Antec 1200 EVGA Side Panel Mod Done

[xevosinx]

Hey graffix, do you still have the cad file or w/e you gave designer so they can program waterjet to cut? Or maybe wven the designer's files? Thanks a bunch.

[graffix3001]

@xevosinx I go the logo off of EVGA's website. It is in the marketing section and it was an Illustrator format which I believe is an eps file. I just downloaded that and took it to the compan with the water jet. I will PM you the web page.

[darxxx]

Dude that is absolutely tremendous...only thing it needs imo are sleeved cables...but big respect dude!! How did you cut in the EVGA?

[twunk765]

Does it have Retarded flammable fans ?

[ALTSoundz]

Wow this is a nice case

[cnks1]

any of you now the price of a antec 1200 case ???? please respond i am begging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jakass505]

@cnks1 how about look at prices ?

[AeroFix94]

i am in love with this case dude :)

[MrMaibex]

Nice!

[vanhophip]

how can you cut that letter I wanna cut one like that lols

[TWILisawesome]

The EVGA logo seals the deal. Looks better with a bigger window!

[xSek911x]

How do you light the letters ?

[graffix3001]

@xSek911x I used two meteor lights behind that panel.

[dshou053]

looks great, a bit too much blue lighting though.

[XTRMSystems]

What did u put behind the logo? UV plexiglas with UV light behind or how did you do it!

[skipper124]

now thats sexy

[n1b1kn1b1k]

reminds me of my old antec 1200 build

[mhaneline]

Man I hate this case. I hate the antec 900 too. Actually, I hate Antec in general now. The original Antec 900 was pretty good for it's time, but with cases like the Silverstone TJ07, Corsair Obsidian 700/800D, etc.. Antec needs to step up their game.

[SoCalyankeefan]

you make that great of a pc and you put it under the table :'(

[graffix3001]

@SoCalyankeefan Its an old video. Plus there was no room on the top of this table. It was a kinda small desk.

[football72linemen]

@graffix3001 god i know how that feels i bought a newdesk just to fit my new antec 1200

[Coolguyuno1]

@graffix3001 do you still have the side panel? I'll buy it off you if you don't use the case anymore.

[graffix3001]

@Coolguyuno1 Man sorry you are about 2 1/2 weeks late. I just took my brothers components and put them into this case.

[Aristowi]

Besides the blue LED fans, what else did you use for lighting? Cathodes? Thanks. Cool mod

[JRTPS3]

Yeah, as another user said, did you put an acrylic at the back of the engraved letters? Thanks

Also was it difficult doing the case window?

[graffix3001]

@JRTPS3 No I didn't put anything behind the letters. Also I didn't do the cutout of wht window or the letters myself. I took them to a shop that used a water jet machine. I just didn't want to mess it up.

[JRTPS3]

@graffix3001 How did you get the EVGA font? Is it an actual full alphabet font or just the letters EVGA?

[graffix3001]

@JRTPS3 I got the logo off of EVGA's website in the marketing section. It was an eps file.

[hahay16]

got a question, did you put something on the engraved letters? I mean is it just hollow or you placed an acrylic at the back? hehe.. just wonderin...thanks

[hahay16]

Hey man this vid is great, just what I've been looking for. I know this is already an old vid and lots of people already asked you the same questions all over again. Sorry if I'm gonna ask you again, lol. What did you use for the EVGA lights and where'd you purchase it? I'm planning to do same mod with my 1200, my problem now is the cutting of those letters and those cathode lights you have there. Thanks and again very great vid/

[ROllieHorne]

sickest computer ever! im looking at building a comp with this case. Any chance you can tell me how u got a different clear side panel?

[babydash123]

and how much money did you use ? AWESOME BUILD!

[keithallenlaw]

SWEET! I have same case and running H20. Thought about doing

a 1200 build on air like yours. I see one major flaw. That poor case

is just begging to be on top of the desk to be shown off. Cant you

hear it screaming "STOP HIDING ME UNDER A DESK!"

