shush, how else am I going to afford a new PC?;)

I'm waiting for the 1900 2. It'll probably have all the insides reworked I'd hope.

-edit- I'm a tortoise person personally.

It could have been awesome - just such bad use of the space and massively lacking in options / features.

I can see a lot of potential in the case but only if they spent a bit longer in the design offices.

I can see this case becoming like herpes, No one wants it but everyone's gonna get it at some point in their life ;)
 
The last case Antec did I liked and thought was innovative was the Tonka coloured Lanboy Air, however that was some time ago. Last one I purchased was a Super Lanboy. Since then, I've been using Coolermaster cases and I thought they were restrictive without a drill and cutting tool.
This case from Antec is purely a storage server build, that's it. Put a work station board in with a raid card or multi-port SATA/SAS card in, fill up with drives and make a NAS of it (good lord that sounded more like "an ass of it" in my head) tuck it away in a closest with power and be done with it.
Fan support and rad support are the main features on big cases these days and this is from a company that was once at the front (or close to) of the gaming case market so what happened?

One the other hand, Tom I love the new award!

Very well said, I had an Antec 1200 when they first came out and I modded it and it was generally a pleasure to work with even without modding but this looks like they went back a few steps and to me anyway looks like it was never finished and was rushed out of the design offices.

I strongly think this has something to do with shareholders wanting more profit ergo shove an unfinished product out ahead of schedule, It's the only logical reason why they would release what appears to be a half arsed attempt.
 
I still wonder how antec still gives you review samples after all the "plasticy" and "tacky" comments you give their products.....

Would be even worse for them if OC3D publicly announced that Antec weren't confident enough in their products to send over a review unit.
 
The build quality is terrible. WC support is horrendous.

Probably another couple of years before Tom gets another Antec case for review.
 
Wow what a shame, I happen to think she is quite the looker.

Ended up being a gall with large breast, big booty, Beautiful face. But unfortunately also comes with Brown crooked teeth, bad gas and a bad attitude. Maybe or maybe not a penis as well.

Buy switch 810 its so much better and cheaper. Though to be fair ever since I started watching toms reviews he recommends have always been good when did buy them so he knows what he is talking about.
 
Subjective? We do of course mean Objective. Write drunk, edit sober. Guess we should have waited longer in the morning.

The real shame is that for the sake of a little bit more thought this case could have been so much better.
 
I haven't built a rig since 2006, and even then this would be a terrible option at an obscene price. I used to think Antec was pretty good but if this is what their new stuff looks like it a huge letdown.

Sort of the same boat as you but more so case wise as internals, I was totally in love my the "Silverstone Raven RV01" from February 2009 and no case won me over until I saw the 540 !

All I can say is, Go Corsair, The 540 is the first Corsair case I've owned and I usually don't go for "Cube" style cases but it fits everything in, You don't even need to try and make it look clean thanks to all the cable management/grommets it pretty much does it itself ^_^

If you want a new case, 540, It oozes with Quality, You will love it :)
