CONCLUSION

   One of my all-time favorite movies happens to be called the Legend of 1900 so when i heard that Antec was going to release the nineteen hundred PC Case i immediately thought of that movie and as expected i hoped for the best. Well i don't know if that's a lucky number but the new nineteen hundred tower left all of us with the best possible impressions. It's very spacious, has a large number of features, the quality is equally great, it comes ready with amazing airflow levels (without sacrificing quietness) and you can fit pretty much every hardware component out there inside. Of course much like most things that doesn't mean that the Nineteen Hundred is perfect cause it's really not. You see Antec has only given it space for a single 240mm radiator at the top (for its size it should have two) and although most people will be satisfied with just one i still can't figure out why they didn't choose to make space for an 360mm one instead (there's plenty of free space up there). The primary PSU bay is also strange since you can't really fit a large PSU there, well you can but the cables will not be at all easy to route (if at all) so in the end for people who will choose such models that bay will remain empty and since it's all the way to the bottom rear i don't think it can be used for another purpose. I also would like to see a speed controller for the 3 front fans since their own ones are too small and not very easy to get to so unless you have an fan controller which you can use this may annoy you (although to be fair i don't think that their noise levels will bug anyone even at high).

   Towers like the Nineteen Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case have a very small target audience which consists from enthusiasts, professionals and hardcore gamers meaning generally people who don't mind spending quite a bit to get something unique. Fortunately although the recommended retail price was set somewhat high you can now find the Nineteen Hundred for USD192.94 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 260Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Overall although once again EU consumers have to pay a lot more than our USA friends (who knows if that will ever change) the Nineteen Hundred is quite reasonably priced especially when for example the somewhat similar Obsidian 900D retails for USD328/330Euros and the Cosmos II retails for USD299/340Euros. Still the Nineteen Hundred is not as complete as those two towers and although I’m certain it can cover the needs of pretty much the 90% of its target audience it will still fall short for that special 10% and that's why it ends up getting our Golden Award.
