Removing Antec 1200 filters?

[michael.pa2]

Anyone know where I can find detailed instructions for removing the front air filters for cleaning? I bought my system pre-built,and the Antec manual is next to useless.This case has so many screws everywhere and the manual is too vague to know which ones to remove.

You have to remove the drive bays. Start unscrewing (both sides).

There's a flap at the front of each bay. Flip it up and pull.

a manual? it came with one? lol

well you dont have to remove them totally. just undo the screws, then pull out the drive bay about 1-2 inches and youll see the flap. they just pull out. the drive bays are the only thing i wish antec would change....they suck. either than or make them like the 300. the bezel pops off and you can pop the screen out. much easier.

You could call it a manual in the loosest terms,they put so much effort into putting translations in every language imaginable they forgot to put in any useful information.The section on removing the filters is one whole small paragraph that completely leaves out the fact that you have to remove both side panels.It would have been so much simpler to have slots with tabs on the side that the filters could slide in and out of,instead of removing the side panels and all those screws.It's a great case overall,but it would benefit from some design changes.
