Legends remember the Antec P180/P190 - Antec used to make high end cases

[@GregSalazar]

😂

[@gssuper1438]

Antec 900 was legendary. imo

[@tomr3422]

Antec used to make a lot of great stuff. Some of the most reliable PSUs on the market at the time.

[@geesebamps]

These youngsters don't know!

[@auntmaryspals7978]

Agreed, not a budget brand back in the day.

[@Hinjima92]

This is the sexiest case I have ever seen. I was planning an NV7 or NV9 build early next year but nope. I NEED the Antec Flux Pro in my life, its just perfect.

[@Ladioz]

I WOOD not mind having that on my desk

[@Lurch-Bot]

Doesn't match the walnut veneer on the 60 year old dining table I use as a desk.

[@Ladioz]

I wish they had a smaller version with the same compound with the wood looks sick

They do. We mentioned it a bit later in the video. Just called the Flux.

That Case is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! & You Just Completed my Dream Build: All AMD!!! Thanks Greg!

[@EDV8ZR1]

Nice pun with the video title. Also the front case looks like a vintage speaker Grill.

[@Frobuzmumber]

Finally a case that fits my needs! I’m definitely getting one of these.

[@itsKtoday]

I bought a Antec case as my first pc case for my first custom build way back in 2006 it was very well made but they did not really think about it being built in. I can say watching this video that the quality is still there and now they have came along way to how you can build inside their cases. I will definitely keep them in mind in the future! Great video Greg as always keep up the great work!

[@klorslug]

I used to always use Antec cases on my builds in the early/mid 90’s. Glad to see how far they’ve come.

[@Lurch-Bot]

I have 4 vintage beige Antec full towers from the late '90s. They came with complete PIII systems and Antec PSUs and I found them on the curb a couple years ago. I built a PIII 450 this year but haven't got around to setting it up yet. I have a ton of late '90s/early '00s video cards to test. I also have a 2008 vintage Antec tower that is black and gray from one of my old PCs. They currently have some nice options in their lineup at a variety of price points. They are also one of the few case makers still selling cases with front drive bays, a boon to retro enthusiasts.

[@danieldavis3288]

Great to see Antec making great cases again. One of my first pc build was in the Antec Super Lanboy. I don't remember the specs of that pc, but the case was amazing.

[@diyathkumara2443]

Totally WOOD 🪵

[@benjbk]

Mounting the PSU sideways is one of the biggest PC buildung innovations of the last years. Which is kinda funny, since it's such an easy tweak.

[@WouterVerbruggen]

Still got an old top-end LGA1366 workstation in an Antec P280 case. Man those were some real high-end cases they made some 15 years ago, some of the best on the market

[@DoktorHaus014]

Long time ago Antec made some legendary cases. Then they disappeared. Last couple of years they are back with vengeance and their cases are very good again. I have Antec C8 and I am extremely satisfied with that case.

[@auntmaryspals7978]

Antec cases used to weigh a ton and sure didn't have any great shakes air flow. I had one for a time and sold it to a little boy who was thrilled. (sold it cheap)

[@blademasterzero5295]

This case really does look pretty nice! I’m impressed!

[@ady5713]

Wow that's an awesome case, love the build

[@Molasar54]

I still have my old Antec 900 with the 200mm fan on top. Still works great after all these years. Check out some photos to see it, they don't make cases like this anymore.

[@MrRyudragon]

this is such a cool case and wow the amount of mesh for ventilation is just amazing hope this starts becoming more mainstream and other case manufactures see this

[@Freddie1980]

Antec, that's a blast from the past! I reminded of one the early Techtubers who would say every time they reviewed a case; 'this case features rubber feat which has excellent anti-virbration properties and won't scratch the surface'

[@Miniputt_999]

What a stunning case. I myself have the Antec performance 1 ft for my main pc, my other pc has the Antec P20C. I feel like i need to buy this case as a gift for my partner who is looking to upgrade. Looking forward to the next video :D

[@tubesami]

That Radeon and motherboard go very well together

[@samuelrave]

I have the same Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT Gaming OC GPU for 3 months now and it runs great! 💯❤️‍🔥 Oh and the case looks great! Good to see Antec devoloping cases again for the higher end.

[@AnticipatedHedgehog]

Interesting idea to pivot the power supply to allow for easier cable routing and save room for HDDs.

