Introduction

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


Antec seems heavily invested in the Flux platform because it is a unique selling point that stands out in this otherwise crowded sub-$100 market. With the original DF600 Flux, we saw some thermal benefits, but it was not worth the increased operating noise due to the fact that it only included the fans but not a fan controller. Then there was the P10 Flux, which actually made good use of that thermal platform, and its approach to silence provided a better use case for the Flux setup. Today, we get to review the Antec DF700 Flux, which is also part of the Dark Fleet series and seems to improve usability for that unique fan setup.

Specifications

Packaging

Antec ships the DF700 Flux in a brown box with their signature design. There is an image of the case on front and a blow-up diagram on the rear, next to some written details about the unit. Both sides of the package hold specifications in various languages.


Two solid Styrofoam spacers and a thin plastic bag protect the DF700 Flux from any damage or fingerprints, so you will receive your unit in great condition.
