DSO Antec cases. DSO please read when you can..

Originally posted by DST4ME having said all of that, anybody that wants the 1200 all they have to do is ask for it, we are not limited to what is in the config page.

Yes, but his point is that it's basically a larger version of the 902, so having to pay extra for them to "learn" the case is bogus. Which, yeah, I can kind of see his point on that one. However, I think that if you force a company to go out of their way to please you, you shouldn't complain when they charge you extra. That's just how it works.

Also, b@d, I hope it's not too rude or improper to ask you to use the spell check before you post. Sometimes it's hard to understand what it is you've written.

Lol, not at all. I type fast. And normaly do not go back over what I typed.

The 1200 is a good case, $20-$40 more than the HAF. The 1200 does water cooling ok, 1 tripple and a double inside, but I don't really see it as a better case than the HAF?

I am sorry if people are misunderstaning my post. I am NOT demanding anything, nor am I paticulerly complaining. I am simply stating in my short time on the DSO forums it is aparent that DSO strives to offer the best service and hardware they can to the gaming market. I have also noticed that the overwhelming majority of configuration posts I have read on here are with Full tower cases. And the few that are not configured with a Full tower are ultimatly steard twords one. 

I do understand what you are saying, If we really want something not offerd then we need to do what is required to get it. And if we are not willing to do what is asked then we need to stick with what they offer..That makes sense. Also my other point being that in MOST of the configuration posts that I have read they all end up with a full tower..so there does not SEEM to be any mid tower customers here. Though as I said, that is just from what I have seen, DSO clearly has a better idea of what there costomers are buying then I do. wich is why I said if they feel it is better for there buisines to keep offering a Mid tower choice the I can not argue with that. This post is more of a recamendation from me, on what I would do. They don't have to do it, or I wont complain if they don't lol.

well first let me say thanks for the recommendation, they are always looking for recommendations I'm sure.

what I'm saying is that we advise the HAF because of its performance, so if you want that kind of a performance, its available to us via HAF or 950si.

now in your case for example, you are not gaining anything over the HAF by going with the antec, but the reason you get it is because of preference not performance.

in other words, if you want a car that does 50 miles per gallon (mpg) and has great quality, and I show you a Toyota but you want the Honda from next door, which has the same gas millage, and same quality, then which car you go with is more a matter of preference and not performance.

so you want a great case that is good for air cooling or liquid cooling then DS shows you the HAF and 950si, but you like the antec, that is a matter of preference and why the extra price comes in.

if what we want is available in performance but we don't like its looks then thats preference aka luxury and luxury costs money.

the antec 1200 will cost you more then the HAF even if you bought it from newegg, it just costs more but it offers no performance gain, if anything it does not have lot of useful features that the HAF has, one of my favorites being the HDD bays slide out, making working with HDDs a cinch.

and yes we here on the forum do advise and direct everybody to a full tower because the extra room give better temps and sure does help with upgrades and specially LC system.

IMO for the antec 1200 to be added to the config page, it has to fill a slot that is empty, and right now between the cases they offer, there is no slot empty, for mid tower customers, the antec 902 offers great performance, for full tower customers the HAF and 950si offer great performance, the HAF specially when take into account price vs performance.

so there is no empty slot to fill right now.

also keep in mind that this forum represents a small percentage of what DS does, most of their sales are over the phone and we never even know what they order or what they get.

hope that clears up what I'm saying, and good for you for getting the antec 1200, life is short, if you got the money, then get what you want


I'm enjoying our conversation and your tone is perfectly fine and gentlemanly, I hope I'm coming across as respectable as you are
