Antec’s Open-Air Skeleton is one such enclosure which is different from the rest. The Antec Skeleton is a stripped down version of a system case, consisting of only the core essentials of an enclosure – no side panels etc. As I’m sure you’re aware, this is quite a unique approach to a computer case and quite a risky move on Antec’s part.
