The Package
The Antec 1200 arrives in a fairly large cardboard box with an eye catching image on the front of the twelve hundred looking fairly sinister.
The back of the box has three images of the Antec: front, back and side. Beneath the images are the specifications bullet pointed in three different languages: English, French and German.
The sides of the box have more features and info about the Twelve Hundred – mostly of which has been repeated in other areas on the box.
This box is very informative which is great for the buyer as it has everything which you’d need to know before making a purchase.
Inside the box, the case is protected fairly well with thick pieces of Styrofoam and is wrapped in a polythene bag. This protects it from any knocks and bumps during the rough shipping process. It’s nice to see Antec using Styrofoam, as polystyrene – which use to be used – is the most annoying packaging material as it often makes a lot of mess.
Inside the box, you’ll find:
- The Antec Twelve Hundred (1200)
- A box full of accessories
- Manual and Warrantee leaflet
This is what you’d normally expect to have been included with a case like this.
However, the box of accessories is a little larger than other ones I’ve had with cases in the past. This indicates that there are possibly more accessories.
Opening the accessories box up you’ll find:
- A bag full of an assortment of screws
- 4 cable tidy’s
- A 3 ½” bay converter and bracket
With some Antec cases they don’t include a bay converter, but as this case has no visible 3 ½“drives, it makes sense why they’ve included one.
