On the outside...

     The first thing that caught my eye was the cool mods. Similar to the Nine Hundred, the Twelve Hundred has a very nice window and fan mod on the left side of the case.

     It's obvious that Antec was concentrating on creating an extremely well cooled case. This baby has fans everywhere! Nearly all of the fans are included in the Twelve Hundred, but the one fan I would like to have and is almost a necessity isn't included. Sadly Antec did not include the side cover fan. Any gamer will tell you that this is a very important fan that helps keep graphics cards cool. Unfortunately you'll have to purchase one more 120mm cooling fan for the side cover fan mod. On the bright side, at least the fan mod is there...

     Moving to the right side, like most cases the Twelve Hundred has a plain side cover. Regardless, the jet black color looks great as is.

     Next we move to the top where we find one of the best features the Twelve Hundred has to offer. In the top is a "blow hole" mod housing a massive 200mm, blue LED, silent cooling fan. The 200mm cooling fan is controlled by 2 selector switches housed in the back of the case. One is a 3-speed selector switch and the other is to turn the fan LEDs off and on. Very nice...
