The only thing I don't like about it is the case.
Antec 900/1200 are so overrated.
Otherwise, epic build.

What are you disliking about this case?

It's sooooo overrated. EVERYONE has one. They're just too damn popular for me to like.

not to mention that they dont offer anything out of the ordinary. No innovations, no impressive engineering aspects, just plain beyond plain. If youre not really serious into building computers its great. It doesnt have any fancy bells and whistles and it gets the job done.

The thing that we hate about it is that people worship the thing because it gets the job done. Its like worshipping a minvan as the fastest car around because you havnt ridden in any other cars.

Im not saying the antec 900/1200 is a bad case by any stretch, just saying that it is not the best for that price range, nor is it anywhere close to high-end. And if you believe it is, you need to pick yourself up a Cosmos S, HAF, or any lian li or thermaltake case and then make some comparisons.

@Blue Stealth & Phobus.
I might be numb but I really don't understand your points.
I just can't tell anything negative about this case.
The air flow is amazing, I have plenty of space. The case is solid. There is no fancy goodies.

I'm not and advanced PC builder, just an enthusiast one. Maybe I'm wrong but I was thinking that what I said above was THE things to consider when building a pc.
This is why I picked up this case.
Anyway, i'm not looking to get another case. I'd just like to have some real facts why this case would be overrated.

just a few of the 900's cons that come to mind:

-horrible dust buildup
-horrible cable management (worst I have ever seen in a case)
-lack of enough fan mounts and those that exist are placed poorly.

with that being said, thats already enough to turn me away if I was in the market to buy a case.

There are more cons, but they are either minor or opinion-based. You might also see people claim that there is great airflow in the antec 900. This I find hard to believe because of the following cons I have listed and the fact that its a mid-tower.

We were talking about 1200 anyway I see your points.

I just saw phobus mention both, but the only con that doesnt apply to the 1200 is the dust problem because it comes with decent dust screens. The cable management is still extremely poor and the fan positioning could be a lot better.

Nice rig.
