The case is quite a stylish size, shape and colour. The first time I felt the case it felt very high quality and sturdy.

The side panels are both made of thick metal, no tacky plastic here – as is the rest of the case. However, the front panel surround is plastic but this is very thick higher quality plastic.

The metal appears to be sprayed with a black paint, as the finish is rough and bumpy – an orange peel effect. This seems to be the norm for cheaper gaming cases.

The main access side panel features a vent behind the panel where a 120mm fan can be installed, unfortunately this isn’t supplied. However there are 2 fans installed 1x140mm top exhaust and 1x120mm rear exhaust. Both of the installed fans are speed controllable via a 3-speed selector switch.

The front panel of the case has space for 2x120mm fans, these not included but this is a budget case and most users will likely replace them with silent fans if they were included.

At the top of the front panel there is the usual power switch, reset switch, HD audio ports and two USB ports. It would have been nice for Antec to add an E-Sata port for faster data transfer speeds with external hard drives. Oddly, the plastic on the front panel isn’t the same colour as the rest of the case as it’s more of a dark silvery grey than black.

The rear of the case features a bottom mounted placement for a PSU, this placement is becoming increasingly popular as they put less strain on the case.

The case is not predrilled for water-cooling unlike many cases nowadays, so any gamers and overclockers alike who’d like to use water cooling had better steer clear unless they want to drill holes in this case.

The rear of the case also has some low-profile screws to attach the side panels; I quite like these as it means I can push my case right back up against the wall.

The rear also features a metal loophole, you can add a lock here to stop nasty thieves from stealing parts from your system at large LAN events.
