Definitely looks better than most of the recent antec cases! :cool:

Although the headphones, USB, power button etc. area looks a bit odd, could go with a more minimalistic cleaner look, just doesn't look right with the rest of the case imo.

What size of fans are those on the top and front?

Also, what sort of dimensions for the case?

Antec cases are fantastic, had a sonata 3, which I loved! My bro still has the P182 which is still really good. The only reason I haven't really looked at them in recent years is due to the design but this looks to be improving and with a price like that, it sounds/looks like a winner so far!

EDIT:

Also, I think the top would look FAR better if you have the same mesh grille look as the front.

That looks like a great case for the price point, a definite improvement over the 300. My main objection is the the blue LED fans but if you can turn them off it would be ok.

Right Ive had an update from my product development team. The strips at the top front that many of you are not keen on are not what you think.

The blue strip is actually just a LED light strip which lights up when the PC is powered on, and the red strip is actually a HDD activity LED light.
Of course these just can not be wired up if you don't want the lights on.

Can you dim them? I like having something like that but a dimmer switch would be cool

This is not an option AFAIK.

Easy to remove dust filters?

Is there one under the PSU area?

Nice case Ace, I can already see a few nice themed builds I can stick in this.

Will their be a windowed option?

I really like it. It's a shame that I just bought a new case for my rig otherwise this might have made my shortlist. Not sure about those fan controller switches though, they look a little cheap to me.

I LOVE IT!
I will be investing in this once avaliable!

The side panel, make it's flush and it doesn't protrude.

Don't forget this is a 3D computer render, not a final photo.

rofl didn't realise that - give the artist a raise

As long as they have the software and are experienced they can do that

Seems nice enough and it's good you don't have to have the lights on. I don't like the protrusion on the side panel. Prefer clean lines.

tamzzy · 30 Aug 2013 at 18:19

yea, ditto the side panels. should be flush rather than bulging out.
also dust filters for the front and top fan mounts.
the hdd cage should be removable and also be able to move backwards (to fit front rads)
the antec logo should possibly be moved to the bottom of the mesh?
is there a need for an external 3.5" bay?

Keep the buldge in the cable management side. It helps

Hyburnate · 30 Aug 2013 at 19:42

Could always make the case slightly wider, I'd prefer that personally.

Doomedspeed · 30 Aug 2013 at 20:08

Those weird looking lights are growing on me...

What filters are fitted?

By the looks of it, none or just none on the render.
