the case a tough rugged look, not to mention it's very ventilated. The bottom 9 bays are for hard drives. There are actually 3 bays that hold 3 drives each. Each bay has a 120mm cooling fan controlled by a rheostat style fan speed adjuster. At the top of the case is three 5.25" drive bays for optical drives and other accessories.
