Launched today and stock lands next week with etailers. MSRP is £169.99 inc VAT. It ticks all the boxes for things people want.

And an eTeknix review.

Very nice looking case! Will look good with a few RGB fans aswell Definitely going to buy this I think

Glass panel behind the motherboard killed this case for me, reason why the Torrent (also too much plastic) and the Lancool 3 aren't for me.

It is interesting that Jayz2cents build is almost 100% the same as my own build, looks wise.
His build:

Here is my PC build in the case.

agree with above, not sure the glass back panel is needed, but a good looking case and seems to cram a lot of good features into it. I'm sure it will perform well also.

Lovely case this, Antec coming out with some good stuff finally.

Lovely case.

Would absolutely have gone for this had it been available 4 months ago when I grabbed my rig together, went with the Lancool III as it was the only one suitable for the PSU I had (fanless) and in stock at the time. Right now, this is on my next to grab list for the secondary system upgrade (although I haven't got a timeframe for that upgrade just yet).

Looks like something Al-Qaeda would fly a plane in to. :cry:

But seriously, it looks really nice.

Thanks all for the positive feedback, sales so far have been great in the UK. Let's hope OcUK also decide to stock this for you guys.

looks like a great case -

Ace Modder · 21 Apr 2023 at 15:45

It is great. I'm loving mine. The RTX4090 inside is also enjoyable.

What's the overall height?

52cm exactly, just checked with my tape measure :-)

thank you for this!

Ace Modder · 26 Apr 2023 at 15:27

No problem, OcUK are going to be stocking this very soon. :-)

Ace Modder · 22 May 2023 at 19:31

Sadly OCUK are not going to be stocking this now, a company group policy decision from Caseking now means they are not able to bring any Antec products to market for you guys.

It doesn't align with their company plans I guess. So if anybody wants this case, they will have to source it from another etailer I'm afraid.
Sorry all.

Make up your mind :cry:

Hey you guys!

The white version is coming.

The video launches at 6:45pm. The stock should be available from major etailers 2nd week of November. Sneeky price preview of under £160.

I think the black one looks unremarkable but I like the white. Could attach some panels to cover some or all of the motherboard side I suppose
