Antec Lanboy air Blue Black / Blue Computer Modular Case

Comment:
Worth every penny. I constructed this sucker last night taking the guts out of an Xclio 777. I never had a develop go so well. It's wonderful how it comes apart so quickly so you can get at parts that would be too tight in other situations the very same size.It's nice to be in a position to use the handles to move it around and have not feel as if all the plastic parts come apart or dislocate in the move. This situation is solid the moment it's built suitable.Make positive you read the directions about adding fans. This issue is created to have all fans to draw air into the case, even the regular exhaust fans pull air in. I don't know if the folks in the factory essentially count the screws and other factors when packing this point up. It appears as if they willy nilly a handful of screws and such into the baggies. I got sufficient rubber gaskets for 1 1ǘ SSDs. Not positive where I can get half an SSD, but possibly Antec is thinking ahead. Or I just want my two rubber gaskets. You choose.It's really not enough to take off too many Eggs, but sufficient to take off a single. We builders create our personal mainly because we spend interest to the particulars. It would be great if we could discover a organization that does the same. I added four a lot more fans to what's stock. It took me a minute to figure out how to install the top rated fans, then I realized you had to mount them on the outdoors of the situation. At initial I was sort of weirded out with the believed, but employing the stock fan screws every thing lined up tight and actually looks pretty awesome. I wouldn't have completed it if I had kids around and I had this on the floor, but I work in a warzone. If I get hurt from a couple fans, then I'm just out of luck in life.Make sure you read the directions about adding fans. This point is created to have all fans to draw air into the situation, even the classic exhaust fans pull air in. If you doubt how it operates, I'm peering into my case as I form this and my readings on my MSi 790FX state that my processor is 18C.This situation is tight, and I'm not which means the slang term of tight either. Every single part has it's place, and there isn't also significantly wiggle space. The engineers did a excellent job of designing this undesirable boy

-Superb airflow-Plenty of area for expansion-Insanely modular-"AirMounts HDD suspension mount technique" is trully amazing-15 distinct spots to mount fans-The mounted toolbox is an great feature that ALL circumstances need to have-Looks good Would have liked it to include at least a couple a lot more fans, but at least purchasing more is low cost... Antec tends to make a excellent item, and this case is no exception. I purchased this to replace my Antec 1200 (also a good situation), and I couldn't be happier.

Good style, simply houses my motherboard and graphics cards. 5 built in fans make it super cool and the blue LED lights make for a sleek look. The air mounted drives are fascinating, incredibly quite. The cherry on the cake, the handles. If it sits by my desk till its death the handles will have been worth it just for the moving I did while installing my new system. Excellent feature that really should be on a lot more situations. Place for SSDs is a bit problematic. My SATA connectors are fat on one particular finish and skinny on the other. Ideally you'd want to have the skinny part on the MOBO, otherwise it takes up two slots. I had to place the skinny element on the SSD due to the fact it lays so close to the outer frame of the situation. Minor problem as I only use three of 6 SATA slots now and would most likely only add one more more than time. I believed the blue looked kinda cheesy when I initial purchased it, but in fact it's best. The case itself just looks sexy. The blue is a brushed metal, very classy. I genuinely could not be far more content with this situation. I feel like I don't genuinely use substantially of the modular aspect (I just moved a handful of fans around that didn't fit since of my video card), but even so...looks good, lots of space, remarkable cooling. General extremely pleased.

Setup was beyond straightforward for getting as modular as it is.Performance wise it goes above and beyond. Air flow and modifications are superb.As for looks I was blown away by the mean look it has. Didn't develop itself The multispeed fans had been a incredibly incredibly good touch. Also the built in toolbox has come in handy currently.

Mobo trayruns coollooks coolToolbox is goodI like the suspended challenging drives and the spot for the ssd'sLots of places to mount fans. I dont like how the toolbox has screws to get it out.I have the cooler master v8 and it will fit but you cant add fans on that best section of the side panel cuz they wont fit.An additional issue with the massive heatsink is that the mobo tray didnt function for me simply because when I went to slide it in the heatsink hit.Price Excellent situation. Looks good. The price tag is a tiny high though I won this situation at a LAN.

looks cool sturdy handles its a small a lot more tough to wire than my prev instances but when i get some a lot more zip ties i will make it appear betterand had to go to lows for some far more screws to place more fans in but that was four.25 for screws and some washers mainly because the head of the screw was to tiny but nevertheless enjoy the case. got it out of the box smiled and mentioned ya that proper then added 10 much more 120mm fans and now theres not only a wind turbine in my room but my complete space glows blue

