Nice find, I've worked with this case twice and both times I thoroughly enjoyed the build.

Yea, I kind of figured it was a good case when I noticed that even with over three thousand reviews on newegg, it STILL has a perfect rating!

Also, the savings are actually around a $100, not $80, since shipping is usually around fifteen to twenty dollars.

This is such a great deal! :bunny:

Thanks for the +rep btw :)

If I needed another case, this is what I'd get. I have its bigger brother (which I saved a similar amount on, it was $131.99 with free shipping) and there's almost nothing I'd trade it for. The same thing, a few inches shorter would be a can of black Krylon away from Quite Good.

Nice find.

You have the Antec Twelve Hundred? That case is awesome! If the price wasn't so high, I would definitely consider it. But as with all ultra premium cases, they tend to cost $200+, which is generally a deal breaker for me. lol

Although I might consider the Nzxt Adamas, I'm a real sucker for that super thick aluminum!

It's a bit of a pain when it comes to cable management (though I've got it fairly well-tamed) but aside from that it's great - friggin' solid, albeit fairly heavy, and roomier than I need it to be. My rig would do fine in a 900, and I know it, but I don't really care - this isn't a case, it's an investment.

For the time being, it's completely stock, since there's really nothing else I'd want it to do - been thinking of modding the LED fans so I can turn the lights off, but that's not really a big deal. Well, there's a piece of electrical tape around the front part of the top-fan mesh so it doesn't fill with screws, but that's it. (That fan, if you're concerned, reduces the 1200's BGA (http://www.dansdata.com/q500.htm#BGA) value somewhat, but you can easily sit on the front half of the top panel if need be.)

(EDIT: I realized that a dozen thumbscrews are really a necessary addition, since it inexplicably has standard screws for the expansion cards and drives, though not for the drive cages.)

If you can get it under $150 with free shipping, go for it. I'd hate to see anyone here pay to ship 38 pounds of empty case, though...

It's out of stock now.
