CLEAN!!!

 

[Hyderz]

Colors looks cool though but itx is pricey

 

[wolar]

Looks nice but price is kinda high considering competition (M2 especially).

 

[gffermari]

...299???
Just no.

Too bad, it looks interesting.

 

[AcE]

antec is back i guess.

 

[Neo_Morpheus]

Price makes it an automatic pass.

Shame, its a nice case.

Aesthetically pleasing (except for yucky green color), but way overpriced IMHO....

Typically, machined aluminum cases, the few that exist, are quite expensive, so knowing Antwec like I do, I'm wondering what corners (no pun intended) they had to cut to get this one down to ~$316 ?

Probably a few "gotcha's" somewhere that won't be evident until you have it in hand, but I will wait for some reviews to see what they have to say about it...

And now that I think about it, it looks very similar to the BitFenix Prodigy M......coincidence or what ?

Classy build.

I wonder about the unique pattern of the grills for the sides. It looks more aesthetic than practical. It could produce weird acoustic harmonics with high CFM airflow.

That antec case is actually fairly expensive compared to similar CNC machined boutique ITX cases. I was expecting a lower price coming from a "big" case maker

I miss Lian-Li fully aluminum chassis. This is absurd, at this price point.

 

[Chaitanya]

Colors looks cool though but itx is pricey

Aluminium tax on top of ITX tax. That colour looks good though.

 

[Operandi]

Same. Lian Li used to be the leaders making clean looking cases for adults that didn't stand out with like a giant over sized tribute to Voltron (00s) or unicorn vomit light show (2010s+). Now they are just another follower in the tempered glass RGB trend that dominates everything that isn't ITX.

This Antec looks fine and there are few others out there like Fractal but everything is pretty much ITX which is too limiting in space and a pain to work in. The form factor has its place but it really doesn't appeal to me.

 

[TPUnique]

19L and doesn't accomodate mATX mobos ? That's a no for me.

 

[Neo_Morpheus]

Now that you guys are mentioning ITX, I don’t recall any MATX cases using this kind of design.

Am I correct or simply missed them?

I personally would like one using the “sandwich “ design.

 

[wheresmycar]

At first glance: THIS IS THE ONE!!

few coke lines down the page to "MSRP": FFS!!

Window shopping complete!

 

[Neo_Morpheus]

few coke lines down

No sale even after several lines?

 

[wheresmycar]

No sale even after several lines?

The nose committee convened. filtered and dismissed (uptight bastaads)

 

[Hyderz]

tempting... the interior similar to fractal design terra

 

[PaddieMayne]

Antec are definitely back in the game, recently bought the C8 wood and it's a beauty with quality and features that put the competition to shame....looking at you Corsair. This itx case exudes quality.

Nice to have them back, I was always an antec guy back in the day.

*Hate* the red.

Second that! Was building ITX (Console-like travel builds) and mATX (SFF to put next to High-end TV / VR- Setup in the Living room) in the last couple of years for family friends and some acquaintances.
Some choose stuff like FORMD T1 series, NCASE M series, Ghost S1, etc. all of them cheaper.

In that price range, you start to get custom CnC'ed cases.

 

[CosmicWanderer]

I absolutely love the design. It has a non-gamer look, almost like a ThinkPad desktop.

The price is fine for me, happy to pay extra for a design that I like, so long as it functions well enough.

Looking forward to this one!

Very nice idea prefere to my half glass but with out smaller air holes or filter which I have on mine my gpu and cpu fans get completly packed within 2 weeks. However it runs a 78003dx at max 40c and gpu at 20 to 60c I use 10 fans and I did the m 93 cfm 10 doller rgb fans so even running 480 fps on high on poe2 it never breaks 40c. I wear headset so I don't car about noise. And the glass makes it very esthetic. Without filter that case will plug fast unless water cooled and that defects the purpose and water takes half the life away from ur machine fans make ur comp run 7 to 10 years water is 5 to 7 and lots of work one leak and it's toast I use a g70 case all amd. And cyber punk plays over 200 fps and it's 2k to 4k not running anything at 1080p

P.s the gpu is sapphire nitro rx7900xtx vapor the fastest of 7900s amd is made to run better with amd. And before an comments I've had a laptop since before the public new u could have a home computer around 5 years prior and the gpu is overclocked so it should run hotter but cfm is everyth8ng 8f u want it cool