Comment:
It is extremely extremely positive on the airflow...and like they say in videos and in text...DO point any further fans inwards.The fans give off a nice blue light....but don't add any extra led fans till you see it initial. As for cooling it does what it claims- and additional ! For this case it seriously isn't a con but there are no filters,so it could collect some dust "outside"...a damp towelette or wipe removes it Blue is the much better case color ....and the blue fans that go with it helped make a decision that for me .:)

Lightweight, easy access to the innards, practically no want for any tools, fantastic air flow, a lot of space. Very customizable and it looks fantastic! No manual included in the box. Granted it's not that major of a deal since the manual is very easily accessed on the internet, but it makes sense to have it included. No loss of an egg though! I dove into my very first laptop construct with small knowledge of really developing computer systems, so it was surely a challenge, but this case produced it Incredibly effortless to set up, and the cable management in this modular case is excellent. Definitely advise this!

-Can disassemble down to practically just the framework-Mounting system makes it possible for for practically no vibration from the HDDs-Can manage a ATI Radeon 5970 w/ space to spare-Nearly sufficient screws -While Antec has stated that this case can hold up to 15 fans, none of the screws they provided can be utilised to mount common 120mm fans to the leading of the case. I referred to as client help and they said they would pass along the facts. I tried mounting from the prime and it did not function. The screws are just a little as well little.-Right after installing the 5970, I discovered it hard to plug in the correct most power cable because the framework of the case was essentially blocking the port. I managed to squeeze the cable in but it was really hard. -More screws for mounting fans would be appreciated. I had just adequate to mount five fans to the side panels along the drive bays but not sufficient for the two far more you can place on the side panel that has two pre-installed. I managed to get all the components installed and I swapped out the pre-installed fans for some Scythe SY1225SL12SH on the two front and two Rosewill Blue LED fans on the sides. In addition to the push/pull fans on the H70, I have 9 fans total in the case with feasible room for 1 a lot more on the side panel if I can find some much more screws.This is really a excellent case but it does have some problems from producing it great. Largely the truth that there appears to be no way to install fans in the top rated of the case.

Very ModularGood Air FlowInsanely Quiet Side fan mounts are plastic and can be easily broken if screws are more than tightened Great case and would advise to anybody looking for a good modular case

Comment:
This is my very first case, and it is simply great. The open design is fantastic and keeps the internals super cool as a result as well as allowing you to see all your LEDs and setup. The toolbox is fantastic for holding all your spare/extra screws and stuff. The floating drive setup is wonderful for keeping your drives quiet. none Any person that is complaining about there not getting any screws and what not is just ignorant, there is a toolbox at the bottom of the case that has all the needed gear in it.

Comment:
This case is absoloutely phenominal. Ideal case I have ever owned. It is really user friendly. The air flow is above and beyond what I thought it would be for becoming all open. The customizations accessible are numerous. The watercooling tray on leading and the SSD bays are a good bonus. The case just looks mean. Some of the case looks like inexpensive plastic. Thats all I can come up with.

Comment:
great case. upgraded from a cooler master elite 310. IMIDIATELY noted that there was a Big drop in temp. about 20°c. comes stock with 5 fans. those 5 fans are all l.e.d. and appear quite good, and are quite quiet, each fan has a speed manage, even with all cranked up on high, it barely makes a whir. installation of the internal components is swift and uncomplicated, the air mounts for the challenging drives are really interesting. can customize literally just about almost everything you could picture about this case. dust gathers a bit around the intake fans, but clean up is a snap! installation of added fans is literally a sort of "snap in" action. no screws required, quickly houses nvidia 470 SLI, and hulking heat sync.

LOOKS Remarkable! LOTS OF Room! Totally customizable, u can set it up anyway u like it! The mesh sides makes all components run very cool nice ventilation ideal case all the way about for ppl who want to get into OC!!! NONE SO FAR! u cant go incorrect with this case i promise! don't listen to these ppl who give it low egg ratings b/c if u read it its often about a thing stupid they could figure out or get correct lol

Hey, the case is great. Looks excellent. Works excellent. Arrived OK. And it's workable. I feel like I gotta be cautious when operating the panels mainly because they are plastic. The blues. I want to add a couple more fans but I cant locate any to match the ones that came with the lanboy blue. The ones that I already have and want a lot more of are black 120mm fans with blue LEDs. Any individual know exactly where to uncover them?