[@fuzzylumpkins6034]

This made me feel like it was 1995 and I was in my room listening to White Zombie on my Radio Shack home system with wood panel speakers, playing D1. Damn, that's actually cool, a case that can elicit feels. It is just as big as my old subwoofer

[@Lurch-Bot]

In 1995, I was listening to Nirvana and Bush on a pair of vintage Ohm speakers with walnut veneer cabinets. Still have them but the mains are blown. Tweeters still work, I think. Plan to resurrect them at some point. But I'd need some JBL drivers to match the performance of the originals. But, yeah. First thing I thought about when I saw this case were vintage speakers.

[@fuzzylumpkins6034]

@@Lurch-Bot I could only afford radio shack at the time. My parents had JBL and Bose. This case may be my mid life crisis case. I have been building pcs since 1991 when I made my first Dr Frankenstein pc and me and my pals looked up a woman doing questionable acts with a donkey. I never thought a pc could take me back to the 90s aside from laughing about dial up, granny calling and being dc'd on floor 13 of D1. This took me back to my actual room, Front 242/ Lords of Acid/ White Zombie/Pantera and a well ridden Mike Vallely board in the corner of my room while trying to dork out with my friends on LAN Edit: ordered an antec C8 tonight. Yeah this is my silver fox, buy a porsche 911 mid life crisis. This thing hit just right. Maybe I will buy a Jetfire to relive transformers while I am at it.

[@marcosalvarenga75]

I want the mid version! Great, smart and beautiful case!

[@rakitakhan]

Very cool Greg !

[@coolbusterreal2736]

[@TerminalzPain]

Wood of been nice to show how the temp thing on the side worked :) My first ever "quality" PSU was made by Antec....a few decades ago :D

[@RobertFixit]

That was a Linus worthy pun 😂 Also me watching this video using an Antec DF30 Black Case from 2010.

[@classicgmr]

@GregSalazar 0:54 - you should have put your head in the case for scale. I certainly would have! 🤣🤣

[@MrLegendL2118]

Found it on Amazon for $119.99, it'll be here Friday 😊

[@lectricfence1]

Very nice. Personally, I'm not a big fan of rgb. In my humble opinion, this is one of the best looking builds to date. The next step would be the back connect format integrated into this case. Then it would be perfection. Can see this for my next build. Thanks for sharing Greg.

[@watercannonscollaboration2281]

As someone with a Deepcool CH560 Digital (rip Deepcool), it’s nice that they perforated the bottom of the side panel but made it open from the side to actually make the fans mounted on the bottom have an air path

[@barcelona2170]

Miss Deepcool already. I got a CH370 from them a month before they were banned and desperately want another one. This case looks super nice though.

[@RenatoG1848]

Greg slaps case: "You can fit so many fans in this bad boy".

Loving the guitars on the back! When can we have a video about those? Great vid!

[@rmorenberg]

[@GrayReactsYT]

I am definitely using this case for my build at tax time, thank you for this video.

[@monashaVR]

That is a huge WOOD case👀

[@aarenjackob8680]

Greg idea for a new kinda different but fun segment straying away from repairing pcs. Instead of repairing them use random parts from your stash and build a pc to match a games specs and another to over do it and see which one truly proforms better, on spec or over spec for popular titles.

[@johnt.848]

Considering the size of the case they could have moved the PSU into the case away from the basement so that area would be more practical.

[@nydted1]

The zoom in the RAM. Gotta get my clicks!

[@samuelrave]

Greg, check out the Zalman P30 a beautiful micro-ATX case! Also an "old" brand that suddenly tries again to be relevant. I have the case and it is gorgeous and very very easy and nice to build in, very spacious, loads of space for cable management and very large GPU's will easily fit

[@Mellysia]

This case is an interesting one. The PSU thing is kinda cool, but I think if they made this change a bit sooner like last year it'd have a better reception. Reason I say this is because PSUs with side plugs have already been released for the very same reason. I do like the tool-less designs in cases, but it's not really something I'd buy a case for. If I was still building in large cases I'd love this case for what you'd be able to fit inside of it, but I want to go back to the smaller builds.

[@Lurch-Bot]

I'm sure LGR WOOD like this PC case. But most of us were finished with woodgrain decades ago. The wood accents woodn't match any of my wood furniture and I have an eclectic mix of oak, walnut and pine . Still, my main gripe is the glass panel. I'm over the glass panel look and I'm looking for an affordable all-mesh case. I did a build this year in an AP201 mesh case to sell and I've been looking for a full tower mesh case for my main PC.

[@TheGameBench]

Reminds me of a loudspeaker from the 70's.

