Antec's thoughtfully-designed case brings you not only top performance but unique style, with its striking gun metal stainless steel exterior. The interior features a separate lower chamber with its own 120 mm TriCool fan, to house your power supply (purchased separately), isolating heat, and reducing system noise. The upper chamber comes standard with rear and top 120 mm TriCool fans, and spaces for an optional front 120 mm fan, and a middle 120 mm fan to cool your VGA. The three-layer side panel and front door stifle system noise, and the door opens 270-degrees for easy access.

Front-mounted ports give you easy access to two USB 2.0 connectors, one IEEE 1394 connector, and audio jacks. Rear panel features external controls for the fans in the upper chamber.

You'll have all the room you need to build your dream system, with bays for four 5.25" external, one 3.5" external and six 3.5" INternal drives. There's space for an ATX motherboard up to 12"(W) x 9.6"(L), seven expansion slots, and rubber-grommeted mounts on the rear of the case for an optional external liquid-cooling system. The built-in cable organizer behind motherboard tray keeps your cables under control. This glossy case has everything you need to build your white hot gaming system!

4 out of 5 eggsGood Case

Pros: This is a very well made product. It's sturdy as hell and is very nice to look at. All of the little additions that come with the case help to make future maintenance a joy, especially the dust pre-filters. I was so thrilled to see that the motherboard standoffs were already pre-installed. The thick steel case remains cool to the touch, even in a warm environment. The air really moves through this machine, keeping everything nice and cool.

Cons: The stock case fans are loud. You may want to consider a third party option.

Other Thoughts: This case is not an option for 3-way-SLI mode using high end cards. There just won't be enough room. Then again, what gamer would pick this case.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat case

Pros: I actually bought this from fries (lol newegg) for 100$ lol.

Great case, lots of room, doors are rubbery and steel, great sound insulation. Lots of room to work with, I put fans usually on low, maybe the rear fan on medium.

Lots of places for hard drives, I have 6, so it did that well.

Cons: Door hinges are very weak, mine broke. So now the door can fall off... I am not sure why they didn't use metal like my old cooler master 830 case. Very stupid, but it still works. Very sturdy case other than that.

Other Thoughts: Great case, AWESOME looks.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat case

Pros: Stylish
Extremely quiet with fans set to low
Vents on the front are filtered
Very high quality construction
Easy access to all components

Cons: Somewhat cramped for its size
Minor fit and finish issues

Other Thoughts: Overall this case is fantastic. It's (significantly) quieter than my DVR, airflow is quite good, construction is top-notch and the layout makes everything easily accessible. However, it could stand to be about one inch longer to account for large graphics cards; my GTX285 fits, but only there is no hard drive in the upper slot of the drive cassette. Fit and finish issues exist as well, mostly due to poor quality adhesive. So far I've had to glue two of the silicon feet and one of the door magnets back on because the adhesive failed, and I've only had the case for one month.

Were the case one inch longer I'd have given it 5 eggs; the adhesive is a very minor complaint, but I expect components to fit in a case this large without much fuss. That aside, I'm ecstatic about this case and would absolutely buy another.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Large case, sturdy construction, very quiet, ability to route cables on the back side of the motherboard, washable air filter.

Cons: The access door to route the cables from the power supply was too close to the PCI ports on my motherboard so I had to do some modification to the case in that area to make the cables fit.

Other Thoughts: If the PCI card I had placed in the slot next (3 slots up) to the power supply compartment door had been smaller it may have fit, but the 16 input video capture card I installed was a full profile card and made it pretty hard to find a good way to route the power cables. If you use more normal sized PCI cards you might not have a problem.

5 out of 5 eggsLovely case

Pros: I love it simply because of its layout, with the PSU being on the bottom and the trays for your various drives. One nice touch is one of the pull out trays has a small container attached to it that you can put in extra parts. The stock fans are not amazing but they do the job though they do have speed settings, there is no reason for them not to be set to High. Its quiet and not visually distracting, lots of cases have windows and lights and all this flashy stuff, this does not.