With out a doubt the best temperatures I have ever gotten. I paired this with a 95 Watt TDP 1055t CPU and I can not load the cores past 28 Centigrade operating Prime95, and I am only using a fundamental Cooler Master TX3 Cooler. In my old "enclosure" I would load a full ten degrees greater. My graphics core temp also dropped seven degrees, helping me to enhance its over clock a bit (Radeon 5870). Also, the case just plain looks incredible! You would feel the open mesh would make it loud, but the temps becoming what they are let you to tame your loudest fan a bit and actually run it fairly quiet. Its just an amazingly practical design. Modular selections are fun to play with and re configure as well. As enjoyable as the modular design can be, I will say, cable management in this case is much less than perfect. It can be performed, but it takes an extraordinarily quantity of patience to route power supply cables in a way that looks decent when you open up that side panel. There just is nowhere to hide in this case. The motherboard tray has a small bit of recessed region, but it could stand to have some much more. I'm basically preparing on designing my own conduit method for it. If you are a performance enthusiast and you want your maximum over-clock possible, this is your case. The thermal design improvements are astounding.

I like the design, mainly. I like the reality that you can generally take the whole thing apart and get to all your equipment from distinct angles is a nice function. The MOBO tray and the PSU tray that slide out are amazing. The handles are a superb notion. The mesh sides rather of a solid side do enable for wonderful airflow and heat dissipation, even so..... The case is cramped. It requirements to be a little wider ( from front to back ) The cable management is sub par, specially when comparing it to the Antec 1200. Yes you can hide them behind the MOBO tray ( which is tough if you have a full ATX board )but there is no space at the best of the case to come in above the MOBO for the 8 pin power plug. I could do it in the 1200 but not this 1. A different issue is the best USB three. plug. For the duration of their evaluation they left out the truth that you have to bring the cable by means of your case, out the back and then plug it in a USB port on your MOBO. A turn off for me, I just coiled it up and left it unconnected.Yes you can mount fans on top of the case, ON THE OUTSIDE?? And if you do this, you have to remove the back handle. And if you use am ANTEC Two speed fan, the manage for it will not reach the back of the case exactly where it is supposed to be mounted. Not to mention there isnt a way to bring the plug for the fan via the leading of the case to get it power. The suspended challenging drives are cool and really you will need it in this case due to the fact they can slide back and forth which assists when connecting SATA cable and power to them. Now I have 13 fans installed on this sucker and it moves some air which I like. The fans sit suitable on best of the CPU and the video cards so they get to run a lot far more cooler.I tell ya, if they come out with a second version of this case and in fact give it a little far more room, I'd jump all over it. In the meantime, it will do just fine. I though, am hoping they come out with a second version which opens it up a small much more.Program SPECS:I7 980X three.33GHZASUS P6T7 SUPERCOMPUTER MOBO2 X 600GB VELOCIRAPTORStwo X 2TB WD CAVIAR BLACK24GB KINGSTON HYPERX MEMORY WITH HYPERX FANANTEC 1200W HIGH Current PRO PSUEVGA GTX 580 SUPERCLOCKED ( WAITING FOR 590'S, WILL GET 2 IF I CAN )ANTEC LANBOY BLUE CASE ( 13 FANS/COOLERMASTER 120MM )KILLER PRO NIC

Very good searching case, keeps my hardware dustless and cool. none Lower the price a bit.

Comment:
No dust.... amazingNonetheless looks great.Good cooling Requires Taller feet on the bottom. If you set your laptop or computer on carpet the carpet will stick up out of the bottom of the case. Hey Bunni, the tool box has all the screws you need and is mounted below the bottom fan on the front of the case. Its is held in by two screws. You do not need to have to buy addational screws except for some cause they only give you 6 Mobo screws rather of nine.

Comment:
Case not only appear wonderful but it definitely keeps every thing cool. Plus it has a lot of room. None yet. Adore it

Comment:
This case is fantastic. It is extremely incredibly simple to get about inside. It is also really simple to configure the case to meet the mounting needs of your equipment. Moving the fans around let me put cool air on the proper spots, fit in a huge CPU heat sink, and have plenty of room to run cables. I'm glad I sprung for this case. The built quality is wonderful. It comes with (pretty significantly) sufficient hardware to get you rolling. If you decide to mount a lot of drives, you may well need to get some screws unless your drives come with screws as nicely. None genuinely, just improvement suggestions (below) for the second revision I'm positive Antec is working on. Improvement ideas for Antec:- Include some far more 5.25 bay rails and some three.5 adapters. I didn't really like the AirMount stuff. The information and energy cables are creating my drives pop wheelies. I'd rather challenging mount the drives to the case. Consist of rubber stabilizers if you're concerned about vibration damage or noise.- Make the side panels modular for even a lot more exact cooling fan placement.-Headphone/microphone jacks on the front feel affordable and require an upgrade. When I plug in my headset, the connectors don't actually slide and click very easily like they do with other units.-Incorporate some slim fans please. I had to move one of the side fans due to the fact there wasn't sufficient room with a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ CPU cooler installed.-Consist of +/- symbols on all of the front panel connectors (most already have it). I had to flip the H.D. activity light connector.-Make a full size version please.-The rear fan has a nice mounting hole for the speed switch. Please include some for sides fans

