Shipping is only free on some items, it will let you know on the product page. Shipping for that case is $53.71 for me, ouch.

Any thoughts on this case? antex 1200 on sale

Possibly looking for a new case, and 85 bucks off seems great. Plus, newegg is free shipping, right?

Honestly I'm highly considering a move to the 1200 just cause of the simple fact of better work space, cable managment, airflow + if you pay $49 us + shipping Antec sells a 200 mm rad that mounts into the top of it under the 200 mm fan for doing a water cooling setup in it.
Yeah there definatly pricey but thats the cheapest I've seen them so far since they've launched._______________Phenom II X6 1090T @ 4 Ghz/2.4 Ghz NB-Cpu | Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H | Mushkin Blackline "Frostbite" DDR3 1600 16 gigs

Last September, Dell had the Antec 1200 case for just $130 and free shipping. That was the best deal I've even seen on this case and I bought one of course.
I absolutely LOVE my 1200. It's very roomy inside, you can route all your cabled behind the mobo tray, you can install nearly 10 hard drives, etc. The airflow is simply exceptional.
Honestly, even if you give me $400 right now to buy a "premium" Silverstone or Lian-Li case, I wouldn't. The Antec 1200 is the best case I've owned ever._______________

You could always price match with NCIX... shipping is much more reasonable at $28.98. But they might have a free shipping gift card tonight, so it's best to wait for that.

The 1200 is good at that sale price.
At regular price, it's hitting Lian Li territory and why would you pick a steel case over an aluminum one? Reply With Quote

This dude has a set of wicked cable management videos on Youtube using that case that I came across yesterday:

Thats easy steel will dampen the internal noise levels of a tower vs alumium. Originally Posted by flyz

May 27th, 2009 02:33 PM #12Why not? Sure, steel cases weigh much more but who cares? It sits on your floor or desktop usually and you have to move it like once per year. Weight is of no concern. Originally Posted by flyz

Aluminum's better heat dissipation is only relevant when direct contact happens like in an external HD enclosure._______________

Price is now down to $164.99 with coupon CEMCLSNV22 (from the previous $184.99 when OP was posted)
Still more expensive than ncix with pricematch lol._______________

I prefer aluminum because it's much easier to cut when modding. I've dremelled 1mm thick steel and never again. All a personal preference... Originally Posted by Oversized Rooster
