Antec has revolutionized computer cases with the uniquely designed Skeleton. The framework-only Skeleton lets you see all your components, showing off your skills at system building. You can directly install or change the computer components without interference from bulky panels.
The open air case allows unprecedented airflow. A front 92mm fan and a top three speed 250mm fan with multicolor LED customization let the Skeleton stay cool in the hottest conditions. Front-mounted ports give you easy access to an eSATA port, two USB 2.0 connectors, one IEEE 1394 connector, and audio jacks.
You'll have all the room you need to build your dream system in this case, with bays for two external 5.25" drives and two internal 3.5" drives. Plus, you can add 4 more 3.5" drives with the optional side panel mounted drive trays. There's space for a standard ATX motherboard, and eight expansion slots support multiple graphic card solutions, including NVIDIA 3-way SLI. This wonderful case has everything you need to build your white hot gaming system!

Great, Unique
- Pros: barely any generalized heat build up
most details were perfected but a few missed
- Cons: get to see all the details of internals including some not made to look at, annoying to wire through the bottom middle of the case
- Other Thoughts: keeps my Asus P6T deluxe v2 unmodded at 31C no load, and i was planning to get a waterblock for it :)
Take a second look
- Pros: Cooling is a big advantage with this case. I agree with the manufacturer that the downdraft cooling and open air design makes a big difference. I used a downdraft cpu sink and fan for my 1156 socket, and because of its open design you can reach in and touch the sink and feel very little heat if any. I have a mild overclock.
- Cons: Several things one must considered before using this case. These thing are not a negative for me. 1. cats could be a problem if they jump up and mess with you comp. 2. children could be at hazard for themselves and your equipment. and 3. spilling drinks in to your computer might not workout very well.
- Other Thoughts: I am very happy with this case for many reasons. I like the look and the ability to monitor dust buildup easily. Components look good, cooling is very good, love the led lighting, and its well built. Would recommend a modular power supply, I used a 1000 watt ultra modular PSU.
Skeleton Reflections
- Pros: Great eqyuipment accessability and a rather novel approach to computer component displaying and mounting. The fan is very quiet and moves a large volume of air. Big CPU heat sinks are probably not needed with this unit.
- Cons: All is OK thus far!!
- Other Thoughts: Before undertaking this project, it is important to think it through and have a plan in mind as to how you want to route your cables and mount equipment, etc.
