Antec Launches Twelve Hundred PC Case

The stylish Twelve Hundred Enclosure stands out with truly impressive
cooling and capacity

Fremont, CA - April 28, 2008 - Antec, Inc., the leading global brand of
high-performance computer components for the PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself
markets, has launched the Twelve Hundred PC enclosure, the next evolution of
its best-selling Nine Hundred case. With an advanced cooling system, a
spacious design and other convenient features, the Twelve Hundred is an
excellent choice for gamers and other high-performance PC builders.

The Twelve Hundred features an exceptionally robust cooling system, designed
to accommodate even the most demanding gaming PCs. This system is composed
of a top 200mm TriCool fan, two rear 120mm TriCool fans and three front
120mm fans. All TriCool fans come with 3-speed control, enabling users to
optimize their balance of cooling and quiet. Two additional 120mm fan mounts
give builders the option to provide cooling to the graphics cards and the
CPU. The Twelve Hundred also comes with a water cooling platform that can be
used to position a reservoir or a pump. A perforated front panel and a
washable air filter help to take in air more efficiently and reduce dust
build up. The case also includes an advanced cable management system that
allows cables to be tucked out of the way for unrestricted airflow.

The Twelve Hundred is spacious and versatile, with twelve drive bays and
seven expansion slots. This provides builders with room for all their
high-performance components including dual full-length graphics cards, while
a clear side-panel allows users to show off their cutting-edge systems. All
fans come with internal blue LED illumination; the light on the top fan can
be turned on and off by an easily accessed switch. A convenient top
accessory tray gives builders a place to store their favorite gadgets such
as media players or digital cameras, while two front-mounted USB ports and
eSATA as well as HD audio ports provide convenient access.

"The Nine Hundred is one of our most popular cases, and the Twelve Hundred
builds on its design with even more cooling and capacity," said Scott
Richards, senior vice president for Antec. "On top of that, we've also added
some highly demanded features such as input air filtering, variable speed
fans and more. With the Twelve Hundred, we deliver an outstanding case not
only for Nine Hundred fans planning an upgrade, but for all gamers and PC
builders looking for the best and biggest capacities."

The Twelve Hundred is available now through major retailers, e-tailers, and
distributors. The case will retail for approximately $209.95 and is backed
by Antec's Quality 3-Year Warranty. For additional product information and

I was hoping the price would be more around the 150 mark, I still want one.
