Antec Inc., a Californian supplier of high-performance computer components and accessories for the gaming, PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself market, presents the NX320, the new model in the NX series. The mid-tower is equipped with three 120 mm ARGB fans and is now available at a very affordable price of €69 (recommended retail price including VAT).

The NX series from Antec offers a large selection of gaming cases with LED lighting and eye-catching front panel designs. The new NX320 case has a side panel made of tempered glass and puts the built-in components in the limelight. The case from the entry-level segment measures 422 mm x 215 mm x 446 mm (DxWxH) and is compatible with ATX, mATX and ITX motherboards. The NX320 supports graphics cards with a length of up to 355 mm and CPU radiators with a maximum height of 160 mm. It offers space for up to six fans and is factory-fitted with three ARGB fans. In addition, the tower offers space for a 360 mm radiator at the front and a 120 mm cooler at the rear of the chassis.



Seven expansion slots, two 3.5-inch bays (convertible to 2.5-inch bays) and three dedicated 2.5-inch bays offer sufficient space for drives and cards. The I / O panel has power and LED control buttons, a USB 3.0, two USB 2.0 ports and Mic / HD audio jacks.

Not liking how they basically halved the airflow with that silly front design. I think Antec as a whole are pretty long in the tooth at this point. There was a time where their cases were just so awesome and even their budget cases were great but now all i see is just trash. They are so done. They are all washed up and nobody in management is willing to listen so they keep dragging themselves down the road in the gutter like this

Looks like one of many generic import gamer cases, but with an Antec badge. I don't hate it, but I most certainly don't like it. The front grille unnecessarily blocking ~50% of airflow is a big negative too.

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
I want Antec to be good again.

Antec was good, two decades ago.

For the last decade they've been low-quality also-rans and they always seem to be a couple of years late to market with designs - this case is making all the mistakes that other manufacturers made in 2019 and corrected in 2020.

Aside from playing peek-a-boo with the front fans, the case doesnt look wide enough to plug regular cables into the drives mounted in the two trays. You would 90° connectors to do that. Also, I see no rubber grommets or even protection for cables, although it does look like they rolled the edges, I cant tell without a close up image.

I'd say they gave up on their communicating. When ya got blinders on, its hard to tell someone to take them off.

Most companies since rgb became a thing have fallen.
