Antec 1900 - Thoughts??

Gee cant tell well they got their design ideas from (http://enermaxusa.com/case_eca3253.php)

Either way, it is still an Antec so don't expect it to be anything but cheap quality.

I posted this on another forum

I honestly don't like it, as strange as that sounds seeing as I have a 900D.

I think it is trying to be the Antec version of the 900D, just without all the good points.


Don't get me wrong there is one thing I do like and that is the front panel minus the Antec imprint and Red stripe.


My thoughts on what could be changed.

The hard drive cages in the main section of the case should be able to be completely removed, and also the 5.25" bays should be able to be taken out if required as well.

I think the mid plate could be all mesh to allow for things like pump's and reservoirs to be mounted to it.

It's not something I would buy.

I just wanted to hear peoples thought on it.

Honestly Antec cases feel better built to me than most for the price (LAN boy ,the 900 and the 1200 are crap though).

I've owned a number of Antec cases. The quality is fine, however they need to sack their design team, as they are just so behind the curve with everything. They shouldn't be copying designs, they should be innovating like Silverstone...

Looks like a bad attempt to copy the 900D internals - already looks cheap IMHO

It looks like a £50 budget case, but bigger...

I like the front of it, Reminds me of Tron

Typical Antec. A big case but bad space management. Why is there still that many static drive bays in this day and age.

Totally agree. Don't understand why there are so many drive options (full stop). With 4TB drives accesible why do you need so many drive bays, unless you're building a server - in which case their are better options out there... Shove the drives behind the motherboard tray and if you must stick a space for a slot loading dvd/br behind there as well.

The industry has pretty much moved away from 3.5 bays, it now needs to move away from 5.25 bays as well. imho Silverstone are best innovators atm. Corsair products are quality but cautious. Its been a long time since a case has really wow'd me - and I love cases...

Looks decent to me from a quick scrolling down look. But not a fan of any mesh on casing. My first ever rig I built when I was like 14 was a thermaltake armor...yeah, it doesn't keep dust out.

 

[Dicehunter]

Looks like it's also coming out in black with green accents

 

[barnsley]

To be honest I think it looks quite nice... But then again I was going to get the enermax case it so closely resembles so that might be why I like it.

Looks nice in green and black actually.
