[@euphoria842]

I got the C8 after watching your build and wow what a beaut.

[@mcrazza]

I hear the Antec C4 is the bomb. I'll see myself out.

[@mythicul]

😂

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

Someone had to do it 😂

[@TakaChan569]

Shame!!!

[@KlaireGearSeekers]

🤭

[@pangeranrio0112]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@benjaminfrohns]

Really dig the lighting on those fans. Nice build.

[@sKepTiCal404]

I am so glad antec is actuallyt trying their best to compete in the case market again. Their 1 FT was definitely an impressive case imo

[@Adriano-Italiano]

i picked up this case few days ago and absolutely love it! its the perfect size case imo

[@kevint3821]

Great overview and video! Loved the music!

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

The fish tank needs to be filled. Time for an oil cooled PC and plastic fish for the ultimate fish tank PC

[@KlaireGearSeekers]

Fill it with boba 🤭

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

@@KlaireGearSeekers The ultimate bubble tea build!

[@AntecUK]

Loving the work! Great video.

[@blank.000]

Looks solid. Personally I think the Phanteks NV7 and NV9 are what's called the perfect fish tanks.

[@shano15]

Great to see a detailed review on this. If you used a 280mm aio vertically on the back would you set it up as exhaust and use the pre installed fans on the top as intake? Or do it the other way around?

[@ninitch42]

Clicked + Watched + Liked the video! Thank you for the content!

[@MrGoodFella]

I really like the look of this case and may switch to it from my Fractal Meshify S2. Amazing video and information as always guys and gal!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥😉😁

[@twc733]

Are you putting up the pc part picker soon ? Think I'm gonna build this case over the corsair 4000x ql now... looks fantastic... but will miss my asus rog strix mb

[@dabruuzer]

Thanks for featuring the C5! I can't find more info on it anywhere, and no stock yet here in Canada. Fantastic review, very informative. My only thought for something that is 'missing' are some grommets like on the C8 for cables, as the open holes look meh. Also, it's 2024 and we have a mostly-premium materials case with NON-captive thumb screws? Hope that can change.

[@nathanjdias]

I managed to pre order a C5 and it set me back US$ 107. The fact that it had no reviews bothered me. Thankfully now that I've watched this I can rest easy.

[@TheHarleyH]

Nice. I just did a build very similar to this. Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is that the Project Zero motherboard cranks the fans up on boot to max and that is loooud with all these fans!

[@nimrodery]

It's minor but it seems like the side is a better place for a dust filter, especially in a case with positive air pressure. I'd definitely use the bottom filter, the top seems like an obstruction.

[@TechedOff]

Yeah it's probably to keep that price point. Metal magnetic filters are usually very obstructive, and nylon filters are the gold standard for balanced dust filtration and airflow, but they are also more expensive.

[@Jimmyle78]

I've been waiting for you to get your hands on this case to review. Looks great, but I have a question. The back connectors looks clean for those upgrading or starting off with the newer boards that support it. What about current users from last gen wanting to upgrade their case and still have to connect the cables the traditional way? Do it come with the rubber grommets to clean up the aesthetics?

[@MarcsSpark]

The only downside i can see is that it would probably be very tight for the connectors at the bottom with a standard atx motherboard.

[@twc733]

I would like to build a c5 with ATX... if it will work

[@Tinyboyyy]

I'll wait for the next perfect fish tank.

[@twc733]

Like it alot .. can you buy a 3 pack of antec white fans to add if you buy...

[@kaku_kiji5115]

HEY mate i hope you will release an antec cx200m review

[@justatim8143]

Antec I like your case with the large hole in the top but not the slots in it as they should be in a removable tray under the top or at the least dual slots like the front side fan brackets.

[@TypingWithIsaac]

I've been thinking about using this case for my 1st build and had a question: Do you think that the arctic liquid freezer 3 360 mm aio (65mm thick with fans attached) would fit top mounted in this build, using a standard ATX motherboard (no back connect)? Or do you think it would interfere with the VRMS, cpu connectors, or ram?

[@SpawnOfBlackie]

I love it but the only thing that jars is that the rad & its fans obscure part of the uppermost side fan. Do you think it would look better with a 240 or 280, or would that look more weird?

[@smthsmth]

Costs over 200 eur in Europe, ridiculous price.

[@Leander4589]

Does the rgb for the ram and cpu also change color the same ways as the fans?

[@kuzzzzzzzzzzzz7511]

Build it with Lian li fans plust asus btf please!!

[@Happy-295]

Can you review the Thermaltake Ceres 500 case, please? It's not a fishtank and is a competitor to Lancool 3.

[@rascal.elder6594]

will full ATX be an issue for mid tier mobo's which does not have back connections like in the video.

