[@noelrobles6334]

I’m a big SFF guy, but having practically no AIO support for a CPU that’s supposedly paired with a 4090 is insane. Even the Meshicilious supports a 280 rad… from years ago.

[@_shreyash_anand]

The Formd T1 can take a 240. And it is quite a bit smaller.

@@_shreyash_anand Yeap comparing this to the Ncase M2 where you can fit a 280mm Radiator + 4 fans + Any full size GPU it's really no contest especially with the M2 being half the price.

[@Meesaa06]

I build in Dan A4-H20 and I can say it’s still better than this crap

[@GuilleAcoustic]

It's quite a bummer, because I really like the overall aesthetic. But it is unnecessary big while having zero support for at least a slim 240 AIO, nor allowing for an upside down use. There are better, smaller and cheaper option out there. On a positive note though, it has easy cable management 😅

[@JikoMuskato]

The 7800X3D is really easy to cool. Even small coolers are fine here. And even the 9800X3D isn't excessive so this doesn't need a 280 rad. The Noctua NH-L12S should do fine with either of those.

[@Molasar54]

Very happy to see Antec coming back I still am running an Antec 900 which has superb air flow for when it was made. So this brand always has a place in my heart.

[@3dduff]

The LanBoy LIVES!!!! I dont care what they call this case, this is the Lanboy v3 in my mind. I loved my Lanboy v2 back in the day. I was a freelancer that would carry my computer with me to difference studios I worked at and the fact that the LanBiy came with a carrying strap rig was awsome. I hope they have a convent carry option for this case as well.

[@blackrippin]

I used to think that was the coolest case ever made back in the day lol

[@isaac6705]

The sheen on the anodizing actually isn't really an indicator of quality. It's more an indicator of the style of anodizing, as it would be a soft anodizing. A proper hardcoat anodizing can't really end up that consistent or clean. The struggle to get quality anodizing done in colors is why one of the few that does it right (Geissele Automatics) outright says that their anodized parts of the same color won't necessarily match.

[@joshbussard5583]

Good point! While the sheen does indeed indicate the style of anodizing and the surface prep of the metal, I can promise you Jay has enough experience with anodizing that he can judge quality. :)

[@isaac6705]

​@@joshbussard5583 You can't judge quality without a spec sheet and how it was done chemically... that's kinda the point I'm making. He can judge that it looks nice. Do you have any idea what type of anodizing it is? The thickness? The surface hardness? Antec obviously isn't going to go with Type III hard coat. It's almost definitely type II because that dyes best. But type II is definitionally not a high quality anodizing: it's done because it dyes nicely, not because it actually creates a thick, hard layer on the surface.

[@Jay.McCarty]

Yeah and the panels being CNC machined seems highly dubious. I haven't seen a price for the 1 M but the waste produced by machining those panels seems extreme and cost prohibitive. IMO, only the skeleton is machined.

[@timtimethymetie]

​@@Jay.McCarty Agreed. Something is off about either the info from Antec or Jay's statement.

[@DerangedCoconut808]

The glasses were pushed so high up w/ Michael bay levels of lens flare before this statement was made huh.

[@dirkgently8102]

The material in those fans is LCP, lots of fans use them now because of the tight tolerances they can achieve. The downside of a better material as per usual is cost.

[@chubbyadler3276]

One thing I would like to know is if you can put a 240 rad on the bottom, maybe for an AIO. That said, I would like to see the front and back panels extend down an inch or so to give the bottom some ground clearance.

[@justcause9334]

I really want a case manufacturer to design something like the original Corsair one. Vertical is my favorite layout but hate that I have to lay the case down every time I want to connect a cable.

[@smashed_penguin]

Horizontal if going somewhere like a media cabinet in the living room, Vertical if it's going on a desk.

[@EkiToji]

Yeah been tempted to try out a Meshroom S for exactly that reason. I think the only way to really compromise on CPU tower clearance is to have proper room for a 280mm rad and this Antec doesn't really look like it does in the orientation they built it for.

[@MegaByteKaos]

I would really love to build in a Tower 300, but can’t get past the cooling issues with vapor chamber on GPUs.

[@itsTouEasy]

Haven’t seen one that doesn’t cause fires yet. As a loque ghost user I wouldn’t mind vertical but they are also so wide it defeats the purpose for me idk. Looking for best of both worlds

[@markusburkhard5712]

This case needs a full custom water loop Jay! You can do it! :) I'd love to see you doing a SFF custom loop build!

[@radioJim]

The Cooler Master NR200 was almost a perfect case for me, but after buying it I wished it had better build quality especially in the feet. This looks like a big improvement over it, so I'm gonna pick one up!

[@rekareaper]

It would be cool to see something like this but like 2-3” taller so you could fit like a 45mm thick radiator on the bottom. Then a side panel that has 280mm mounting options for a second radiator.