super easy to work on! all of the panels come off of the case like the video shows. all of the fans and room for far more fans maintain everything cooler than a regular case. the HD holders appear a little inexpensive bc there suspension in air by a piece of rubber tubing but there a life saver! dont pay attention to the poor reviews they don't know what they are talking about

It holds my parts. The "floating" difficult drives was an fascinating notion. Hate it. I'm extremely interested in cable management and generating the inside of a case appear really clean and this case provides virtually no capability to do that. It is supposed to be "completely modular" but I didn't discover any part of it to be effectively modular. I certainly hate the floating challenging drives method as it did not lessen the noise (as advertised) at all and the drives are literally suspended by a sort of elastic rubber cord. It is really messy seeking and is a discomfort to get set up. I also do not like the sound produced by the fans which are required to obtain this new "positive pressure" airflow design. There are several plastic parts of this case that I assumed would be metal. It also does not have all the important mounts for mainboards and thus is somewhat limited in mainboard compatibility. I compare employing this case to just jamming all my parts into a cube of jello. There is nothing sturdy or secure about it. It wiggles if you bump it and usually seems as if it could collapse at any moment Possibly other people would get pleasure from it. I hate it.

Fantastic Case, all of the fans included are incredibly high excellent. I've utilized about every single feature on the Case. I've had to switch the Motherboard and PSU mounts twice and have to say it's by far my preferred feature of the case. The case is a breeze to work with as it's the most open case on the marketplace to create in.The blue glow is gorgeous and considering that i have it set up in a hot upstairs room the improved cooling is genuinely impressive. I've put two distinct machines in this case it was nearly flawless for each. Included cable ties had been nice. The backpannel on the motherboard tray is a real pain. It doesn't lock down properly though the motherboard is resting on it's back in the course of a build you have to stand the tray vertically to put it on or you risk unseating Expansion cards. I located this out the challenging way and believed my GPU died. This is a feature that actually requirements to be fixed the back really should screw on to the motherboard tray if it's going to be removable. This is the major reason i deducted a star.The frontpannel connector wires should have either been run down the side of the case or sleeved, they appear bad, i had to sleeve them myself, they come down from fundamentally the best center and fairly significantly ruin most wiring jobs due to the fact of it.The front pannel USB 3. ought to be some type of joke that case manufacturers are playing on us right now, I have headers for USB 3. on my motherboard as do most people creating greater end computers, this cable ought to have at least provided two alternatives for this rather of just one. Cable management in this case is achievable but it'll in no way appear very clean sufficient, but that's some thing most men and women know going in, and i'm satisfied with how mine looks immediately after tinkering with it.The possitive airflow is a great concept nonetheless you require to make sure that your CPU cooler is facing the right direction otherwise this is all pointless.Regardless of a lot of people today's concerns this is the least dusty case i've ever owned thanks to the positive airflow. I will be equipping much more fans in the case on the other hand Dust only builds up on the fan grills which is to be expected.Overall i'm satisfied and my few Gripes don't justify more than a 1 star deductionSpecs: Intel Core i7-950 three.06GhzAsus Sabertooth X586GB G.skill DDR3 RAMAsus GTX 460 768MB DDR5Antec Truepower 650WATTSCoolermaster Hyper n-520 CPU Cooler.

-Great overall case-Plenty of room-Modular capacity is wonderful for anyone who likes to mix it up.-Cooling is great-Uncomplicated to work on There are a couple of complications i have had with this case, absolutely nothing to take an egg off for, but just a few annoyances. -Taking the doors off can be a pain, too a lot of screws.-Cable management for HDD and optical drives is very difficult to do-Despite advertisements it attracts a lot of dust Though I may well have listed a lot of cons, this case is utterly amazing. I go to LAN parties often and the function of this case has been awesome and it is incredibly simple to transport. With Antec you in no way can go wrong. This is an investment work creating if you want a nice LAN case.
