I think I prefer the front look of the 932, but the rest looks good. But wow, awesome quad gpu support

when this comes out im hopeing to snap up a 932 for <£100. Or if this one comes at around £150 it would be perfect

Ouch, that is ugly!

EDIT: It gets worse!

Orcvader · 5 Mar 2010 at 23:03

OMG TOYBOX! Now where have I seen something like that before?

That photo is without any covers... Looks remarkably similar to the 932 with them on.

Shakeel · 5 Mar 2010 at 23:28

it looks ok

Antec also had the latest build of its long in production reimagined Lanboy chassis, this time appearing in a great looking burnt orange for its core frame work. The new Lanboy is still a bit too heavy on mesh, but we love the entirely modular idea behind case which allows you to entirely reconfigure the drive bay area on the case, as this is especially useful for enthusiasts who are always changing or upgrading their hardware. We can’t wait for Antec to sign off on it and strap our testing gear inside – hurry up please!

From what i read there are no covers, just modular mesh sections?

yaaaa, thats coverless, OFC it wouldn't look nice
IMO it looks like its built like a tank, I think its decent.

Will it support the EVGA 4 way Classified board with that many expansion slots

Sorry I thought that case was the HAFX rather than the Lanboy since it was in the HAFX thread... :rolleyes:

Tweaker · 6 Mar 2010 at 18:38

That is the new Lanboy from antec i think

My sincere apologies, i thought i was posting in the ****Ugliest case awards**** thread.

The lanboy case was also at the CeBIT 2010 show, sorry for going off topic. :/

looks a bit too much unless you are the mad military type and you paint it camo colours

VortX · 7 Mar 2010 at 10:14

I don't understand it tbh... they were boasting at Cebit that the HAF X can house up to 4 graphics cards in quad SLI... If you have enough money to go quad SLI wouldn't you buy a truely awesome and expensive case... not this? TBH this case wouldn't do a quad SLI system any justice? I think they both look cheap and ugly but that's my opinion lol

The really expensive cases though (tj07, 800D) generally are not good at cooling on air. You need a case like a HAF to keep 4 cards cool unless you go water.

Oh dear, looks like case design has taken a nose dive. The original HAF looked like it was designed by a blind person and this one's even worse.

But many Lian Li cases are brilliant for air cooling and they look a hell of a lot better and are built a lot better too. My point still stands, if you can afford a Quad SLI setup which would EASILY run into the 1000-2000 price range (for the graphics alone), then surely you can afford to watercool it too.

Sildeh · 7 Mar 2010 at 12:36

I think it looks pretty good tbh, better than the 932 at least