[@Nh_audios]

Radiator on the bottom is a bad idea unless the AIO has the pump mounted in the rad

[@rekareaper]

@ I’m not taking about for an AIO and I couldn’t care if it works for them or not.

[@DragonEdge10]

​@rekareaper I mean frankly the market for SSF is already niche, and within that niche custom liquid cooling in SSF is even more niche. Virtually no manufacturer will choose to care about radiator mounting without also caring about AIOs.

[@rekareaper]

@ the fans are already on the bottom. It’s pretty obvious there is no intention to put an AIO down there and this likely isn’t a mass produced case with large amounts of stock on shelves and in storage. Moving the fans requires more of a redesign than a simple extension. Placing them on the top instead of the bottom also means you would need three dust filters instead of one or two (two being the case with the side panel I suggested) unless you used the top as intake. Dust naturally settles on the top as well.

[@Brealiq]

I always think the same. It was already extremely hard to fit two 240 rads into my Jonsbo A4 (one top and one on bottom). For the bottom I needed to make a custom frame to rise the case a bit and fit two slim fans into the frame. I really would love to see a sandwich style case which fits two rads out of the box.

[@buriedbits6027]

Beautiful case design and including the all mesh sides with glass as an option is great!

[@StephenCole1916]

That GPU looks awesome in that case.

[@SkipSauls]

As I'm watching Jay's great review, I'm moving my main build from a Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 to an Antec C8 Curve. I've been a fan of Antec for a while, but in recent years they didn't have competitive or compelling options, so it's great to see them back in the game.

[@robertgittins5267]

A thing of beauty! Beatifully engineered anodised aluninium. A good option for Antec would be to choose your anodising colours. I have manufactured many parts and anodising is surprisingly inexpesive and easy for the anodisers to change colours.

[@witcher1973]

I have always been a fan of Antec products, i still to this day use the 240mm AIO i bought in 2019, i upgraded my case to the Antec DF600 Flux a few years ago as-well and even my fans and AIO fans is their single unit two fan prism matrix that fit on the radiator perfectly, looks awesome. Back then they where viewed as budget but i would argue that's because they are far more well known now than back then, i just like the products they bring out both the value and quality has always been there as far as i am concerned.

[@johnhudson7055]

I watched a build in this case last night and immediately I went looking to buy it while I was watching. I love this case and can’t wait to buy it. After looking everywhere to buy it I finally went to Antec’s site and found out it’s not available yet. About the same time I was learning it not available it was said in the video.

[@Jerdun2736]

I love seeing people showing off more SFF stuff recently. I do wish people gave credit to some of the great boutique options that first came up with or brought these ideas to the public. Stuff like the Formd T1 that was (to my knowledge) the first to bring the adjustable center bar sandwich style, and Ncase M1 / M2 that provide great customization as well. They're amazing cases that I feel like not enough bigger tech youtuber's talk about. I'll grant that it's harder because they aren't just off the shelf, and usually take a week or 2 to arrive, not to mention they're mostly sent flat packed with assembly required, but they're still absolutely top tier options

[@Jerdun2736]

I do have to acknowledge how good this case looks though! I don't want to come across like I'm disparaging Antec because that's not my goal at all. This build is gorgeous. I do tend to prefer flipped orientation personally with the CPU / mobo side facing me rather than the GPU but that's all personal preference. Either way awesome video Jay, and THANK YOU for recognizing that the SF750 will handle that build. So many people go way overboard with PSU because they think they need it. A strong platinum rated PSU of 750 watts like the SF750 will handle pretty much any modern build just fine, especially if you're willing to tune power settings or undervolt and that like.

[@nwngunner]

[@scatterforce]

Great spotlight for SFF! -Suggestion for temps: invert the case such that the bottom becomes the top. Supposedly, top and bottom panels are interchangeable. Run the fans as exhaust with no dust filter.- Edit: I got to the end. Another post on Reddit suggested that the case was invertible. Is it possible to move the feet?

[@dylanangel2870]

man remember the old corsair 250D, that was a dream build for me in the old days. shame nothing would fit in that these days shame we dont see much good cheap mitx cases that can fit almost anything in it these days because everything runs so hot and is huge

[@Chuck.S.]

You should take a look at the SAMA brand. Cases... AIOs ... fans .... power supplies. So far, especially for the price, I have been thoroughly impressed.

[@Mindseas]

This is actually a really cool case both in aesthetics and how it's built, the ability to customize and mod seems like a huge boon. The fan placement limitations, and lack of custom loop support (ish) seem to be the only downsides, but with the amount of mesh you get it seems this'll be fine with good aircoolers and just letting the case breathe. Oh, and not a huge fan of the open back design, seems kind of unfinished because of everything kind of hanging out of the back like that. That said, I'm actually veeery tempted to build a fully aircooled 9800x3D + Radeon setup in this case, simply because of the color scheme. If I hadn't just bought a North XL, and a X670E board, I would definitely be going that route. Great review, Antec is definitely working overtime on their cases!

