Introduction

I would like to thank Antec for supplying the review sample.


The Constellation series from Antec represents their modern dual-chamber case line-up. With a full lineup from the smallest C3, to the mid-tower C5 and the tallest C8, this family of enclosures provides options for every use case. We are reviewing the C8 in black, but there's also a white variant.

Packaging


The Antec C8 ships in a brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis in the front. On the other side, there are several other images to dive into the details on the case along with a few paragraphs to let you know about those USPs. On the side, you will find the specification table in multiple languages, while there is only the Constellation case sub-brand on the other end of the packaging.


The chassis is held in place by two thick foam spacers and the accessories box is inserted in-between them as apparent by the cutouts in the spacers. A plastic bag further protects the enclosure from fingerprints and scratches.
