Oh dear. <Facepalm>

I really dont care for the styling but some of the ideas are very neat. I rather hope some of them will find thier way into a new restrained 'P' series case (they really need an update to compeat with the Define-R2).

Also I've seen no one mention the new Cooler Master 690-II. Personaly I think is a great follow up to a already great case. Not too bland but not inyerfacen00b either.

It's not nearly as bad as that pile of garbage they did a while ago. I didn't even bother remembering the name. Some kind of skeleton infected tower :/

Those look functional in a military equipment case kind of way.

Antec should sell their design department to mine slaves as they're so good at digging deeper.

Must be some Looney Tunes military!
Real military equipment's design is all about functionality and simplicity, complex plastic crap and lights are antithesis of it.

you need to go to spec savers dude !

that is fugly beyond fugly.

Perhaps I used the wrong word, or perhaps not.

Remove military perhaps, still reminds me of a hard shell equioment travel case.

the 690 II advanced is one of the best case ive seen, combines excelent watercooling options and loads of great features like the gfx bracket
its so good im going to hopefully be one of the first to buy one from ocuk
(when they get them in ) or just know when they are getting them in

 

[Andy90]

Plastic looks incredibly cheap and tacky. As for design - if I were Antec I would sack my entire design department and start again.

 

[beefybarn]

Antec seem to have lost the plot totally...oh dear.

 

[EdGey]

ugly case is ugly.

 

[ripperOFflesh]

Thanks for providing some pictures but Cooler Master 690-II for me

 

[David41]

How can the designers at antec think that people will like these. Would have the 300 before any of those.

 

[alex24]

Very well designed cases with lots of features, but their looks are horrific. Really, I don't know what they were thinking.

100% agreed

 

[James Manns]

you would have thought in these times they would come up with some outstanding products to get more sales and there reputation back, but it seems they insist on making these strange looking cases which most people think look horrible :S
(cant see them lasting if they stay like this)

 

[MrMark]

Almost identical styling to the sole on my trainers!

100% agreed

100% disagree antec p193 still the daddy
