As this is a preview of a chassis, there will be no award or score. Simply because we cannot judge the final quality and feature set and still have hopes that any negative aspects will be fixed in the final version.
In terms of first impression, the Antec ONE does a great job. It takes a different approach than one of the main competing cases, the Fractal Design CORE 3000, by offering better build quality, USB 3.0 along with a noticeably different internal look and functionality. As Antec is clearly rebooting their entire case line-up, the ONE chassis may as well be the thing the company needs to really put it on the map again in terms of price/performace. We look forward to receiving the final chassis to see how it will manage to cope when filled up.
