Antec Inc., a renowned leader in high-performance computer components and accessories, proudly unveils the FLUX Pro, an exceptional PC case crafted to redefine cooling efficiency and visual appeal. Available in both sleek black and striking white finishes, the FLUX Pro combines cutting-edge technology with sophisticated design to enhance any computing environment.

The FLUX Pro stands out with its multi-directional vent design, which expertly engineers dual vertical and horizontal airflow channels to ensure every component remains cool under pressure. The case features fine mesh panels with a 1.2 mm thickness on the front and lower sides, enhancing dust filtration while promoting superior airflow.





One of the standout innovations of the FLUX Pro is its iSHIFT PSU mount. This unique 90° mount offers unparalleled flexibility in installation and optimal use of space, setting a new standard in PSU mounting. The case also includes integrated temperature displays for both CPU and GPU, providing real-time monitoring of your system's thermal performance.

The FLUX Pro's design focuses on user convenience with tool-less panels that snap on and off effortlessly, making maintenance and upgrades a breeze. A full-size bottom dust filter, with a front pull-out design, simplifies cleaning, while I/O dust plugs offer additional protection against debris.

Versatility is at the heart of the FLUX Pro, with removable cooling brackets that allow for customized cooling configurations on the top, front, and PSU shroud. Open PCIe expansion slots and eight reusable PCIe slot covers provide extensive options for customization, while a blend of metal, mesh, and wood materials creates a premium look and a cozy, home-like feel.

The case is also equipped with an ARGB/PWM hub for seamless integration with your motherboard and synchronized lighting effects, ensuring that your setup looks as good as it performs. Organized cable management is facilitated by rubber grommets and Velcro straps, keeping your build neat and tidy. The flexible hard drive cage can be moved to accommodate additional 2x 140 mm/120 mm fans on the bottom when removed.



Key Features:
  • Extensive Fan Support: Accommodates up to 12 fans simultaneously. Comes total of 6x pre-installed with 3x Tranquil 140 PWM fans in the front, 2x P12R PWM reverse fans in the PSU chamber, and 1x Tranquil 140 PWM fan in the rear, delivering robust airflow.
  • Innovative iSHIFT PSU Mount: Unique 90° PSU mount provides flexible installation and optimal space utilization.
  • 420 mm Radiator Support: Designed to support large 420 mm radiators at both the top and front for advanced liquid cooling solutions.
  • Dual CPU/GPU Temperature Display: Integrated temperature displays for both CPU and GPU ensure real-time monitoring of your system's thermal performance.

The FLUX Pro is now available at select retailers and online stores. The pricing is set at US$179.99 for the standard FLUX Pro and US$184.99 for the FLUX Pro White variant, reflecting Antec's commitment to offering premium products that combine performance with aesthetic excellence.

Since its inception in 1986, Antec has been a leader in the high-performance computer components industry, dedicated to providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of PC enthusiasts worldwide. With a legacy of quality, performance, and silent computing, Antec continues to drive innovation in the industry.

180 USD? What is Antec smoking? I mean, it does look like a pretty decent/good case but I see nothing that would justify that high of a price. I can get a Fractal Design North XL for less!

$180 is very good price for what this offers. Fractal Design North XL is no where even close to this case. Plus Fractal Design North XL is $180, same price, unless on sale.

They do have a version without that, likely would be cheaper. As the case only comes with 1x 120mm bottom and 3x120.

Then Flux Pro is not your target. There is the base Flux.

Yes, the non Pro has no display but its much smaller case (mid-size case) as far as fans and cooling space.

Antec, no!

What happened to Antec's quality cases at reasonable prices?
Heck, they even used to offer sound-insulated and well shielded cases. What even is this?!

For a "Full" tower case IO could do with 4x Type A ports and is missing LEDs. Otherwise good to see Antec not removing 3.5" drives just for the sake of instead providing options not just 3x3.5" drives but also placement of drives. Even the PSU rotation option to improve air intake from bottom is a great way to improve airflow to all the hot components(SSDs and GPU) that boards have in that area these days.

....I was actually impressed.....until i saw the price, I get it...Toyota makes Lexus, Nissan has infinity even Hyundai has a banger but they worked their way up to it. Antec needs rebuild their image. This case is a great start but they can't start pricing at the deep end of the pool.

Not from what they're showing on their site. Both cases include the wood accent, while the base Flux does not include the temperature readout, which I like.


That config on base spec makes no sense. Why include 3x120mm fans in front and 1x120mm on the PSU chamber, instead of 140mm like in Pro? Just how much does it save to use 120 vs 140? I would rather get the case for even less money with the basic 2x140mm intake and 1x140mm exhaust instead of what hey are offering.

No sane person would even go for 120mm when 140mm fits.

The price doesn't bother me much. Although I'd rather pay less and buy my own fans, this case does come with six of them. The screen seems like a pointless gimmick, and I could do without the wood accents. It's unfortunate that cases with four USB-A ports are becoming an endangered species, though I suppose the answer to that is "buy a hub."

Still, not a bad impression, overall. I'm interested to see reviews of this product. It's been a very long time since I last said that about an Antec case.

Great to see more wood cases.

Kinda like North and XL more tho. I will probably go that route, when I buy 9000X3D or Arrow Lake next.

i like the design of the Fractal North (XL). but the fact that the Front-Frame is made of cheap plastic is a nogo! also the metal inside is fragile.
glueing the wood onto the plastic is also kind of cheap.

the Flux Pro looks a lot more premium.