NICE WORK!

[graffix3001]

@keithallenlaw lol. Thanks man!!!! This is an old video by the way. You should check out the video named dual monitor setup which showed this system in its greatest!!!! I have since switched cases to a water cooled Corsair Obsidian.  Thats my newest video. Thanks for the comment.

[versionintegrale]

@keithallenlaw haha omg i know!!! buying my system in 2 days witht he antec 1200!! and im trying find a bigger desk so i can put it on top!!!!!!!

[battlefieldmasterftw]

[MrQuatje]

[RUDY2295]

im thinking of putting asus as my logo in my antec 902. but it would be sideways and i need to go to a place where they can water jet it.

[nikbear]

Awesome! Really nice work and a credit to you! :-)

[graffix3001]

@nikbear Thanks allot man. I really appreciate it.

[blackjohnny0]

[fixx373]

Looks good nice rig.Good idea doing the evga logo like that very nice.Good tune.

[YoFreakable]

If you ever want to seel it just give me a comment i am amazed at this modding i like it and cool specs as well noted the GTX 295 's in 4 way sli nice touch!

[spudhead96]

fuckkkkkkk. i wish i had money like that :) can you check out my video???

i will be putting a vid up of just my computer tomorrow or sometime soon.

[TheCompjunkie]

very very badass. Love the side panel... love the Plexy... i don't care much for fans on the plexi myself... I love the idea with the Corsair Dominator Fans. I might do this with mine as well.. Got any Mod ideas for a Cooler Master HAF X case? i wanna do something with mine maybe.. Love the switches on front for cold cathods too.. your rig is def sick man.. keep up dope videos :P

[imdabigboinow]

the EVGA cut out is SICK

[m0tyrider]

Thats bloody awesome dude! 

[sozio13]

this is sick i thought my antec 1200 build is nice but this is just beautiful

[graffix3001]

@sozio13 ha ha. Thanks man.

[skaterboy379]

@graffix3001 hahaha nerds dont need porn right??

[xchlppprsx]

...didn't realize you did this in your new video, doesn't that side window look so much better than stock one?

[metalmasterlp]

my inspiration for the new build . Thanks man and great work ! if i have any probs could i PM you ?

[graffix3001]

@metalmasterlp Glad to here that. And yes if you have any issues just let me know and I will see what I can do for you.

[metalmasterlp]

love this vid . i am doing now a custom build of amd side panel on antec 1200 :)

[graffix3001]

@ThorTheCommenter That will work perfectly!!! Thanks for the idea.

[KTCRITCH]

Fucking BEAUTIFUL! and im an ATI fanboy myself...

[SeanBondWBB]

awesome, but dont you think that the PSU label ruined the nice look? it looks like a cheap sticker.

[IjUiCEl]

omg! :O

[HighCalybre]

nice case man .... great job ,,,, btw dose anybody know name of the song ??????

[wobbs07]

that side pannel is sick man .. nice pc .. i have the antec 1200 case also and wudnt mind the window mod on my case lol and maybe a evga logo cut in to the case lol

[haoski]

wow.. nice job man! did u use the water jet machine yourself? the EVGA logo was done nicely

[illmagnified]

sickkkkkkkkkk! I wantttt!

[nirtime]

1 word awesome

[chambs1]

love the old-school Sevendust! Nice rig also. :)

[TheSavageB]

Well done, did you fabricate the new side panel or can you purchase this standard for the 1200(just talking about the windowed part not the cut out of evga)? Just ordered an antec 1200 myself with a 850 hx corsair psu.

[murf572]

YOUR RIG IS AWESOME GREAT JOB

[graffix3001]

@murf572 Thanks man.

[LaczupakabraPL]

Looks really awesome!

[graffix3001]

@LaczupakabraPL Thank you very much. Any updates for you?

