Am i mad? :D

I'm not that keen on that look, I don't like the whole military look thing. However, I can understand why some people would love it. It's got nice internals though. You gonna watercool?

Oh, and if it's a new system, don't forget a build log :D
 
Heh, I wasnt too sure on it at first but its' grown on me.

Not a new build sadly, the PSU in my trusty old Silentium case has finally started to die, and as its built in it means ditching the whole case/PSU combo.

Not too fussed on watercooling at the moment, I have a pretty quiet air setup and im not fussed on "extreme" overclocking, I tend to lag around 1 generation behind in hardware most of the time. Does look superb for cable routing though!

I'll post pics when it arrives.

Best bit is the girlfriend absolutely *hates* it :D
 
Its not my cup of tea tbh, i prefer a more nice sleeker and simple look of cases.

this. i was going to get the haf x because feature wise it's a great case but it's ******* awful to look at and i know i would end up getting rid of it so i went with the silverstone ft02b-w, for me it looks miles better:)

HOW much? :eek:

I remember when I used to be able to pick up a reasonable case for £20 or £30!
 
you like it, thats what matters

there are far worse cases to choose from.

as long as it suits your needs then good luck with the build. and post pics :)
 
I'm not convinced the cable management is all that actually. You have a small hole by the PSU for some of the cables to go through, and no real motherboard tray cut-outs, as seen (or not seen) in
this pic.


But, if you like it, that's the main thing. I'm pretty sure Antec aren't going to do something as stupid as produce a case no-one likes...

Right?

*Whispers* Lan Boy Air **

Oh. Nearly...
 
OP - your case looks pretty cool to be honest :)

Cheers!

As has been mentioned, I like it so thats the main thing. Just seems a little more 'interesting' than most fairly standard shaped/looking cases.

And the roof has a hot-swap 2.5" SSD bay - how cool is that? :cool:

Not massively fussed on how good/bad cable management is. My Silentium case has 0 cable management, and I even have a trusty IDE cable in there connected up to my old beige DVD burner.
I'm not tight in replacing it, its that this one doesnt make coasters, so I'm not inclined to change it!
(following a succession of CDRW drives that made backing data up a pointless exercise)

Pics will follow - Might make my fairly standard looking rig (by todays standards) look mightily unimpressive. :p
