[@toddk1242]

So nice to see a reviewer not only go over a case, but have a build done in it as well. Many tech youtubers just ramble on about the case, and do nothing with it, but take it apart. Good job GN!

[@tfw_no_vampire_gf]

this case sucks compared to the P101, pay more for less features!!!

[@tmright18]

most youtubers just list the specs. An "overview" but they call it a 'review'. Not sure they know the difference to be honest. To make a review you HAVE to have actually USED it. So doing a build is the bare minimum

[@cmdrclassified]

Good to see Antec back in the game. I have had a few Antec cases over the years, but that was a long time ago. They always had decent quality, from what I can remember. Thanks Steve and GN Team. You have all been doing such incredible work over the years, and you're only getting better. Like "GN Fine Wine!" Have a great day! o7

[@samuyilhyde1318]

Great to see Antec returning to the case market. The Antec P180 was a great case back in the day.

[@StompySan]

I am SO GLAD to see Antec back. While I absolutely hated building in my 1200, it was a substantial case made with excellent components and material. Seeing their constant fumbles was difficult, to the point the local shop I was at stopped bringing in their hardware entirely. Seeing this review is making me consider a recase on my primary rig, especially with its current struggling GPU cooling capabilities. Love it.

[@bigjimid]

Literally still using my Antec 900 right now. It's so old it still has the Firewire port on the front/top panel. Love this thing! Glad to see they're back!

[@xmj6830]

I remember 20 years ago shopping parts for a new build. I was living near Paris and went to China town, or near by, where you can find numerous shops selling PC parts. At that time everybody wanted an Antec Sonata case, but shop after shop it was out of stock. Fortunately, a little shop had one in stock at a reasonable price. I bought it and on my way to the car, everyone was looking at me with an envious eye! 😁 Great time!

[@HanmaHeiro]

Was it the Sonata II? Cuz that was my first case haha. I recently saw one at a goodwill near me here in the states and I seriously thought about buying it. I didn't since I knew it was pure nostalgia driving that desire

[@xmj6830]

@@HanmaHeiro I think it was version 2 yeah. Great looking case at that time.

[@stevewatson6839]

I just re-read some reviews: most remark on the HUGE 120mm fan! We have come a long way. Mine still sits ten feet from me but needs some tlc. At some point later this year I plan on putting it and the rest of my first PC back together just for the nostalgia! At the end of its previous life I was having to lock the door with a suitably bent paper clip. 😢😃 That little plastic silver roll-up door for the front usb and headphone/mike sockets is about the only thing I'd have changed at the time - for metal; that little door kept the dust out and is something I've missed on later cases.

[@Eribuster]

I still have my Sonata 3 build from 2008. Love the case to this day

[@opiumextract2934]

Glad to see Antec again, had an antec 900

[@forgetfulduck]

Antec! Brings back memories. I used the antec P160 for over 14 years. When it came to replacement, I couldn't find anything. Good to know they are back!

[@niyokochan]

I like that the fan filter is removed from the front. This makes it easier to take out when you want to clean it.

[@Frostymane.]

It’s definitely a nice addition. Currently I have the Antec Performance 1FT and the filter can also be pulled out on the front. They really are having a strong comeback

[@c-jen8923]

The Antec900 was a great case! That helicopter 32847239mm fan on the top! The liquid cooling pass-throughs in the back. A bagillion drive cages, or however many tape decks would fit in the slot. Good to see Antec tossing their hat back into the case market!

[@aftermax01]

Antec is pretty known here in Italy and Europe, especially because of models like the DF700 FLUX. It was cheap, good quality, 5 fans, and could fit a 280 or 360 liquid freezer 2 on the top

[@justinf79]

Didn't even know Antec was really around anymore. Had a couple of them in the 90's/early 00's. My first PC build in '97 was an Antec case with Antec PSU.

[@JohnDavidSullivan]

Glad you finally got around to reviewing this. Had the black version a month now and despite having to buy additional fans I'm so happy with it. Few niggles in the setup but relatively painless. For me it joins the Torrent in being an absolute joy to build in.