[LaczupakabraPL]

@graffix3001 Not really... I'm happy with my setup right now. Stable oc on cpu and gpu's give me pretty good preformance so no need to upgrade now. Cya

[thegreyvingian]

can you tell me what materials you used to do this?

[graffix3001]

@EvanFuckingBinns Nicely put

[thegreyvingian]

@graffix3001 please tell me what you used

[AndrizzleCheck]

sick case mods man. Beats the piss out of mine. But why keep it on the bottom shelf?! I would rep that secks up high as I could!

[graffix3001]

@AndrizzleCheck Check out my video with my new dual monitor setup. My new desk has a stand on the side for the computer.

[Tiltentei]

Great looks, specs and cablemanagment. Cool to have something unique like the EVGA cut out on the side

[graffix3001]

@Tiltentei Thanks allot for the nice comments.

[Aristowi]

Which cold cathodes do you have? I like that, at least in the video, they dont look too bright and it is a nice blue.

[DJx579]

Wow i thought this was an xbox 360 mod...then i saw the graphics card and i was like WTF?....my bad dude MY IGNORANCE

[DJx579]

oh wow, i thought this was a fuckin xbox 360 mod, but then i saw the graphics card and i was like wtf....MY BAD DUDE MY IGNORANCE

[DJx579]

oh wow, i thought this was a fuckin xbox 360 mod, but then i saw the graphics card and i was like wtf....MY BAD DUDE MY IGNORANCE

[DJx579]

oh wow, i thought this was a fuckin xbox 360 mod, but then i saw the graphics card and i was like wtf....MY BAD DUDE MY IGNORANCE

[DJx579]

how much did you spend on this....like 400$

[Intencity69]

my eyes hurt now from all that blue colour lol...

But hey fukin great setup 5*

[RebelKidConcept]

nice but i could see it from accros my house

lol nice job : )

[cristianlg]

lol

[kingkarlit0s]

absolutely beautiful! 5 stars all the way. Keep it up, man!

[Kr0k3n666]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DJx579]

nice..but completely unnecessary

[graffix3001]

@DJx579 No my friend. Your comment is completely unnecessary. My mod was to make it my own. Next time think before you post a comment on someone else's video so you don't make a complete fool of yourself!!!!!

[ownagemum]

fuck you dude that is a nice rig :)

[graffix3001]

@ownagemum Thanks man

[Aristowi]

A dremel pwns a water jet, jk ;), it looks pretty cool actually

[jongrant19]

What brand of cold cathode's did you purchase?

[gamerguy12345]

how much did you have to pay to use the water jet? im thinking about doing this in the future

[graffix3001]

They had a minimum charge of $150. They did the logo and the side window cut out

[jasonblake49]

Very nice looking but I wouldn't have put some brand name. I prefer more creative concepts but since I haven't even made any mods to my 1200 I can't judge.

[HondaNSXk]

wow fucking amazing dude..FUCKING CLEAN,

[graffix3001]

well thank you very much.

[HondaNSXk]

i just did my mods..it isnt that epically cool as yours...but its all i got, check it out soon(: well ima upload it soon

[carapinha96]

OMG! beautiful machine there :>

[KiyoAdrianXevious]

Just a tip buddy, put that case on your desk! It is beautiful, and deserves to be seen every day. :]

I am upgrading to the Antec 1200 aswell as new pc parts in a few weeks, i will modding the hell out of it.

Check my channel for the mods ive done on my pc if you wish, you may of seen a few already (just check the ones from 20 vids ago).

[graffix3001]

I really don't think this desk would support the weight to be honest with you. That fuckers heavy. Its a beast. I like where its at now. Thanks for the comment though. And I have seen your videos too.

[KiyoAdrianXevious]

yeah, after watching a few of your other videos i realize it would be a tricky one. Even though glass looks nicer its best to have a study desk to put them on top.

