All 5 of the fans the Antec Twelve Hundred has come with fan controllers. The back two 120mm fans and the 200mm fan are controlled in the back, the intake fans are controlled in the front. Each of these has an adjustable knob. If you click the full size image the flash isn't as dominant. The flash is required to get these items of small detail to show up properly. If you want to get an idea how inconspicuous each of these knobs are, check out the full size images and see if you can spot them.

Here are the bottom 3 bays, these constitute 9 of the 12 total bays. Notice that one has a fan bracket on it to allow you to install an extra 120mm fan to improve air flow. Pay careful attention to the air filter and where it sits in each bay. The air filter simply pops out and is washable in the sink to allow easy cleaning. Each of the bays is sturdy (read: heavy) and comes with a 120 mm fan in the front. These fans all are intake fans by default, but removing just a few screws will allow you to change that if you so choose.

This is the location on the side panel that you could install the extra 120mm fan into. If you end up water cooling your rig, you can remove one of the fans from the back and place it here. This fan slot contains an air filter and is the perfect location to flood your video card with cool air.

Here is the PSU spot (at the bottom of the case). Notice that if the cut out part is removed, a larger, non-standard power supply can be installed. You can also easily see the 4 grommets that the power supply will sit on to help isolate any vibrations the fans would make.
