Space isn't in short supply thanks to the Eleven Hundred's roomy interior. As we mentioned earlier, this case is a mid-tower by design but can seem more like a full-tower by nature.
The black colour scheme will help to create an attractive system that can be viewed through the side panel window.
6x 3.5″ HDDs and only 2x 2.5″ SSDs can be installed in the Eleven Hundred's drive bay. A pair of 120mm fans can be mounted on both sides of the bay to provide ample cooling for even the most enthusiastic storage fanatic.
Tool-less clips secure up to 3x 5.25″ devices. Standard screws can also be used for extra security.
An interesting method which utilises a single screw to mount 2.5″ drives.
XL-ATX support is indicated by the presence of nine PCI slots. Antec purposely gave the 120mm fan mount plenty of surrounding clearance so that it could be used with their Kuhler H2O All-In-One liquid cooling units.
Making the power supply dust filter removable from the side is an innovative and convenient feature.
Up to 4x 3-pin fans can be powered by the internal hub. If you want to install one of Antec's Kuhler H2O CPU coolers, you will have to re-orientate the hub by following this guide.
The 200mm roof fan is mounted in a separate channel which helps maintain effective clearance above the motherboard.
4 rubber grommets and a further 2 cable-routing holes should make cable management a simple task. Plenty of cable tie-down points ensure that securing the routed cables isn't an issue.
A huge CPU cooler backplate cut-out decreases the possibility of mounting equipment being blocked.
Removal of the front panel is required to install 5.25″ devices and 2x 120mm intake fans.
Mounting the IO ports on the case rather than front panel makes removing it an easy task.
