Insufficient airflow for gaming
There wasn't enough airflow, which caused my graphics card to overheat and made even more noise in the end.
I had to change my case to avoid burning up my PC.

Extremely quiet.
Bought as a replacement for a coolermaster sniper. Really quiet day and night. Correctly supplied, but no more screws and bolts. Cm brackets are present.Review automatically translated -

Sober but not very functional for SSDs
sober design, rubber under the power supply, lined walls for soundproofing, 2 integrated fans.
The design is well thought out for the power supply, the clearance for the graphics card and the .35p HDD racks.
But the location of the 2.5p SSDs is vertical on the right-hand side, wedged between the lined wall and the chassis, leaving only 3cm for the sata cables to pass through...BOF! when there's a big gap on the other side...
Another point, the vibration of the front panel which generates a dull noise during operation, quite annoying. Problem corrected by wedging a piece of foam in between the chassis (should be done at the factory!)Review automatically translated -

Not good value for money.
If you choose liquid cooling for your processor of this type: Zalman Reserator5 Z24, I would advise against this tower.
You'll have to install the radiator on the front of the tower, and to facilitate air circulation, you'll have to rip out the sub-glass mesh filters to make it easier for air to get in (if you don't, expect your processor and graphics card to get very hot during long gaming sessions).
If you're installing a Sapphire PURE AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16GB, you'll need a pair of precision cutting pliers to cut away a metal part of the back of the case to prevent the HDMI connections from being damaged.
And last but not least, the holes for the MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 power supply cables and the sata connections on the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING card are borderline problematic if you want to have enough space in front of the installation for adequate air circulation.
All in all, a tower that's too expensive for its design/functionality in terms of system performance/accessibility.
All in all, a lot of disappointment for a basic design...Review automatically translated -

Antec... satisfaction...
Antec customer for over 20 years, I've used multiple boxes from this brand among others.
An efficient tour medium, but not without its faults, the main part of which has already been mentioned in other reviews.Review automatically translated -

Thank you
Order delivered on time (just enough time to assemble the PC), neatly packaged and easy to get up and running. Thanks to all.

Pleasantly surprised
I already own an Antec case that is more than 15 years old, and I am pleasantly surprised by the ergonomics of the current cases. Cables are routed under the chassis, which favours ventilation and makes the setup cleaner. One star less for the lack of the activity LED on the disks (I know it's maniacal :P), maybe a lesser quality of the case itself ?

antec
The case is sturdy, everything fits, the usb3, audio and power switch cables are long enough, the power supply case is well separated from the motherboard part, and there is a case for the ssd/DD. I'm fine with that.

Not so quiet
Case not as quiet as expected when the PC is running hard, but still practical, size a bit bigger than the pre-mounted PCs

antec housing
I bought this case to replace an old case that had no fan on the front, received well packed, ventilation impeccable, air circulates well and the two fans on the front and back are nice. Thank you LDLC

Case and motherboard
Hi all, be careful this case as I wrote before is not practical depending on the brand of your motherboard. I have tried to mount a msi edge ac and it is very risky because the sata connectors are all in abutment against the wall of the case in the acxe of the fan in front to locate. I have tried the equivalent at asus and the foot is the sata from 1 to 4 is on the ground side very well cleared so great we can consider this time this motherboard HDD and SDD in addition to a m2 .

Yes, but
It's very well finished, it's solid and classy. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a SSD or not, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a SSD or not. The only problem with this case is the poorly designed sata SSD space.
For all the rest it's ok.Review automatically translated -

ANTEC quality
Good value ANTEC, good case, very well thought out and with a good cooling thanks to its 2 original fans.
Thanks LDLC, delivery as usual.Review automatically translated -

Very good value for money
The case is beautifully finished overall and quite quiet; it allows for a rational arrangement of components with a reduced depth while offering sufficient width to install a fairly large cooling unit.

Good product, which corresponds to its price segment.
The insulating foams are not as acoustically efficient as expected, but they still do a good job.
On the cabling side, behind the motherboard, the space between the CM and the rear panel is a bit small, so if your power cables are big you have to force them a bit.
The HDD/CD mounting systems are convenient and easy.
For the price it is satisfactory.Review automatically translated -

Very good
Good looking tower, sober, discreet, quiet fans.
I confirm that the installation of HDDs requiring the opening of the other panel is not very practical, especially for the passage of cables.Review automatically translated -

Good product
Overall, we are dealing with a fairly solid and well ventilated metal tower: there are 2 quiet 120mm fans inside. Also, the cable management is quite well thought out.
I'm not very convinced by the noise reducing foam, we'll see with use.
One last point, don't rely on the manual to understand how to mount it, it's really badly done.Review automatically translated -

CLEAR
It is beautiful, sober, efficient, but I would have preferred a HDD management on the same side as the CM.
Indeed, same remark as Maxime, you need to open the 2 side panels to manage the installation of a HDD. Well ok, I'm quibbling a bit!

Great housing
I am very happy with this box. It is very quiet (after I started it I thought it was not on!).
However, there are a few things that can be complicated by the layout of the parts (I'm thinking of my SSD).
Despite these few practicality issues, it is an excellent value for money.

cool
My first tower, so I chose a discreet tower (no led) and sober.
I am delighted, it is beautiful, has 2 fans that I do not hear spinning, has on the side walls a kind of foam plate (I do not know the exact name), it makes the PC silent.
I like it.Review automatically translated -

A perfect case!
This enclosure is quite spacious, aesthetically pleasing and well insulated.
It has all the right features.
Even with a non-modular power supply the cable management is perfect!
The fact that the power supply, the SSD and the HDD can be inserted into the bays that are hidden at the back is really great.
Honestly, this case has all the makings of a "big one" (a top of the range one).
Moreover, it is really quiet (a TX3i on an i7-4770 with a GTX 660 DCUII I do not exceed 20dB) and it is very easy to mount a PC in it thanks to the many hand screws and screwless system provided (and the spacers are pre-installed for a "square" ATX motherboard à la SuperMicro C7Z87, which is very convenient!)
The only time you can see the budget cuts for not being twenty euros more is when you look a bit closer, the metal the case is made of doesn't seem to be super strong (it looks thin enough to be easily twisted by hand most of the time), but unless you carry it around it should be fine. And the PCI brackets are breakable, which also shows the relatively low-end side (but don't worry, there are enough spares in case of a configuration change to keep the case whole!)
Honestly, this is THE case you need for relatively low budget PCs!Review automatically translated
