Overview
Building a show system starts with the glass here: seamless tempered panels wrap the front and side of this Antec mid-tower, with a dual-chamber layout and a top-mounted power supply. Seven ARGB fans arrive fitted, run from a built-in ARGB and PWM controller.
A complete fan kit and controller out of the box means no extra fan purchases for a glass build that wants even lighting. Back-connect motherboard support moves the board connectors to the rear for a cleaner view. Clearance figures for graphics cards and CPU coolers are absent, which matters most in a case built for big hardware.
Who it's for
Builders planning a lit, glass-fronted system with liquid cooling get fans, controller and radiator room in one box. Anyone fitting a very long GPU or tall air cooler should wait until Antec publishes clearances.
Pros and cons
- Seven ARGB PWM fans preinstalled
- Built-in ARGB and PWM fan controller
- Supports back-connect motherboards
- Takes E-ATX through ITX boards
- GPU and CPU cooler clearance not listed
- Five internal bays limit drive count
- Power supply mounts on top only
- Heavy case to carry once built
Performance notes
Airflow depends on the reverse-blade fans moving air through the glass-walled main chamber, with the built-in controller handling fan speed and lighting together. Water cooling results hinge on where the radiator mounts, which the listing does not detail. Putting the power supply in its own chamber clears the main compartment for the board and graphics card.
