I pre-ordered this case, When receving the case, found out missing parts, bad QC,
some mobo standoff and one HD side bar missing, I called Amazon, they offer to take it back,
but the case is fine except the missing part, so I tried calling Antec, I am glad I did, I could speak to a representative in reasonable short time, very helpful and courteous, and I received the missing parts in the next few days,
excellent Antec customer service,
unlike Thermaltake, I purchased a Armor+ case, one rubber feet missing upon deliver, tried to contact them, Thermaltake never replied, so my Armor+ case still sitting on 3 rubber feet, although Armor+ is a great case even one feet short, but Thermaltake's customer service sucks, if anything missing on their product, there is no remedy, except returning to Amazon, Amazon is the best in taking care of problem.
After missing parts problem resolved promptly, I am extremely satisfied with Antec LanBoy, as well as Skeleton I purchase previously,
Antec has great customer service, and is trustworthy!

After being a PC user for more than 10 years I finally decided to take the plunge and build my first rig from scratch. The case is the last item I ordered from Amazon.com as planned. I already tested the system to be up and running before I put the components into the case. I also downloaded the installation manual from Antec's Web site before the case was delivered to familiarize myself with the procedures. I realized that there are almost endless possibilities with this case. To keep things easier for myself as a novice, I shot for the more 'conventional' set up. It took me a couple of hours to finish in the end. Some of that time was spent figuring out some nuts and bolts but generally the set up was straight forward. With all the excitement I managed to lose one of the pre-installed thumbscrews for a side panel. I meant to order a spare one from Antec via email and they sent me two for free. Hats off to the guys at Antec. I've been using the case ever since. Though I'm not a heavy gamer I pretty much have the PC on all the time when I'm home. It's working without a glitch and I don't reckon there's a problem with dust. Great product and service from Antec!

From installing the motherboard, to navigating a built pc, this case is a true joy to work with. Major awesome features:

1) Power supply slide out tray -- This made adding a power supply a ton easier and faster. And when the unit needs to be upgraded, it will be a snap.

2) Thumbscrews on everything -- Need to get access to a section in the case fast, this design makes it possible. Almost every screw that you will access can be manipulated with just your hands.

3) Lots of fans -- 15 possible 120mm fans!!! Whoa, this is some very serious cooling. The case comes with 5, and they are the two speed 120mm variety from Antec.

4) Straight path to the motherboard -- With this case you have direct, full access to the motherboard. No lips, sharp edges, or overhangs. The motherboard tray is removable but I doubt anyone will need it. Makes installing, or working with the components a snap.

5) Motherboard tray -- It has a hole in it! The spot where your proc will be mounted, there is a hole so that the dans will be able to cool the underside of your processor mount.

Bummer points:

a) Toolbox needs a real screwdriver to access it -- It fits snug, but when at a lan party, if not screwed in, you might loose it. These should be thumb screwed on.


Great case! Building this box to move around. So far love the handles, and how easy it is to work on the box. You won't be disappointed.

I'll ditto all the positive comments already posted. I really like the case. Lots of air circulation which some people would consider a negative if they're into the science of air flow in closed cases with fans. In my case, it's open and the fans keep the air moving over everything. I chose the Corsair H80 cooling, replacing the stock fan on the back with the fans and radiator from Corsair. Top mounts are great for an exhaust fan, but there's no grommet hole for the wires. I had to cut them and splice back once inside.

My negative? I want to mount more 5.25" devices on the front. There's room, but you need additional rails which have been out of stock from Antec (the only source) for months now. I might have to break down and have some made for me.

One of the best case i ever seen, it came whit all the stuff, the only problem it came broke in the front bottom corner, just whit a lil glue like new.. easy to use, very intuitive, can customize.. very recomment.

This case is just an awesome thing to look at. It only arrived yesterday so I haven't had a chance to build the computer yet but I can't wait. I'm a Prime member and chose the 2-day shipping but I got the tower the very next day. But my whole point of this review is to let any of you potential buyers out there that the reviewer that didn't receive his screws probably didn't know where to look. It took me a few hours before i realized the are in a little black plastic box hidden as part of the case. They are located on the front face of the tower way at the bottom, you have to take out 2 screws just to gain access to them.

If you decide to purchase this case you will not be disappointed.

The case is Awesome, the Customer service is Awesome, the packaging is awesome. I am Really happy about the decision I made by purchasing this case. I recomend this seller any time!!!.

The air flow in this case is superb, you can set up the case in the way you need or want for all of the peripherals you need or want to install.

This is probably the 20th or so case model I've worked with and it is by far the most flexible, feature complete and safe case I've used. Nearly no sharp edges, completely modular, space of SSDs, suspended hard disk mounts and enough room for huge graphics cards. Excellent product from a quality company.

This is a great case, there are a few things I would change, e.g. the orientation of the carrying handles, but as far as building a computer, this is great. I've never had such an easy time putting a computer together, the motherboard mount is on rails and slides right out the back of the case, as does the power supply mount. the power supply can be mounted at the bottom or the top simply by rearranging the rails.

On low the fans are quiet though it really makes a racket when they're all on high. I'm going to mount two more to help keep my CPU cool but my Phenom II 1090T is idling at 37C with all the fans on low and the stock heatsink.

This case is BIG, make sure you have a power supply with long enough cables or you're going to need extensions, I use a cooler master 800W silent pro gold. Cable management is a bit of an issue but I've got mine tied to the yellow beams reinforcing he case, it's not pretty but it works. And those pictures don't do the LED's justice.

...Then this is your case. I read a few reviews and also checked out the video reviews on youtube and such. Looked like an interesting design. I used to do a lot of lan parties and wish i had this case back in the day.

Large case with lots of airflow. Only downfall to this case, you can see EVERYTHING inside. If your a wire nazi, you may not really like the openness of this case.

I found the case easy to work with and really like the Black and Yellow color scheme.
