14 DAY TRIAL // After making its debut at the end of November in North America, Antec’s impressive Eleven Hundred chassis has now also arrived in Europe where is targeting the same enthusiast crowd as in the US.
When it designed the Eleven Hundred, Antec wanted it to provide enough room to fit even some of the most powerful systems out there so it made the case large enough to accommodate an XL-ATX sized motherboards and 4-way GPU configurations.
But since such advanced hardware also requires some impressive cooling, the case was also fitted with default 200 mm top and 120 mm rear fans as well as with additional mounts for up to seven more fans.
These will be used to blow air over the GPUs and hard drives installed, while one of the extra 120mm intake fans can be placed behind the motherboard tray to cool the back of the CPU socket.
The airflow inside the case can also be optimized by routing cables through the grommet-lined holes placed along the motherboard.
Other features include tool-less 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays installation, removable PSU intake and front air filters, front panel USB 3.0 ports, as well as support for up to seven 3.5-inch storage devices and two 2.5-inch drive bays.
"The Eleven Hundred offers a set of features that will appeal to gamers and mainstream users alike at a very reasonable price point," said Mafalda Cogliani, Global Marketing Director at Antec.
"The Gaming Series has always defined our advancement in the industry, and this case will continue that momentum."
The Eleven Hundred reaches store shelves and online retail outlets in the UK, such as Scan, Ebuyer, Overclockers and KustomPCs, in early December with a MSRP of £109.99, while the rest of Europe will get it for €129.
