Antec DF-85

Darksaber · Feb 20, 2011

The Darkfleet series from Antec features a very industrial design and comes jam packed with fans and features. There are models for every budget and the DF-85 is the largest of the bunch. we take a look at the many unique extras within the chassis and walk away impressed by both the price and performance.

There's a mistake on the review. Review says that there is no dust filters on intake fans! Correction! There are 3 very good dust filters on there, you can even see the clips on the front doors, where you can open them and pop out n clean them.

So please correct that important thing

Nice review, but in some cases disorderly made.

It's 2011 and Antec still won't add a PSU intake. Upside-down PSU = harder cable management.

Hey man, the case came out last year, what do you expect? but it is not an excuse. :nutkick:

PSU ventilation has existed for years. This case is still a disappointment and those prices are not equal to the US ones as the review said.