[@goobanet]

Great review thanks Jay. I wish Antec would come up with a similar fully modular mid-sized case which would enable you to add 5.25" external drive bays for card readers, fan speed controllers, VDUs, tool trays or whatever. Make it fully customisable.

[@bendevroy5822]

I’d love to see if you could flip the top and bottom panels, so you could put a top mounted radiator with a flipped motherboard layout. They look to be the same size.

[@logandowell]

[@davidjohnston6547]

If you wanted to mount it vertically just design a stand and 3d print it to see how it works. I do think it would defeat the purpose of the bottom to top airflow, and the front panel being solid doesn't help, however it does have very good airflow with all the ventilation holes in the panels.

[@icedraegon]

Greg Salazar did it first. But i Really Do like this Case im thinking about ditching my nzxt h1 for this antec case

[@jameslewis2635]

I think this case would lend itself to CPU's in the 65 watt range like those 9600X chips from AMD. While you might be able to get it working stably with a more powerful CPU most of them are at least 120 watt which would mean that finding an adequate cooler to fit in the case could be an issue. Unfortunately there is no space to fit an AIO so that limits what kind of CPU you could build in one of these cases.

[@ASMR-soothingsounds]

[@PaulHindt]

I just moved my SFF build from the Dan LianLi A4 H20 into the NCase M2. Now I'm wishing I would have known this case was coming. I loved the A4 H20 build quality but it wouldn't fit the video card I wanted to use, ultimately. The NCase M2 is pretty good but it seems to scratch easily, and personally I'm not a fan of the flat pack assembly. After having gone through the build, I'd rather have a fully rigid outer frame. Yes it is very dynamic and adaptable to different build configs, but I don't like the fact that all of the pieces are held together with a couple of M3 screws. Until every single side of the chassis has been screwed down the case has a bit of flex to it. This makes it a bit precarious when moving it around during the build. I will definitely check out this new Antec for my next SFF.

[@Marc0Bece]

Been heavily considering a SFF build because I got a huge wide-screen monitor and I feel the lack of desk space now and I'm considering mounting my PC below my desk. SFF would be key for that.

[@richardahlquist5839]

I would love to see this be able to be vertical!! Would also be a good homebrew case for EGPU They could make a flow through front panel, and a bit of modification those feet could be used on the back if you were to mount it vertically and since they are half loop they could help with wire management. I want one of these BAD if they keep the price under $120 I may jump on one

[@possesstime2648]

For these sff travel style computers, would be really cool if they made a laptop hinged style screen that flips up from the side panel and flips down when not in use. With BT m&k it would probably become my favorite style of pc ever lol

I know the price isn't great, but this case really speaks to me. And I'm really tempted to build my next PC in this.

[@creaturecore13]

Why? Its a liter bigger then the nr200 which gives you significantly more options for your build and is much cheaper. It is much larger then the terra which looks better and gives you the same build limitations. I dont know how they managed to make a case so poorly optimized

[@Thom101]

Symmetrical top and bottom panels for swapping exhaust fans to the top would be cool. A symmetrical MB tray so swapping sides with the fans in either top or bottom, so you could choose what side you want facing the desired direction. The I/O end cap could accommodate an insert that could be legs of lengths and configurations for cable management, cooling and aesthetics or even an extra fan. Unless the I/O end cap is removable (he didn't say if it was or not) then just swap the whole thing for strength.

[@east_wood]

Having the bottom fans as exhaust, might give better performance too by introducing negative pressure. This is how it works in the terra at least.

[@dividion8102]

Looks like it should be a direct competitor to the Fractal Terra ($180), but I bet it costs about $250-300 due to the higher build quality, and probably on the higher end if it always comes with the extra side panels. Really impressive though, especially with that Asus card in it. If it comes out at $200-225 that'd be very compelling.

it would be cool to have the mobo upside down and the gpu fans pointed toward the top of the case by pushing the spine all the way to one side. this could also allow for bigger cpu coolers or possibly a different layout to put a rad up there on the top. i like the red interior but i think the M2 has more layout options.

If I had that case and had the right hardware to build in it (current PC is far from SFF)...... I'd totally do it, even if I had to print said stand in two separate parts. Then a 280mm AIO would be easily possible for the CPU.

I would love to see the dividing panel in the middle to be slightly lower to allow two low profile exhaust fans. As it is now, there is enough space in the top section of the case to fit fans but the divider is just too high. Two case fans for a SFF build just not enough air flow.

The Performance 1 M is priced at €299 / £249 street price and will be arriving into stock with resellers end of January.

Surely those bottom fans should be exhaust?! That would give negative pressure and help the gpu and cpu access cool air and the gpu exhaust out the bottom (no hot air doesn't rise in a pc case). Bottom intake is not best i think especially as the gpu exhaust will compete with the bottom fan intakes.

I am still of the opinion that Jay needs to do a build in the Antec Cannon. It really would be a perfect chassis for a Black Ice or Nebula revival build!
