Antec Introduces the CX600M Trio PC Case

[GFreeman]

Antec Inc., a global leader in high-performance computer components and accessories, is proud to announce the launch of the Antec CX600M Trio Mid-Tower Gaming Case. This latest addition to Antec's chassis lineup combines compact design with cutting-edge modern style, delivering a jaw dropping microATX case that's perfect for modern, high-performance PCs.

Triple Transparent View
Display your build through the top, front and side with seamless tempered glass panels. The well-crafted CX600M Trio ARGB provides you with the ultimate unobstructed view.



Dual Chamber
Dual chamber design ensures independent cooling for CPU/GPU on the left and PSU / Drives on the right.

Vertical Cooling with massive air intake
A large amount of air is taken in through the bottom and side, facilitating heat dissipation and protect hardware from overheating. The 1.5 mm fine mesh on the right side prevents dust entry.

Pre-installed 3 x 120 mm ARGB/PWM Fans.
Use the major case fan to daisy-chain the other two fans for ARGB sync and create your personal style.

Support for Dual Radiators
Supports the simultaneous installation of a 360 mm radiator on the bottom and a 240 mm radiator on the side.

MSRP
The stunning CX600M Trio is aggressively priced at only €109 / £89.99 street price, allowing you to spend more of your budget on other components. Price without compromise!

Availability
The black model of the Antec CX600M Trio will be arriving into stock with resellers in the next 1-2 weeks. The white model will be arriving a little later with an expected arrival date of January.

While its good to see mATX dual chamber case but top glass panel instead of vented panel is a step in wrong direction. Also IO panel with 1x USB 3 Type A and 1x USB 2 Type A is also quite stupid along with replacing Reset button with button for LED control and missing drive activity LED.

Typical Antwec garbaggio.... nope, not doin that

Ermagerd, it's a split-chamber fish-tank design! I've never seen one of those.

I wouldn't call something stupid just because I wouldn't buy it.

• The top glass is a design decision, somebody is out there who likes this (no, not me - but I can tolerate it). You can get other cases with a similar aquatic design and a mesh ceiling panel from Antec (in the constellation series) or other manufacturers, if you want to.
• IO panels getting rid of the reset button and using it as LED control is pretty typical for RGB-centric glass cases
• You don't need a power LED in a RGB-centric case and build. Pretty sure you will know if the machine runs. And not only Antec follows this philosophy. Concerning the drive activity LED, granted, there is none, but if you are really missing another light, there are multiple RGB-related solutions. Hint: There is a free pin on every motherboard. Install an DYI LED or activity stripe or what you want. Or install a software LED. And again, this is basically design philosophy, most of the new ANTEC constellation cases do not have those. Other manufacturers do not have those. Apple getting rid of most LEDs on their devices is another famous example. So it's not a biggie in 2024. If you want activity LEDs on the case (I like those too, to be honest), simply buy another case. But it's brand philosophy, not stupidity.

Those decisions follow some brand identity or series identity. So when you said stupid, I just thought, "Oh, I've seen that on a lot of other cases too and I feel like I know why they did it."

In my opinion, most cases aren't stupid, they're just made different for different people.

However, I will make an exception concerning stupidity - I think. This is what i saw today, the new Geometric Future Model 5 case with the PSU in the front. I do think this one isn't particularly cleverly made. Especially the version that has a solid plate for a decorative figure that lays on top of the GPU. Willingly by design, to add, to partition air from the the only side intake directly to the GPU. Leaving the back fan and the AIO fans in the ceiling without a real job. And all this to present the PSU chamber and a decorative figure to the glass front. Imho that is one funny case:

But even then, maybe stupid is too harsh a word. If you want a decorative figure and only good GPU Temps (presumably), this is your case

Current case manufacturers be like: MAXIMUM GLASS PANELS!!!

Every time I see one of these, I think of this:

Boring glasshouse

 

[chrcoluk]

Looks like a case sponsored by Nvidia for its GPU bricks, super wide.

Figure is optional, and even if it is not, that case have million times better airflow than Antec fishtank.

This new Antec is useless except for basic PC configurations...

 

[joemama]

You guys don't seem to understand that not everyone has a 14900k+4090 that requires a maximum airflow case to keep it cool
This case is clearly designed for people who love to turn their case into a light show

If you say so

Knew would you be along to slag off Antec products. You are too predictable.

The name sounds pretty familiar.
