This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Case arrived intact - very cool box. Mostly all assembled. Easy tray slides out for access to install MB and components. Power supply tray slides out.. nothing could have been easier setting this system up.

Used with EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard and dual EVGA 01G-P3-N959-TR GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Cards - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz

Runs very cool and the light show it puts out makes for some kewl patterns on the ceiling! Totally satisified with this purchase Newegg!!
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: surprisingly quiet with all the fans exposed

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: When buying this, I was afraid of a couple things: It's stability, sturdiness, and dust collection. I can't comment on the dust collection yet, BUT, the case is hardcore! It's sturdy, stable, and I no longer have anything to fear. The fan is quieter than it looks. You won't regret getting this case.
Cons: i do love this case, but it's not meant for the lazy simple builder. careful planning is required as well as good wire management to keep it cosmetically looking nice.

I love it

white Reviewed By: Comanche on 2/9/2010
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat low - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Looks great!
I love to play games. I wanted a gaming machine that would be a little different. I’ve never built a computer before so I don’t have a reference point. I think it was easy putting it together. I put a MSI790fx-GD70, AMD965, Crossfire 5770’s. It sits on my desk right next to me. The loudest part on the computer is the CPU cooler.
Cons: The top fan barely turns at all on the lowest setting. I keep it on the highest settings all the time.
Other Thoughts: All the motherboard bling, bling is in plain sight; Lots of cool little lights and dials to make you go oh, cool.

Love This Case

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Open Air design
Easy to switch equipment
Easy to clean
Cool running
Visual Appeal
Great Lighting
Cons: Cable management can be a pain - zip ties are your friends.
Front usb/firewire/audio/pwr/rst cables are too short to fully slide the motherboard out of the case without having to disconnect them.
Stabilizing bar in rear of case is clear plastic. I would have liked to have this part in metal.
Other Thoughts: This case is not for everone, but If you are looking for a case with a special look that works as advertised then you cannot go wrong with the Antec Skeleton.

Special consideration should be taken if you have small children or animals around your house. Since the case is open air, there is a risk of electric shock if little fingers go probing.

Pros: I really like the look of this case and how modular it all is to do the initial installation of all componets. Looks good keeps my hardware NICE and COLD and is a real center piece!
Cons: It is very hard to run wires and do cable managment but the effort is very well worth the return of a job well done!
Other Thoughts: I totally enjoy this case and it helps things run nice and cool! over clocking my video card and processor and no problems!
