Cons:
None I can think of.
Pros: Nice looking. Fairly cheap. 2 x 120 mm low noise Fans. Comment:
Bought it for a friend's build. This case is huge! The height allows for a normal size graphic card if needed. Even a bit too deep, but that's my problem. The case is easy to setup and really quiet. PSU cables are long enough. The dual 120mm fans make it quite well ventilated for a HTPC. |

Cons: none so far
Pros: Attractive enclosure. Full size expansion cards. Comment:
This worked out as a quiet and good looking media center. Well thought out design and a pretty good price for the category. I wish there was room for more than 2 3.5 inch drives without using up the 5.25 inch bays though. |

Cons: weight
Pros: Very good vibration dampening, excellent build quality Comment:
This case is honestly a very nice case to work with. No sharp edges, decent cable routing capabilities, comes with a decent power supply.Where it really shines though is in the noise level it puts off! Everything is rubberized in this case to minimize vibrations. It sits on 4 soft rubber feet, it has rubber stoppers pressing on the top panel to deaded vibration, the hard drives are mounted on rubber grommets and have rubberized guides, and it comes with 2 120mm tri-cool fans.I used this case for a HTPC build, and I have to say I'll use it again!My Wii makes more noise than this system when its on! |

Cons: Front panel a bit boring looking and scratches easily. Silver colour, had to paint my 5.25 Blu-ray and sata swap mount silver to match. Does end up looking like a stereo component.
Pros: Great structural build quality, drives rubber mounted, good cooling, plenty of room for CPU fan Comment:
This is one of the nicest cases that I have ever worked with. The contents have been swapped several times now and I will keep this case as long as I can. Though a bit cramped, easy to work with and no worries of cutting hands, etc. Holds only 2 hard drives, but I put a hot swap raw sata drive bay in the second 5 1/4 bay that now gives me unlimited capacity. Power supply seems to handle it all with no complaint.Put in a fanless video card and you have a nice, quiet HTPC.Everything in it speaks of quality, fans, wiring and drive mounts. |

Cons: Maybe a slightly higher wattage PSU? Not a huge con though.No included 5.25" drive bay cover - The newer (albeit more expensive) Antec Fusion has stealthed drive bay as well as an included LCD display...Not worth the extra dough IMO
Pros: Great cable managementSlick exterior designGood airflow Comment:
This is an awesome case for a mATX or smaller build. I'm particularly using this for an HTPC build. The cable management is awesome and allows a lot of headroom when organizing cable runs within the case. Each chamber houses a seperate component (hdd, psu, mainboard), keeping everything nice and cool. The included TriCool fans work really well and can be used for near-silence low rpm, high-performance high rpm or a mix of both at medium rpm, thanks to the 3 speed control switch. The included power supply will do for those using integrated graphics and only a few drives so that may be a selling point to some. Me in particular only have a single DVD drive and HDD so the power supply is more than sufficient for my needs. All in all, an excellent and (as said previously) well-thought out case.

Cons: Switch wires just barely reach pins with my itx board
Pros: QuietIncludes Power supplySeperate chambers for mobo, hdd, optical drives2 120mm fans included Comment:
Excellent case, well thought out and very quiet. I dig the three chambered design. Very easy cable management. Only beef is that the switch wires are very tight, almost thought it wouldn't reach. Other than that, you can't go wrong with this antec case |
I bought this case about a year ago. It's extremely high quality. There is excellent cable management. The power supply it comes with is high quality as well. There's enough space to put a video card into it. It has excellent cooling by default.
