Antec Crown with internal pics!

Ace Modder · 12 Apr 2016 at 09:16

Hi guys.

Antec launched the Crown prototype at Cebit in Germany last month.

Feedback generally was positive. There was a lack of internal photo's showing the inside of the chassis.

Note the internal design may still be changed or improved, we are still working on it - anything you would like to see added/implemented?

remove curly BitFenix wings?

For some bizarre reason this case reminds me of this...

I like the internal layout but not the wings. If the wings were actually the feet (as it looks in shots from the top) it would be a lot nicer.

The "wings" are designed to maximise the light that is absorbed by the side panels, it makes the light bend into a strange angle by creating a temporal displacement field, this allows you to be able to see what is being displayed on your monitor more clearly. This results in better gaming skillz - especially on Quake 3 Team Arena (we haven't tested any other games yet).

It also makes your excel skillz legendary, giving excel the ability to forecast the data you are going to enter onto your spreadsheet - the answer to your data is 42. You now no longer need to do that spreadsheet so you can go back to playing Quake 3 Team Arena.

If you don't believe me, then just turn your PC off and go play outside, climb a tree or something

I was just thinking the same. The wings seem a very strange design idea to me.

We are going for something not just a square box, slightly more styled on this occasion

I like it. How's cooling gonna be - just one intake at the top rear?

not bad the power button is in a stupid place though. think if the case is on the floor.that will soon get very tiresome.
