Antec 600

It's bad, but some people (read younger people) like their designs. They have certainly gone down a notch in my book, and I have 3 Antec cases at the moment!
 
IMO, if younger people want design, I think they should buy a Dremel and start modding their cases to look "different".
 
Why bother if you like the look of one of the cases already? When I was younger I would have just made a mess of it with a dremel.
 
Good point. But I think any one who wants to make their case look unique would read up on it (eg. 'How to...') and actually plan it out.
 
im 14 and i think that is disgusting, i wouldn't have that even if i wa given or even payed to.
im thinkin of getting a 932 and im going to mod the windows into one maybe and repray the hole thing(drill rivets ect)
im not too keen on the haf on the side so thats going:)
i dont even know why they are making that:mad:
 
holy crap, im sure i seen 10 in stock about a week ago now its on pre order? I WANNA SEE PICCYS OF BUILDS D:
 
I personally just dont get where Antec are trying to go with their range of Cases, The 1200 and the 902 as gaming cases I understand, the 300, 200 & 600 I just see as poinltess entries in the budget section with maybe the exception of the 300 but even that, when you have added multiple new fans the price jumps up considerably....

You then get the more conservative yet still stylish looking cases such as the Sonata III which at the almost identical price as the 902 offers very little in the way of features and performance.

Personally I feel Antec need to take a step back and have a good and proper re think at what there core values and dreams are as otherwise its a case of them peaking after the 1200. This would be very sad for a company capable of such great work when it wants!
 
Price seems to high for that case.To me this looks like a sub £50 case.
Plus at that price point you would be better off getting the lancool k-62.Same sort of features well made and looks good imho ;)
 
Wear's thin as you get older but most of us were there at one point, it's like the first car syndrome for quite a lot of us, we all laugh as we look back though lol

Vinni3 wins this argument IMO.
alexhull24, if you would have made a mess of it then so be it.
A case that's different/modded should be representative of an individual's skill, not how big their wallet (or dad's wallet) is.

Gone is the day when a bit of plexy, some fibre-glass matting and filler could transform a case both for performance and aesthetics, now it's all about who does best cooling or noise control out of the box.

Cheap cases dont get a look in anymore, and thats a shame, people slate the A300 and I've no idea why! It's a great blank canvas, perfect for making your own box of tricks look the way YOU would make it.
What happened to DIY? Where has our individuality gone?
We've been spoon-fed eyecandy for so long that imagination has no part in proceedings any more, the exception to this being scratch builders and the likes of Bill Owen from across the pond.

If you can't mod a case then I dont think it should be up to case manufacturers to produce monstrosities like that bat-man head looking POS, or the A600 in question. Not only does it blunt our imaginations, but it besmerches the manufacturers reputation too! This thread is here to slate antec.

My point is simple if you can't use a dremel to make a case your own, then learn. Don't expect a manufacturer to get it right for you, becuase they will NEVER get it perfect, so dont expect it.

Learn to use your hands folks. Day-to-day tasks around your home become easier, and problem solving using 'bits-n-bobs you had around' becomes easier too. Practice makes perfect, so just try it on a £15 e-bargain first.
You might better antec at the very worst! :D
