Internal appearance – motherboard area

On the floor inside the rear of the Antec 1200 are four rubber mounts that help the PSU to sit tightly, while absorbing some of the vibration. PSU size is ATX standard but a surprising addition is the ability to fit a redundant PSU configuration in its place.
Alongside the seven expansion slots at the rear are two holes for water cooling pipes, each carrying a rubber grommet. Blanking plates for the expansion slots are secured with standard screws. A nice touch is that the Antec 1200 has the majority of its motherboard mounts fitted and ready. That's very handy.
With the Antec 1200 placed on its side, you can see just how big that 200mm fan is up top. As all the pre-fitted fans are made of black plastic, the blue LEDs give off a very focussed glow - much nicer than the tacky see-through fans we've seen of late.
