--- Yewen Previews Antec Skeleton! ---

this case is UGLY

Bubo · 29 Oct 2008 at 13:21

I did at one point think about making a custom case out of an old style tv stand. You know the ones on castors with a low level video shelf and two metal arms to support the TV. I had one spare and looked at it one day and thought it would make a perfect two level horizontal mobo case, with mobo on top with a perpex shroud and everything else on the lower shelf. I was planning on going water cooling at that stage and thought having the rad/pump etc on the lower shelf with just the tubes going up would mean minimal clutter around the mobo. But in the end I couldn't be bothered and just modded my cheiftec dragon full tower.

Looks dreadful. Thanks for info though Yewen.

will this take big heatsinks? does it also take a full size motherboard?

it looks tiny

FreeStream · 29 Oct 2008 at 14:31

I like it for the epic cooling it would give...

But otherwise utterly awful :/

Haven't seen a better case than the Mac Pro yet tbh.

Kk,

Well, that was easily the longest, most in-depth argument I've ever had on the forums.

I won't say 'lets agree to disagree' because that is a cop-out. I'll simply end it by saying that I think I'm totally right about everything. :rolleyes:

In general, this is the truth.

My Mac Pro case has far better build quality than my £90 Lian Li V350B case.

Argument, naahhhh. We didn't use capitals often enough

Nice to have a decent debate from time to time

Does anyone have any reviews of this case where they've built a (high-end) system in it and compared temps to a similarly priced "normal" case?

The reviews I find seem to be people just looking at the case without putting any components into it.

Wait until tommorrow.

Will be comparing a "on desk" system to it being in a skeleton.

Or you can compare it to a system with chopsticks as legs and beer cans as heatsinks

,

And I'm glad some people liked the design of my case

will get more artistic pics in later

Davey D · 31 Oct 2008 at 10:21

That looks a bit... erm... different :S

Prophet · 31 Oct 2008 at 14:20

Got to love the two jokers who have reviewed the case already.

The Mac Pro cases cost around £200, not £90 and they'll only take a very limited selection of hardware. My V1200+ is very close in terms of build quality (better than your v350) and only cost me £70.

You need to compare other cases that are built for a specific task (not for any old components), for example the cast aluminium blackbird 002

IF true, what do you expect?

Mac Pros are what, 2+ grand? You can get an equivalent PC for <700 and put OS X on that too.

drak3 · 2 Nov 2008 at 12:46

Messy and complicated.

They need to think more...

alex24 · 2 Nov 2008 at 23:21

Would like to see some pics of this when Yewen has put some decent hardware in! I can imagine you'd only own this if you bench test a lot/think its awesomely cool looking.

Davy644 · 3 Nov 2008 at 11:30

Its very basic no nonsense design,with looks that will probably grow on me, I like it already

but not the price

Mr Kingston · 3 Nov 2008 at 14:09

that case is another piece of antec crappness , Plastic and looks ******* ugly to
