THE NINETEEN HUNDRED EXTERIOR
With measurements of 696mm in height, 555mm in depth and 223.6mm in width the Nineteen Hundred is nothing short of massive. The design of the case is quite simple yet thanks to the side window, many corners and front painted dual layer mesh it looks quite unique.
The left side panel is quite large but for some reason (perhaps lower noise levels) it doesn’t extend over the drive area.
Right beneath both panels we see two smaller panels that fall down (much like the ones we saw with the 900D).
The dual layer mesh provides air to the three 120mm intake fans placed beneath the fascia (we will talk about them later on).
Above the three 5.25" bays we see the front I/O which consists by the power and reset buttons, two USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.0 ports and the standard microphone and headphones plugs.
A large Antec logo is placed on the lower end.
Part of the top is perforated to allow air to exit from the two 120mm exhaust fans placed beneath it (you can remove the top cover after removing two thumbscrews at the rear).
The rear comes with an 120mm exhaust fan, a 3-way fan controller for the top and rear fans (the fans are connected to it and in turn it gets powered by a molex power connector), 9 expansion slots with red covers, two rubber grommets and two PSU bays.
Beneath the bottom PSU bay we see a removable dust-filter.
Antec has used rubber coated thumbscrews to secure both side panels in place.