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

6:39 Yes indeed, you do. How long did it take for companies to start doing that? I've never owned a case with one. That's awesome.

[@mr.pumpkin8891]

antec is coming back big

[@SJW82]

I have total respect for those speakers you are rocking In The background mate..they look like Klipsh…though I could be mistaken…regardless 😂🙌🏻👌🏻💪🏻 Also I have the Antec P1…it’s a brilliant case…though I wished they put the temperature panel on the side…though here it is 😂 Also 100% want to see a full on water build in this case, got back connect with the MOBO & GPU!

[@xZKrYpTiK]

crazy thats an antec case

[@elenalanigra]

Wood aesthetic is getting more popular and I am here for it!

[@VEN0M415]

It would definitely look good with a wooden block on the cpu/gpu and chrome tubing if you went full on liquid cooling. I like the wood finish a lot, wonder if we can cut our own pieces to get different types in if we want (purpleheart trim would look SO good). Personally I'm not a fan of the mesh basement panel, it's interesting idea to get air to the gpu but I would think getting the hot air out faster with some dedicated cover (with a fan to pull the hot air elsewhere) around the GPUs exhaust would be more efficient than blasting as much air as possible inside. Side note I like that AIO, nice to see a fan on top of the block 👍

[@Dan-zm5ik]

That case wood fit all my components easily.

[@RespawnRealmChronicles]

Hello comment section! Thanks to Greg I’ve been getting more involved in pc building. Hoping the parts I choose work out 😁

[@TheStonedSpidR]

antec like anker makes some really good products for really good prices

[@WilliamReins]

For a final shot of a case build I think all the sides should be on. Very few TT do this.

[@GregSalazar]

Because glass is ugly and glares on camera... there's a reason Lol. We also make an effort to show the entire case with the glass on in at least one shot to detail the degree of tint.

[@HazewinDog]

Hold on... Antec used to be known for their quality, high end cases, before there were more than a couple companies trying their hand at it. They were utterly confused for years though, confused on how to change with the trends when people started caring about more and different aspects of cases. And yes, like you would expect, they did have cheap cases as well, like the one you showed a picture of.

[@outlet6989]

Hi Greg. What would the case weigh if it were fully equipped? Is there an option to add wheels to it? I would like to see you produce a second video in which you max out this case. It would be extraordinary if it were a dual-chamber case with the same height and ready for a ZERO build.

[@dirtydaniel91]

Bring back the LanBoy! Can't find one that doesn't cost a fortune that's not beat to hell lol

[@Fiftykilowatt]

LOL. You can m ount PSUs the traditional way as well, so no biggie :-)

[@andreasdill4329]

I really hate this trend to make cases that are clearly designed to sit on the desk with the front I/O at the top of the case. Where you have to stand up to plug something in, and then have the cables sticking out at the top, dangling down 180°.

[@IslandaBoi]

Aww you must be young. When I first got my PC, everything was at the front of the case. So in other words, things change with time and nothing wrong with being different. Some ppl would prefer his case

I’ve tried multiple different cables, monitors, Different ports, the motherboard.

[@Edgemaster72]

Corsair: makes the Shift line of PSUs Antec: Gee, it'd be a shame if someone made a case that turned any PSU into one of those

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

I'm not so sure I like a case where you have to take off a cover just to flip the power switch on the PSU, what if you have some kind of emergency and ya have to flip that switch quickly? You'll never get that lower sider panel off quick enough to flip that switch. Unless there is another switch somewhere on the back but I did not see one. I guess you can flip the switch on the Surge protector first if ya have it going to one that is (which ya should but we all know how some people are). All in all though it looks really nice and does come with a lot of fans.

[@GregSalazar]

We said in the video that you can install it the normal way as well... so all of those concerns of yours suddenly disappear Lol :-)

[@rwood6382]

Is the basement mesh oh both sides (looks like you can see straight through it in the video), or did you just have the back panel off?

[@GregSalazar]

It's mesh on both sides for airflow purposes (since we've got fans atop the basement by default).

[@Daisudori]

Id buy this if there was a version without the 70s tacky wood

[@OlettaLiano]

Wrong, Greg. This case is nice, but I already found the perfect case for me. It's the Thermaltake CTE C750 Air. I love having the motherboard rotated 90 degrees with the I/O at the top.

[@johnt.848]

Lol, use the RM Shift series PSU in that iShift PSU mounting space and the connectors will all be facing the rear of the case and pointlessly difficult to use.