I am so thankful to see GN back in the case review space again! I completely understand why there was a 2? year hiatus. Small note, who is the new person on camera doing the disassembly? Because they should be using a GN screwdriver, not a Craftsman. It's always the attention to detail that comes back to bite you. 😂 Caffeinator out.

[@AkornzStash]

my current system is about 7 or 8 years old. And its starting to show its age with performance in video editing, as well as risking my youtube video data from aging drives. So I'm just starting to look into my next build, and just wanted to say the first channels I always turn to is yours (Gamers Nexus) and Jays Two Cents. I think you both have the best reviews and advice above any other tech channels on KZbin. So Thanks for all the work and thorough testing that you do 👍

[@mikeoleksa]

Antec got my attention again when I was looking for prices for the InWin D-Frame case. Antec's new Striker and Cannon cases came up as "similar products you might like" with the search. Open loop cooling cases that integrate the chassis to include water cooling components as part of the outer case. Then when looking for fans, Antec has several that they recently released and seem to compete in the area that Arctic has been in. Good quality, good prices, good warranty, available as single and in packs of 3 or 5, different fans for pressure and airflow, and a slightly more premium tier also including ARGB versions.

[@nicolasarenas8988]

I actually bought this case a few months ago. I bought the fanless one since I had so many fans available to use. I think it's an incredible case for the price. I laughed at when you mentioned the last time you purchased and used an Antec Case. It was the same for me. Around mid 2000's was the last time I used one. I can vouch for this case. It is a quality case for the price they are asking. Airflow is great as well. I would recommend to anyone looking for this kind of layout.

[@xlpilcjj1786]

as an owner of the antec c8 i love this case it looks lovely is easy to build in and high quality rare antec w

[@BestragaGdeSi]

You could mostly mitigate the CPU cooling starvation with back exhaust fan turning to intake, add on fan on top to be intake above the CPU cooler and the side fans(ones on the backplate) use for exhaust .All that with keeping the bottom fans as intakes for GPU. It could potentially lead to warm air from GPU fighting with Top intakes but CPU will most believably push warm air to side exhausts. I would love to see updated version of testing with this setup team ! Cheers

[@Alkashar]

I just want to take the time to thank the GN team for your efforts in providing concise and unbiased infomation on hardware . I find your videos to be exceptional in quality as well as entertaining. After a 10 year hiatus from PC building, Ive been able to bring myself up to speed quite quickly and have so far binged the infomation you have provided in the last 4 years, as well as the bench marking charts on the GN site. It has allowed me to make some educated decisions on upgrading from a previous 4790k build, to a future proof modern system. The information provided corrected some choices i had previously made in error as well as saving me Hundreds by opening my eyes . I have chosen the C8 for my build , all components are currently in transit and will arrive monday :) .

[@Christopher_S]

Honestly, this is great news! I had an Antec 300 case back in the day, and the cooling performance on my 4790k & GTX 780 was amazing! It was a tank of a case that I was sad to see go when I upgraded my computer. Bring on innovation, welcome back Antec!

[@keffmode]

My first computer was built in an Antec 900. Q6600 & 8800 GTS 512MB. The cooling was so damn good that I could run a 1GHz overclock on the Intel stock cooler in that case. Happy to see theyre making a comeback!

