Did this just pass me by or everyone?

Antec has released a special edition white Skeleton back in January. Not listed on their site, but posted on a few tech sites (though no really major ones, besides He...), and available at a certain German retailer best known for their cases. Here is a pic, because it's a little difficult to find non-watermarked pictures...:

100 EUR on 'that German shop' vs 150 EUR for the normal one. That's one of the reasons it caught my eye...

case manufacturers go to great lengths to reduce noise and stop dust from getting in to your system. unless this case was in a window to show off components its pretty rubbish really! will be loud and need constant cleaning aswell as all the messy wires on show

Its meant as a bench, testing, messing about with chassis. Its not really meant for 14/7 useage. Even so, it would still be quite easy to clean with a can of air!

A forum member, G-dubs has done some really nice mods with the skeleton. Obviously its not a case/chassis that everyone will love though.

14/7 usage? would you have to swap your stuff into another case for the extra 10 hours a day?

Like that I really fancy one

No, you have to sleep at some point . . . .

(Did I get away with that?)

Saw this new white case about a month back, really like the look of it (but then I would)

Re not for 24/7 usage (or 14/7) I've been running a Skelly as my everyday case for 2 years now and it's great. dust is not an issue as the big fan blows it all away. The picture below is taken after 2 years of running the Skelly. oh and before anyone says "ah yes but you can't water cool them"

Looks fantastic.