[Fenix333]

I just bought 2 120mm fans for my antec 1200 that has a window mode too. But I was wondering if the fans should be intake or exhaust? what would give best results.

[graffix3001]

It depends on where you are putting them. Let me know.

[Fenix333]

Behind front fan 1 and 2 from top to bottom so one would be right next to vc and the other one close to cpu cooler.

[graffix3001]

You want them both as intake fans so they are blowing air over the video card.

[TheMRamstaff]

what did u use for the fade in and out of the lights?

[Fenix333]

I think its a meteor cathode lighting tube. I kind of recognize the fading and flashing from one I had.

[graffix3001]

Yes they are 12"  meteor lights

[Fenix333]

I had the same idea of doing something similar to your EVGA mode but I never thought of using meteor lights which I think are the best lights for it due the lighting patterns they can do.

I think I'm going to do same mode but put Antec instead with green meteor lights since my mode is blue/green kind of. I hope I can borrow the tools from the college I work at since I have no tools at all.

[graffix3001]

You might want to look into getting a shop to do it for you with a water jet. You will just need to take them a file with the logo you want. Yes the downside is is that you have to pay a lot of money for the mod but if you do it yourself it wont even look close to as good as they could have done.

[somuch2see]

This is awesome...5/5!

[Tuto660]

which and the price of this Side ??

[PittBullBoi]

where did you get your evga logo cut out done? I was thinking of gettin somethin like that done.

[JohnnyNobody]

That set up is so sick, and so clean.....Very Nice...Thanks for the video and music

[SmokingJoePot]

very nice.

[cilvercivic98]

I would def liquid cool that beast, nice.

[graffix3001]

That is now finally in the works. I just got my i7 920 New X58 3 Way SLI LE Motherboard and 12 Gigs of Dominator Ram. I also have a Monsta "White Edition" Radiator on the way. The rest will be coming soon. More videos will be on the way too. Stay tuned.

[DtCKclan]

haha and while your doing that i just ordered the final parts for my first computer build XD

[26689fahad]

Hi graffix3001, Where or how did you get the EVGA cut out done, and also what lights are you using for the fade in and out flashing thing, oh and by the way your gaming rig looks amazing EVGA logo really suits and looks good on the antec 1200 case. if you can tell me about the lights and how you did the EVGA logo i will be gratefull Thanks.

[cilvercivic98]

Nice, I should make a vid of my comp, it has alot done to it , I love it

[zcookies6969]

what is this first song!?!

and nice case i have the 900 and love it!

[graffix3001]

Sevendust Denial

[steelkane327]

Nice mod,, Looks like my 900 mod,

[pigflesh]

I like your side window mod, the antec 1200 side window doesn't look all that good

[graffix3001]

Thanks. I actually liked the stock side panel. But after getting this cut out I am now a fan of having this over the stock setup.

[sandiegoborn32]

Beautiful job!

[OP4AR15]

Enough to build that computer would be great :)

[graffix3001]

lol

[xchlppprsx]

this is actually probably the neatest best looking build ive , really neat, like the blue cathodes with the side panel mod, its just all around fucking sweet

[graffix3001]

Hey thanks.

[xchlppprsx]

does anyone else think that a plain clear side panel looks way better than one with a fan or some cheesy design, cause this looks sooo much better than the standard antec side window

[OP4AR15]

Can I borrow some money? lol

[graffix3001]

How much you want???

[daveydinodave]

That is fantastic! Good job!

[graffix3001]

Thanks

[gurowiczw]

I be wondering what CPU heatsink you got there...

