ANTEC Skeleton - Open Air Case!

[dazzerd]

Me too I love it. No problem with dust really in fact surely there is less chance of dust gathering with a whopping fan blowing from the top.

Getting bored of w/c now so may well sell my kit and modded case and buy something this

Kids pets and girfriends should be banned/barred from going anywhere near a self built PC anyway

Only problem apart from the price, is whether or not you would get a big air cooler under the main fan housing looks a bit tight to me.

Think the word for this is functional, appeals to people like me who see a pc as a collection of components rather than an anodised box.

That wont stop dust. Also have to factor in when its off.

For me a case should cool and protect your components and this doesnt do the latter. So for that reason alone... i'm out.

the microcool banchetto is better imo

 

[lazyvulture]

This is meant for benchmarkers / those who want the best performance from their rig (and who will upgrade every time something new gets released).

It's more for convenience for swapping parts in and out quickly; rather than just for a general use case.

Aye not seen that before far more practical than the antec and looks a lot nicer too. More expensive as well as far as I can tell

What is this "off" you speak of?

LOL

its the worst possible combination, it looks cheap, but it isn't!

if you must have a bench table I think the dimas ones are much nicer.

 

[shaffaaf27]

i love the 250mm fan, if only they sold a 140/120mm version of it.

 

[bfar]

I wouldn't buy one myself, but it's nice to see a bit of innovation

 

[paulh]

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.

i like too!!! sorry...

I pictured myself as Peter Jones for that one, so well guessed

 

[BooshFan91]

very bizzare case, gotta be cool though i suppose

 

[Prophet]

Really poor design. Crap airflow has been compensated for by adding a huge fan that will IME do bugger all.

Obvisoluy aimed at people who think its 'cool' as any decent benchmarker either has a testbed or just keeps the side off their case.

Quite dangerous too. Is it EU approved?

 

[Phatzy]

while using the pc, you would know what gave you a electric shock

 

[TheRedZealot]

If i was going to get one of those (which i am not at all) iw ould get a mosquito net to put over it.

 

[AlexTrickle]

Thats a disaster waiting to happen if you buy that in all honesty.

 

[XeNoN89]

Cant see this case doing too well lol.

 

[Mrjobby]

Really like the case tbh, great idea for people who are constantly meddling with components.

However 150 quid is shocking, if it was half that it would still be overpriced.

 

[Prophet]

great idea for people who are constantly meddling with components.

Is it though? Sure you can see everything but getting to the components doesn't look as easy as with a standard case with the side off.

You're still going to have to move the large fan at the very least.

I can see a lot of inexperienced people thinking its fantstic until they buy one and realise any of the standard cases under half its price are actually more user friendly.

Total gimmick and nothing more.
