Their C8 definitely is one of better Antec cases right now. Would like to see review of C5.

It's almost like you're not a real case manufacturer if you don't have a Lian Li PC-O11 clone....

Sometimes I keep wondering how much market these cases have, almost every single week there a "new case on the block". Are people buying/switching cases every month ? because my Corsair 100R stills "works".... just a thought.

Sorry is that pulling in air at the front via that small raised slot?
It lacks the main image of the case airflow, the air intake is
from the back of the case.
