ULTIMA RAPTOR TO FEATURE THE NEW ANTEC DARK FLEET CASE

[widdyst]

A classy case that is not . But it does have some excellent features, hot swaps, washable filters etc and it is considerably cheaper than your equivalent featured silverstone, lian li etc . Is it not
But bloody hell only 7 expansion bays why not just do 10 so at least you have the option of tri sli and the like

 

[JediFragger]

I don't think the case is so bad, but it's a bit wrong to default it to a 5570 in order to keep it under a grand

Switch the default to something halfway-decent, like the 5830 and it'll be a more balanced system.

Then at *least* it'll be able to justify its listing in the 'Pro Gamer' section

I like the specs but the case just does not do anything for me at all.

 

[PraxxtorCruel]

That case is magnificent.

Antec was sick of being copied by everyone, I like to see them copy this now .

Agreed!

Admit the case doesn't quite have the classy looks of a Lian-Li... but bloody hell I bet it gets good airflow:

Three filtered front 120mm 3-speed fans
Two top 140mm exhausts with speed controller
Two rear 120mm exhausts with speed controller
Optional side 120mm fan
Plus the PSU exhausting air of course

For a max of 9 fans all 120mm or above.

Any more fans and you'd have to tie it down to stop it hovering.

Are OCuK gonna stock the case separately?

I would much rather keep my components on my motherboard box.

Change the case to a HAFx and you got yourself a winner

 

[Gundog48]

Looks like Optimus Prime's turd.

Sweet AMD spec though.

Too true. The In Win Maelstrom is so much nicer... i kid!

They bench it against a piece of S****! case which seems to have no airflow, at least bench against a 1200. :/

Never the less I perfer the look of a case to its performance since I'm going to have to look at it everyday

I benched that

Most sites dont go as far as comparison and I had no intention to but did. It had 4 fan in total installed so it isn't ****e. FYI that case retails for around £90.

I'd much rather see it against a 1200 since that's its predecessor.

Quite difficult, one man show here. But ofcourse as we expand we will have more data to compare against!

I have to say, I would not squeeze out a poo in that case even if asked. Then again, I do have a Coolermaster HAF 932 so I can't talk =(
