Antec GX1200 Mid-Tower Gaming Chassis Review

Complete System

Getting a system installed in the GX1200 was nice and easy, as there’s a huge amount of room to work with on the interior. The removal of the 3.5″ drive bays from the front means you’ve got a huge amount of space for large graphics cards, as well as front-mounted radiators.

The PSU shroud does a great job of keeping things looking neat and tidy too, hiding the PSU and a huge amount of cable mess, as well as the 3.5″ HDDs that can safely be tucked out of sight.

There’s certainly more than enough room for a multi-GPU configuration, although a small pass-through cut-out for side mounting PSU cables would have been a nice bonus.

The main 2.5″ drive mounts are really cooling, giving you a great way to show off your SSD and giving your build a little bit of aesthetic flair.

There’s loads of room for a good size CPU cooler, and still have room to spare in the top and rear for radiators. I would have liked a 120mm fan pre-installed in the back, but if you’re fitting a 120mm AIO cooler, this isn’t a problem.

All panels back in place, the tint on the side panel doesn’t give much away, just letting enough light through to show off any highlights within the chassis.

Power up the lighting and the chassis fills with a soft glow from the two front mounted fans. At the same time, a separate LED strip gives more colour from the bottom edge of the front panel.

The lighting looks really cool and isn’t too “in your face” either. There’s a small button on the front I/O that allows you to cycle through various colours and effects, as well as turn the lights off. Let’s give it a few clicks and take a look at what is on offer.
