Antec Skeleton Chassis

It has finally arrived and I must say it is much more impressive than I was expecting. The box and unit is a decent size and the quality is your usual Antec affair.

This is just a quick preview and I will post more thoughts later as I have a million and one of these to ship out now!

The Antec Skeleton is a truly revolutionary enclosure. With a unique design that allows for unprecedented airflow, a front 92mm fan, and a top three speed 250mm fan with multicolor LED customization, the Skeleton goes utterly unmatched in stylish cooling. Factor in the layered component trays for top-notch convenience, as well as the rackmount quality side rails, and you have a case truly without equal.

Quite a special case this, much more than what I was expecting and cannot wait to get chance to put a full rig into one. Looks like it will be a joy to build in and with more features than what I have listed this is one killer case for people looking to bench / change hardware 4 times a day.

Other pictures I will get up shortly are the PSU tray and side mountable hard drive caddies.

We have these cases in stock now and all pre-orders are currently shipping with enough stock left over to cover a few more orders!

Check it out guys, something completely different and done to a high standard as you would expect from Antec. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-106-AN
