Seeing as we have been talking a lot about coolers recently, has anyone heard anything good or bad about the Antec 1220 ?

I am still thinking about what to get next, at the moment it looks like it will be the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro as that looks to be the best buy, but I have not heard anything about the Antec 1220.

Edit: Also I saw this which looks really cool, it's kind of like a custom kit but is still like an all in one. It's pretty pricey but I like the idea of it.

Paul.

If that Oc UK one is as good as they say then i reckon it's worth the money, It certainly looks the part enit chap

Yeah looks wise it's great, I bet it performs good, you can change it to a better rad for an extra £13 too. It's expensive but I do like the look of it. Do you know anyone that wants to buy an Antec 1100 and a Kuhler 920

I had to navigate to the UK version of the Antec page to see what you were talking about Paul. I've never heard of the Antec 1220. I always wondered why Antec didn't have a dual rad system available honestly........but it appears they do. I've never heard hide nor hair of it though. Seems you can't even look at it in the US lol. They should have made a 200mm unit since Antec has such a hard on for big 200mm fans lol.

That makes sense, if it's not available in the States then that's why there has not been any talk of it. I am surprised they have not made it available in the States, I don't know what the thinking is behind that.

Yeah lol, a single 200mm rad and fan, that would do nicely for the roof of our cases eh Kelly

Edit: I just did a search for a review on it, looks like it has been out for 5 or 6 months already, it performs slightly better than the 920 which is to be expected.

I look at reviews and articles from all over the world, and have still never seen this. Is it new?

See my edit above Kelly.

Thanks Paul. It's a shame it's only 27mm thick. That would be just about perfect if it were the thicker 38mm standard.

No worries.

I keep looking at that custom cooler I linked to earlier, I really like it, I will be ordering my new case at the end of this week, I will have to wait until next month to get a cooler, but I think that custom one would certainly look the part and is a bit different.

What exactly are they reusing from the Cooler Master Eisberg unit? I've heard good and bad things about that particular unit, which is why I asked. I've read several reviews that said the pump was really loud and the mounting solution was less than desirable.

Check this video out:



Actually, after doing some research, it just looks like you can buy the Eisberg Prestige Solo pump, which is what they did. Looks like they use their own fittings, hoses and a choice of two different rads. The one good thing about the Eisberg Prestige all in one unit was the radiator was copper instead of aluminum, but they didn't use it.