I have had to move this case tons of times, and it is heavy but very easy to get a hold of (atleast for me).

Cons: The front door is flimsy, and can be annoying if you have to keep it open to do CD swapping or need to be constantly turning it back on while doing work on it, etc. It also includes a lock which is pointless because you can easily pry the door back to turn the computer on if you wanted to. I am not sure if it is just my room but my case fans collect A LOT of dust, I find myself cleaning the front fans about every other week of dust.

Other Thoughts: This was my first case for my first computer I built all by myself and it has a great layout. Does require some good cable management, you will find yourself having to re think some things and stretching some wires around but it all works in the end.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Plenty of room for drives and fans. Keeps noise levels to a reasonable level. Looks nice, nothing flashy. Nice finish.

Cons: There is VERY little room for the power supply. Be careful with this. The power supply goes on the bottom and right behind it is a fan. If your power supply isnt the shortest possible you can get, then it will either not fit (because of the fan behind it) or it will brush up against it and cause the fan to not spin. This is very limiting because the more high performance power supplies are larger. You can remove the fan, but that still only gives you another inch of space and we all know how rowdy power supply cables can get. I had to use a lot of force to push and pull those cables through the tiny hole in the case to get it into the main compartment.

Another thing: the power on button in the front keep getting pulled out by the magnet on the front door of the case.

5 out of 5 eggsoutstanding case

Pros: VERY quiet, esp. with good fans. Stylish. Outstanding fit and finish. Excellent provisions for cable routing. The separate enclosure for the power supply (on bottom) really helps. It's easy to keep things cool. Removable filter panels are simple to clean.

Cons: The fans are cheap for what you pay, not 4-wire (PWM). I took them out and put in nice PWM fans for mobo control. This probably contributes to the quietness (it is uncanny quiet)

Other Thoughts: For best cable routing (putting main mobo cables behind the right cover), you will need two extensions for most power supplies to reach. So happy with it I want to build a mini-tower using the similar P180, but can't find one.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome

Pros: Absolutely beautiful case - I don't think I've seen one that looks nearly as good as this, ever. And it's definitely a solid case too - the cold rolled steel looks and feels extremely well made.
HUGE amounts of space - this thing is (in my opinion) gigantic.
Lots of fans, which keep things very cool, and they aren't very loud (I can't hear them over my air conditioner :P)
The front door is a genius idea - it even has a key lock! I can bet a lot of designing thought was put into this case and it shows - very worth the (pretty high) price tag.

Cons: I honestly can't think of one problem with this case other than how much space it has - make sure your cables are long enough.

Other Thoughts: I don't think I've ever seen a computer case this large in my life. This thing is gargantuan, just absolutely huge. Compared to my previous case, it actually isn't that large (standard mid tower case size), but it just appears to be so HUGE...

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Major upgrade from my old case. This case is loaded with flexibility and options from routing power connections to having plenty of room for add-ons and airflow! Comes with three 120mm adjustable airflow fans. Two pull out trays for HDD. Bottom tray mounts 4 HDD's vertically. Liquid cooling ready! No obtrusive and blinding LED's! Stylish and classy!

Cons: There is more plastic than I expected. (case is still really heavy) Door locking mechanism placement undermines the whole point. Does not fit larger higher end graphics card without modification (Antec states this on their web site).

Other Thoughts: This case is teetering on the line of "mid" size. It's huge really. If you move your set-up around a lot you may want to reconsider. It's tall and heavy. If you want tons of customization and plenty of room then this is a great buy!

5 out of 5 eggsSLICK CASE

Pros: This is a great case for air flow without the gamer look. Lots of room to work in with hot swap. Even with 4 120mm tri cool fans and a huge v8 cpu fan its still pretty quiet from the insulated panels. No problems running cables and looks awesome.

Cons: The lower chamber fan can only be mounted in the middle between the psu and hardrives, wish it could mount in the front of the drives, but it still provides great air flow

Other Thoughts: Go Yankees
