Completed SystemAll in all it took us about 50 minutes to install our test system into the Antec 1200 which included some time tidying up the cables.
Installing the hard drive in the system was a very frustrating process that took much longer than with most cases we review. First we were required to remove the hard drive caddy from the case which required the removal of no fewer than eight screws.
Then we could insert a hard drive into the caddy, screw it in using four screws and then replace the caddy, refastening eight screws. Never before have we had to do so much screwing about to install a hard drive. A system like Corsair implement with the 650D would be much simpler as it takes literally seconds to install a drive.
Antec haven’t made any provision for installing a power supply into the system toollessly. So we are required to secure it using four screws through the back of the case. We were able to manage the cables quite tidily although turning the power supply over so the fan pointed upwards did make things a little more messy.
Before installing the motherboard we were required to install some additional standoffs as only six out of the total nine were preinstalled. Then we could screw down the motherboard using the provided screws.
Antec also haven’t made any attempt at a tool-less expansion card securing devices. They haven’t even included thumbscrews something we see on much less expensive cases. So we were forced to secure our AMD Radeon HD 6790 graphics card with the standard provided screws.