[graffix3001]

CNPS10X Extreme

[epinky2295]

thats fucking sick..... I recently started my computer build, and I am halfway done.... the only restriction is money (I'm only 16)

[tannermiddleton]

ahh i built my first computer about 2 weeks ago once i got all the parts in took about 1h 30min to build pretty fun. but its not got the beastly video cards that this thing has

[epinky2295]

I am looking forward to putting it all together... the only thing that scares me is the CPU, but I can do the rest...... I have a Raidmax Smilodon case and it should be easier to put everything together.... I am getting an Athlon II X4 CPU and a GeForce 9600GSO tomorrow so I start building when I get home

[tannermiddleton]

nice i have the amd athlon ii x4 620 overclocked to 3.33ghz.

the cpu was acutally the easiest thing lol i was worried to but took like 20 seconds put it on latch it then heatsink the clipped it on very easy.

the hardest thing for me was connecting the stupid hard drive but i got it after a bit.

nice video card to i have the ati radeon hd 4670

[epinky2295]

I have always went with Nvidia, I have had ATi and Nvidia cards and Nvidia has given me a better picture..... when I get the money, I will upgrade the GPU to something much better, I hate it that something new comes out every month tho

[tannermiddleton]

lol im just the opposite i like ati but to each there own i guess. the 9600gs isnt a bad card i thought it gave decent fps and whatnot?

[epinky2295]

I have seen Crysis footage with the 9600gso and it looked fantastic, maybe it will run faster when I OC it and I'm going to get a better CPU cooler so it runs cooler.... I heard that Zalman was pretty good

[tannermiddleton]

yea i have the stock cooler on my cpu and at 3.33ghz i have yet to see my cpu get over 47 degrees Celsius gaming. so im not worrying

[Lupic1995]

WOW thsts sick

[Jakedizzle0926]

man that thing looks sick man. nice job. check mine out man

[graffix3001]

Thanks. I saw your build too. Nice job!

[zvigenizvigeni]

its like a christmas tree.lmao

[graffix3001]

But better!!

[guyver33]

Nice job.

[graffix3001]

Thanks

[TehPwn3rz]

Very sexy rig, indeed. I'm stuck with a 4670 and an athlon 2 x3 still.

[santix10]

and u'r sound card? lol

[worldclassleader]

Sick; enough said (music is awesome 2...lol)

[RoCRoikar]

sweet

[partyjackthexboxguy]

u should put something in between the letters so they do combine lights

[brandonvanlieshout]

With all that hardware and you go with an Antec 1200? Why not a ThermalTake sword (what I got) or at least a coolemaster stacker or cosmos?

the 1200 is good but not a great like the others!

Still nice video..

Got me 2 5870's in crossfire.. This should hold me for 2 years that it will take to work off the price of my system lol..

[graffix3001]

Ummmmm. OK? Sorry but I wouldn't have paid $300+ for the Sword. I wouldn't call any of those cases great. I also never said my case was great either. I just wanted one of the best cases for cable management and that is why I got the 1200.

[SuperSSA]

Great Choice Antec 1200 is the way to go

lots of room to work with, cable management is indeed one of the best, and over all it just looks sick..

Great Job on your machine i Really liked the video.. Great taste on video cards 2 lol

nice mod... EVGA Will be proud of you.. keep up the great work..

I'll subscribe.. Later

[worldclassleader]

Your case is great dude! ...The Sword is God forsaken...lol...The Sword? Come on guys...The Sword????...This computer/custom design is better than nearly every stock case let alone other mods...well what do you know, I have an Antec 1200 too...If Antec (I hope they are not reading this...lol) charged $300 for the Antec 1200, people would still buy it. The quality on this case is amazing; for $150 or so too!

[Jackson34957]

are dual SLI GTX 295s better than dual SLI 9800 GTs (1 gig models) ??

[cheapo911]

yes , but for the price. im not sure

[iqtuz]

@Jackson34957 yes ofc!

[graffix3001]

lol

[kakeaaaa]

YES lol.. by ALOT.. and ALOT of money.

[shinraorg]

Wow lol, comparing those two is like comparing a CoreDuo to an i7.

[TyrantTru]

Looks GREAT!!! Love the deep blue goodness A++
