The case looks boring, it seems like there out of design ideas.

I actually like the look and the fact that Antec switched to side mounted HDD bays, as it was long overdue IMO!

I agree Speed, this is a solid looking case. It's not too overstated, but it's flashy enough to catch your eye. Nice to see solid cable management in this series, too. That was my biggest gripe with the original 1200, the minimalist cable management system that it had.

You must hate the majority of Lian Li cases then.
I like the look of the 1100, like Speed and iskout said. Nice and simple, nothing flashy or gaudy, just a clean looking case that anyone would be happy to go for.

It actually doesn't look bad at all, but it does seem a littlle cheesy that a $130 case that can take up to 9 different fans end up with 7 of them being optional.
