Saw that a few days ago.

I dont like it.

Seems like a huge price for a single massive fan blowing at a motherboard tray...

One way to screw up your PC within 3 days of building it... buy an open air case. Drinks etc will just love it.

Seriously though... wtf. I can see it being only of use to benchers or people who change hardware VERY regularly.

bet that gets dusty

Azza · 12 Sep 2008 at 22:08

Expensive pile of plastic.

MikeHunt79 · 12 Sep 2008 at 22:14

Won't it be noisey?

Natima · 12 Sep 2008 at 22:27

Larger fan = Lower Frequency (Hz) = Quieter
Larger fan = Higher CFM

Also, Surely you could use some kind of mesh to cover the spaces and it'd be a lovely cool'n'quiet case that isnt too prone to dust

dont mean to be dull or anything but it looks abit boring, nothing special about it. looks cheap and nasty even tho its 150 quid.

not a fan of it.

As if they included an e-SATA port on it LOL whats the point!

The Antec Skeleton is a truly revolutionary enclosure. With a unique design that allows for unprecedented airflow

Unique design my arse, its basically one of those small bench style setups that lets you hook everything up and test before putting the components into a case. But "oooh" with a fan gaffertaped on. :rolleyes:

I like it-would never pay more than about £50 for it though.

Vegeta · 13 Sep 2008 at 03:52

Very overpriced - simple because its different - needs a mesh design or something totally open like that your components will look rubbish.

Wedge · 13 Sep 2008 at 16:52

Not one positive lol, i like most just think its a bit pointless...sorry.

Monkey Puzzle · 13 Sep 2008 at 16:59

Looks horribly tacky, doesn't look very convenient to swap components, it's overpriced and doesn't have space for radiators.

XeNoN89 · 13 Sep 2008 at 19:39

Would look a lot better if it had mesh around it, it also seem expensive for what it is.

Roll · 13 Sep 2008 at 19:59

Oh dear I must be one of the very few people who actually quite like the idea of the Skeleton.

Granted it's overpriced and certainly not practical for the majority of mainstream users, but Antec must think theres a market for it out there.