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

Built a lot of computers in the P180 series of cases. Used one for my own computer first and built the others for customers. Solid, quiet, decent looking and cool enough for workstation computers of the day. But it's easy to see why a lot of users today wouldn't know who they are or what they did. From the people I talked to the failure of the later Antec cases was that management wanted Bling over quality or function, and that ended the development of their cases. But it's a lot like asking young computer users about Zalman. They are not very likely to know about the Zalman CPU coolers which was a big deal back in the day. The design was pretty ingenious. Instead of using a solid block of metal and skiving fins in it or any other of the common techniques of the time they stamped thin sheets into shape. Put them in bunches compressing the part that was to go into contact with the CPU using aluminium brackets and screws and then milled the contact patch flat. The top of the sheets in the heatsink would be bent apart in different shapes depending on the design. These were very efficient, probably cheap to make, and could use combinations of materials. Hetsinks made this way could be make out of aluminum, copper or a mix of both depending on how efficient they had to be and the price. Yet they all used the same machines during manufacture. Only the metal of the sheets differed. The milled surface was interesting as it was hard to see that there were a lot of thin sheets pressed together. Instead it mostly looked like it was milled out of a single block even when there were both copper and aluminium sheets used. Zalman had some other interesting parts they made, though I don't think they got much attention. One of those was a USB HDD case. You inserted a SATA 2.5" drive and it could be attached as a USB drive. But it could also mount ISO images of CD or DVD drives as a separate drive. These were stored on the HDD (SSD wasn't a thing yet for normal consumers) in a special folder structure. I had one of these with Windows, BSD, Linux and a lot of other special bootable disks stored in ISO format so I could handle just about anything with that drive. It was nice and practical but I have never heard of anyone else that knew that Zalman had those. Zalman is still available but is usually forgotten, and certainly not as well known as they used to be.

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

Loved my Antec P182 back in 2007. It was my first premium case. And it certainly felt premium. To this day I’ve never had a case with thicker panels. Was 150 bucks which was 3x a budget case then and would probably be more like 300 bucks today.

[@nbates66]

Built my first ever PC inside an Antec Super Lanboy, good to see them make a re-appearance at last!

[@t3amb4sh]

I just wanted to say how good Antec's aftersales support is. I bought a Performance 1 and it had a scratched left side panel from the inside (most probably due to the courier's incompetence plus it lacked the inside peel). I sent them an email, they replied immediately, they were really friendly, asked for a pic or two, sent me an RMA Form and the product number, and about a month later, when they received the panels (cos I am in EU), they sent me a brand new side panel which is in excellent condition. That's the way companies should operate. Asus , I am looking at you. I hope Antec becomes big again! Great review, Steve! PS: Performance 1, is a great GREAT case, which is a compact (yeah, that's how I can describe it) full tower that lacks only a fan controller (I think they should include a Fan controller rather than the temp readout, which is useless if your PC is on your desk :) )

[@MindstabThrull]

I remember back in the day buying computer cases with built-in power supplies for like, $30 or thereabouts. And then I decided to buy my first standalone case and a separate power supply (remember those?), and the first case I bought was an Antec Three Hundred. You know what it's like when you don't know what you're missing until you try something else? It's like that "mind blown" meme. Sure, I was told long after the fact that there were better cases for the price out there, but I mean, we're talking 15ish years ago and I didn't know where to find a lot of this information back then. (Now you can just type the name of the case in question and "review" into your search engine of choice and get back lots of results.) And then, after cases, they were mostly known for power supplies, and then they essentially fell off the face of the planet. Glad to see they're back with some good solid components again!

[@cr4zydav3]

[@GENKI_INU]

My first Antec case (902 USB 2.0) was my only case. It's been serving me well for over 13 years of generations of hardware upgrades, without fitment issues (even with a massive 3090 Ti). When I upgrade, I buy used office cases to put my old hardware in to sell it, and I keep using my Antec case for new hardware. I don't understand why some people keep buying new cases every single time they upgrade (creating more e-waste), when there's nothing wrong with reusing your old one if you can.

[@dreamEnd]

I feel like the reason why people keeps pushing "011 inspired" /Dual chamber-fishtank cases is because they're boosting case fans sales. 🤣

[@BurntFaceMan]

Genuinely impressed and excited by this case, Antec have made some kick as cases in the past, my 1200 STILL going well all these years later. Really good to see them come back. It's about time we had more competition from a actually good company not some unknown new comer who just cheaply clones other peoples designs. Yes I realise people may view this case as a clone, but it was a GOOD clone. Their years of experience in the game finally showing. I'm not in the market for a new case but will definitely consider this one in the future

[@Mike-qu6fp]

I had an Antec P180 and P182 back in the day, excellent build quality. After that I switched to Fractal Design define series. My PC is on the floor to my left, so any case with glass is immediately ruled out due to the glass being on the wrong side.

[@ChaitanyaShukla2503]
