DF-85 Review - Cowcotland.com France
Aurelien highlights the impressive looks, the relatively low weight of the case, the good quality of the materials, the huge interior space, its cooling capabilities (they say it is one of the most efficient cooling they have seen so far), the sturdiness of the case, the Hot Swap system and the USB 3.0. He moderately criticizes the noise levels, the absence of an 3,5” adapter and of an anti-vibration system for HDD and the mounting screws which should be black in his opinion.
Overall, Aurelien’s criticism is not at harsh as we initially thought it would come out as – we managed to have him reconsider some of the issues he brought up before he was publishing it online. Plus he also praises that Antec has launched some new features with this case in this competitive market, without abandoning the high quality manufacturing and excellent materials that Antec is well-known for with all products.
“Antec est une marque qui a une image à cultiver et forcément, pour se démarquer de la concurrence, celle-ci est obligée de prendre quelques risques pour nous proposer quelque chose de différent ou de plus tranché, à vous de voir.” (…)
“Antec is a brand that has the image of cultivating and, in order to stay ahead of the competition, is willing to take the risk and present something completely different, as you will see. The DF-85 with it’s industrial design won’t leave you indifferent.” (…)