[@rickgear2579]

I like these, but I can't help but feel that the side orientation affects the airflow. I like what NZTX did with the H6 and angled the air. Too bad that case was too small to fit my Arctic Liqiuid III AIO. Had to go back to my NZXT H7 Flow.

[@askaliu2943]

technically, fish tank type like this should be better with vertically mounted GPU setup, have the AIO on the side inlet, and run kind of a down->up chimney type airflow allowing the air to flow pass both side the of GPU easier.

[@mellowthm566]

Fish tank cases really need to start to angle or bend. The King 95 has very similar temps to front mesh config just cuz there is a bend in the glass. In fact the best config is side 280mm AIO on intake. Definitely want to see more angle/bends if the fish tank is still popular

[@gottahavitvt]

Does your c5 actually have glass front panel? Mine is obviously acrylic, while side panel is glass

[@vikarshaikh615]

Antec CX700 White case build please🙏

[@joethomson8491]

Nice 😜👍🏻white builds are the best really nice 👍🏻 😂

[@stevewatson6839]

Your C5 ARGB White link returns a 404 error. Great video, mind. Still not fallen out with the music!😀 PS: Remember the Antec Sonata? I still have one!

[@KlaireGearSeekers]

Oop, thanks for the heads up!

[@TakaChan569]

The price is nice even more so because it comes with fans, that was my issue with their cases before.

[@rodhester2166]

I was going to drink every time you said Antec c5 but I am at work right now and I really do not want to pass out.

[@pinsandscrews6459]

i really want to see a Case similar to a SFF where the GPU is in a separate space from the CPU, but in a mATX or ATX size.

[@izik7220]

So this does support a vertical gpu mount even with those bottom mounted case fans ??

[@WaterKylin95]

I am also curious

[@jadadpe3873]

How does this compare to the Montech King 95 Pro? Is the Montech case worth an extra $30-40?

[@GearSeekers]

Absolutely but you might want to wait a few weeks before buying a King 95 👀

[@brianzjones]

Shoutout to the Antec Sonata II! Have one that I'm trying to find a use for now, just b/c it's such a clean exterior design. -bZj

[@nath-wp7xp]

Are you able to do a video covering all the “fish tank” PC cases on the market and compare them all?

[@KlaireGearSeekers]

We would need a warehouse space for that! There are so many!

[@BuzzTec]

Next review Montech Sky 2 GX

[@GearSeekers]

Uploading....

[@sch-corp]

Almost feels like building a PC with those gorgeous Cablemod cables and then using a back connect motherboard should be a crime. $169AUD for this with all the included fans, is a steal! EDIT - my first PC was built in an Antec Super Lanboy. Been a long time coming, but it feels like this legendary company is finally back!

[@Savadrox]

okay, if you have 26 idle temp on 7800x3d, i need proof, no way that cpu idles that low

[@groldra4842]

Only thing missing is the case being invertable

[@Ryhillchibulls]

[@bury101]

Are YTers flexing by using the LTT screwdriver or is there any angenda to seeing the screwdriver in almost every build on YT!!!!!!

[@GearSeekers]

It's just a screwdriver. Relax

[@tigerbalm666]

Screws suc! Why not magnets...WTF Antec???

[@ABC-ls9ez]

Wow the cable management is terrible.

[@kjrayo18]

I still don’t get why these pc case companies don’t include grommets anymore. All these cases look like cheap Chinese versions. At least make them look cleaner jeez….

[@crazycom272]

so many wires 😓

[@vlad_8011]

I'm still waiting with my O11 Air mini to get proper successor, instead another copycats. HEAR ME OUT if you want to be unique, first gets my attention (manufacturer) - Front ventilated panel (not necessary mesh) - Dual chamber layout like here (still, there is nothing unique, perfect formula wasnt yet composed) - 180 or 200mm FRONT fans support - 140,180mm bottom fans support. - Dust filters on every intake - 140mm fan support on the back - No crappy plastic fasteners for side and top panels (just use screws like O11 Air mini - its best and simplest solution that WONT BRAKE) - Proper distance between bottom and floor level for proper intake from bottom. - I/O PANEL ON THE FRONT, not on top. People put those cases on desk. Of someone want to put them on floor, he got 100 other O11 copycats to choose. Why so big fans? Remember Torrent case? Even additional magnetic covers for top panel would be apreciated. If you will make case like this, it will outsell all those fishtanks, and airflow lowers will simply praise you for decades.

[@uatuthewatcher6716]

You don't need a flex test you don't sit on it everytime I see somebody do that it's dumb

[@GearSeekers]

Actually I sit on cases all the time

[@megadeth8592]

fish tanks dont look good with a hockey puck on the cpu

[@the12gaugeshotty]

Another Lian-Li O11D clone. The market is flooded with them.

[@GearSeekers]

Never heard that one before 🤣
