The packaging is very much in keeping with the design from Antec’s website. A mystical image of Eleven Hundred is found on the front with all key features and technical details being on the sides and back. Note that the packaging has Antec 25 written on it – this identifies and celebrates Antec’s 25 years in the business.

Inside, Eleven Hundred is covered in a clear plastic sheet and held in place via 2 polystyrene pillars. The side window has a protective film on the outside and inside.



Removing Eleven Hundred from its packaging we get our first glimpse of how this gaming chassis looks. Many would have been expecting a resemblance to do Twelve Hundred but the Eleven Hundred carries many of its design aesthetics from the smaller Three Hundred – having sleek, discreet and smoother externals.

The prominent side panel has a large Perspex window allowing you to see inside. This window also has mounting holes for attaching dual 120mm cooling fans (there are no filters). On the other side, there is a convex side panel to allow better cable management and a honeycomb mesh section allows for a 120mm cooling fan to sit behind the CPU socket/motherboard tray for additional cooling.





So far, so good. Let’s take a closer look at the external features on Eleven Hundred over the page.
