Antec Super Lanboy Chassis

This case is strong, but...

Strengths: Light weight! Quiet: Its 2 large fans keep the temperatures cool despite playing games like FarCry or Unreal 2004 on an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. The internal 3.5 bays each slide out and have rubber rings.

Weakness: No lights in the rear fan, so you can't see inside at night without installing another light, despite the clear window.

This case is strong, but lightweight. The rubber rings on the internal bays keep the hard disk noise to a minimum. The fans are attached to the case with rubber and are very large but quiet. The look of the case is really nice. FIngerprints do not show up. I love the sliding storage bay. It slides out with a press to what looks like a large button, then the top slides off.

This case is strong, but lightweight. The rubber rings on the internal bays keep the hard disk noise to a minimum. The fans are attached to the case with rubber and are very large but quiet.

The look of the case is really nice. FIngerprints do not show up. I love the sliding storage bay. It slides out with a press to what looks like a large button, then the top slides off. It's really nicely done.

The front ports (2 USB, mic, sound) work perfectly. I can't believe that I got them to work on the first try. They are labelled slightly differently than my ASUS motherboard, but through careful reading and logic, I guessed right. Be sure to read both the case manual and MB manual when installing the 1st time.

At the time, Buy.com was the lowest price. I ordered Sunday, chose the cheapest shipping (7-10 days) and it came Tuesday.

Strengths: Light, easy to use (both initial assembly & day-to-day ops), decent ventilation, & very quiet!

Weakness: Side cover is sometimes difficult to get on & off

Overall, this is a great case. One of my primary requirements was this case had to mount into a Compaq rack, so I chose this case based on height, ventilation, and weight specs and not portability. I mounted this case horizontally using Compaq rails & it fit perfectly! Not exactly what Antec had in mind I suppose, but it works great for my needs. I've built dozens of PCs, using mostly cheaper...

I've built dozens of PCs, using mostly cheaper cases, and this was much easier to work with. No sharp edges, funky cable routing issues, or hardware mounting problems. The drive trays are a nice touch as well. Definitely recommend this product!

Strengths: Easily hide wires. Nice airflow.

Weakness: No power supply. Weak Fans.

I love this case. Its got a clear window on the side, it would be nice if there was a fan on it. Both the window side and the other side are removable. What is nice is on the left side you can hide all your cables and plug in your IDE cables so there not shown. The hard drives are screwed into a removable insert. And that snaps right into the drive bay. Also comes with a little tool box. Inside...

Strengths: Outstanding ventilation, Perfect size, Very stylish with a good finish.

Weakness: Rivets at joints are not tight enough, therefore the is weakness on the frame, no case speaker, an very tight front door.

It's a very nice case with a couple of details to be improve. The main issue is that the rivets that joint the box are not tight enough therfore you feel a little movement when manipulating the case. It needs a case speaker, also an asier front door hatch and if your overclocking a fan on top will be very efficient.

On the other hand it's a beutifull case with a perfect size not too big not too small with a very nice ventilation. Nice anodized silver finish with a very cool feature that i have not see an any other case wich is the front drawer for keeping parts. Also a carry strap for lan partys is included.
Defenely a case to buy again if improvements are made in the future.

Strengths: Very good design, liked the little tool box to be stored in the front. The hard drive rails made hard disk installation easy.

Weakness: Does not come with a power supply, so expect to add another $30-60 to add a good power supply.
