Antec is back at OcUK!

The C8 ARGB from Antec does offer 2 x 160mm x 35mm intake fans in the base, and a rear exhaust fan. So something no other brand does currently. It's nice to have options within the dual chamber fish-tank style case.

If you are unsure about Antec, kindly check out these reviews which show that we have great build quality and points out some of what our product offers.

And finally if you want an overview of our new FLUX and FLUX PRO, and our Performance 1 M (mini-ITX)

Do you see what I see? Loads of brands all competing, and offering something similiar with small variances.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Corsair 6500X Mid-Tower Dual Chamber PC Case – White CC-9011258-WW (SKU: CAS-CRS-01583) = £169.99
• 1 x Jonsbo TK-2 2.0 Midi-Tower, Tempered Glass - White (SKU: CAS-JON-01542) = £139.99
• 1 x Montech KING 95 Midi-Tower, Tempered Glass, ARGB - White (SKU: CAS-MON-01479) = £89.99
• 1 x NZXT H6 Flow RGB Mid-Tower Case - White (SKU: CAS-NZX-01112) = £109.99
• 1 x Aerocool Dryft v2 Midi-Tower ATX Case (SKU: CAS-AER-00608) = £59.99
• 1 x Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini Snow Edition Midi-Tower Tempered Glass - White (SKU: CA-78Z-LL) = £124.99
• 1 x Antec C8 ARGB Midi Tower - White (SKU: CAS-ATC-02733) = £129.95

It's a fair point, but also leads me to the question, why be a sheep?
If everyone's doing the same why don't I buy something like the Lian Li, which is a good name and they've been doing these type of cases for a while.

Can I ask the thinking behind 160mm fans? I don't see a lot of them on sale so might be hard to get replacements or get matching fans (if you don't want to use the default one (which I rarely end up doing as they rarely supply enough, like there positions for 9 fans and they supply 6))? I'm guessing you could also put 140mm fans there, but that would defeat the point of 160mm fans surely?

Also a more general question with those style of cases, how does the airflow work? It blows in from the side onto the glass panel on the other side? Blows in from the bottom and hits the GPU?

The build quality on my Perfomance 1 in white is amazing, really solid case. I’ve used a lot of cases and the little touches on this and the quality of the overall construction is really impressive. Just wish it had a solid rear panel not glass but that’s OK

Are any of these PSU’s going to be offered in white?

 

[Ace Modder]

I personally have the Performance 1 FT in black, and I agree with you on the quality of the case, it is outstanding and really is hard to describe how good it is in words without seeing it in real life.

As for PSU's, currently there are no plans for white. Maybe in the future it could be an option though.

 

[Claidheamh_Mor]

I picked the Antec: Performance 1 FT over the Fractal Torrent and many other cases.

It's been an excellent case for my 7800X3D/7900XT build.

Will you be getting the Flux cases in? The one with the wood around the front edges?

Now that's more my style. If I hadn't recently-ish bought a 5000D I'd be very tempted by that.

I aim to work with OCUK to get the FLUX & FLUX Pro models in, when the OCUK guys met with me at Computex, they were very interested in these models.

They are launching soon in the Europe market, so keep an eye out for them at OCUK.

Have to say some of the wood cases in black just look lovely, was thinking of building a pc or mini itx pc soon so will definitely consider some of these cases

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I got the black/wood flux here, as it fits in with the interior decoration. Wife is a lot more forgiving of this giant case being in the living room, as the previous ones I’ve had.

Dont know who makes antect power supplies now, but I am still using an Antec HCP 1200w pro power supply, bough from OCUK i think, that's 15 years old and still going strong, great power supply. If they made a 1600w would not hesitate to buy one. Their stuff is good quality, have many boxes of their screen cleaning wipes that I still use.

 

[El Jimben]

Great news, I loved my P182 back in the day.

Thanks for sharing this video - I came here to do that myself.

Even though I never owned one, I miss the days of Antec/Delta power supplies. Shame they no longer produce desktop units.

 

[Evilmethod666]

Do you have an ETA on the C8 Wood and I’m assuming it’s compatible with the ARGB vertical GPU mount?

Yes it is, and both are in stock with us in NL, Overclockers are sorting an order this week for it hopefully.

Does yours have the Tranquil or Storm case fans? I got the ARGB version with Tranquil fans and they emit a grinding sound. I decided to RMA the whole case over it and go with something else.

One of my favourite cases ever was an Antec case - The super lanboy!

Quite like the look of the C3 or C5 cases - will they fit the bigger RTX 4080 super? I have the Gigabyte gaming ve3rsion which is enormous?

Antec C3 will fit a max GPU Length of 415MM.



Antec C5 Below…



I have a Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT which is 320MM in the Antec C3 for reference.




ARGB has now been tamed to White or Yellow as an FYI
