    Is the ANTEC TWELVE HUNDRED really Full Tower or Mid Tower ATX?

    For my new upcoming system I wanted to ensure to get a large enough case, for too long have I been plagged with a Mid-Tower ATX case where everything almost fits and temperatures reach the boiling point.

    Therefore I did some quick research and found a case that I thougth fit my needs perfectly (panel on top, full tower, no front door I need to open)...
     ANTEC TWELVE HUNDRED Ultimate Gaming Case

    From what I can see (on Newegg for example) this case seems amazing, Full ATX Tower with 5x 120mm & 1x 200mm fans, ample room for my system and still a lot of free space for good ventilation - I was sold...
    But this morning I was looking for good prices and noticed some stores had this case listed as a MID-TOWER ATX... and that had me worried...

    So - I wanted to ask the experts - which is it? Full- or Mid- ?
    And of course - while I am at it - what does the general population think of this computer case?

    Anyone actually own one or know for sure? Or have something else they would recommend (for the $172 CDN cost)...
    Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I've seen it listed as both as well. I would call it a full tower. The size and specs meet or exceed other full tower cases. Take a look at the pics here at  www.frozencpu.com. They are a bit better than other sites and should give you an idea if it meets your needs. BTW, they list it as Full tower. I trust this site and have bought from them. I hope this helps.

     

    EDIT: BTW. This case is modded with a full side window, so don't freak over the price. they do have the standard version as well. Not sure about price compared to Newegg though.

    I used to carry a hammer in my computer tool kit. Just for fixing the packard Bells though.......

    That really tricks it out... impressive looking!

    a cpu, a board, some ram, a gfx card, an opty, a hdd and a psu... all in a case

    Indeed. These guys are a pricier than Newegg, but they have a selection that can't be beat and know what they are doing. Their custom mod stuff is top notch.

    It should be a full tower. Either way, if it meets you needs for space, then it doesn't really matter what other sites list it as. Since it has space for all that stuff, it definitely isn't going to be a mid-tower case.

     

    By the way, Amazon has it for 189.99 with free shipping.

     

    If you think you can’t do something, you’ll never be able to do it. No matter how easy it is.
