Just hearing Jay say he is building a PC makes me smile. I could watch those all day in real time.

[@MrAndreweddy]

loved Antec back in the day - had an antec 1200 huge airflow case, saw me thru x58 to current ryzen system - got corsair crystal 570x now, sold the antec 1200 to bloke who is using it as server case due to awesome airflow, 15 years later and still getting used

[@Nicolas-tc6hn]

still on my 1200. ♥

[@aintnomeaning]

That was a Goated case series for sure

[@personnel5757]

Just moved my gaming rig to an Antec case (now I feel old) XD Love it! BUT NO CAPTIVE SCREWS :( :( :(

[@chiefgecko]

Antec Nine Hundred lived in a closet from '09 - '21 and taken out once per year for de-dust'n.

[@DocMagoo]

Yep, still rocking 2 x original Antec 300 cases, they've contained a few different setups over the years, I've had to replace the fans but the cases are still going strong

[@aserta]

Had a few Antec cases. In particular, i still use a 300. That thing was built like a tank. It's ALMOST IBM server tower quality, but IBM built those like nuclear silos. Even empty, it takes one man a broken back insurance to move it about.

[@DocMagoo]

+1 for the original three hundred cases

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

No fans on the back panel just makes it feel unfinished or missing something. I'm sure that's just my OCD.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

So glad you did this video as I just updated my build in this same case. It was a DREAM to build in. Roomy, lack of razor edges, and cable routing was easy. Used two of their 5 pack Sync fan sets.

[@Not-today-wb9do]

i use an " ANTEC LANBOY AIR " with 2 water cooling loops 1 with 240mm rad an 1 140mm rad for the g12 g-card set up 10 fans 4 blowing directly at the motherboard 2 above the gpu 2 below, best case ive ever owned ive had it 5 years now modded it a few times to suit different things currently a 11600kf an gtx108ti .love would not change it, , also drives bays are old school we have m.2 now so you don't need drive bays or many drive bays

[@patrickmarshall7718]

I'm glad to see people starting to buy antec. built my first pc using them. Never looked back.

[@chestbuster1987]

One of my first purchases for my personal PC was an Antec 900. Great case. Great company.

[@olivemartini0011]

Wow, this was beautiful. I love the all-white theme. So so so so pretty

[@Species1571]

Still running my Antec 900, now on its 4th set of fans, except the big top one which is still original.

[@Zapachna6661]

I still run an Antec 1200 case. It was my first Custom PC case and I've just upgraded it over time. I love the look of it and that with the fans in the front and top, looking like a beast. I've swapped all the fans out for ARGB ones over time and cut one of the HDD cages to allow for longer length GPUs. I've also recently created a PSU cover out of Acrylic to create a basement to hide cables in. Next time I upgrade I'm going to make a cut out for ease of installing tower or liquid coolers to the CPU as it's the only thing now it really needs in terms of mod-cons.

[@marcc5768]

im still using an Antec P182 case for my Ryzen 5 1600 build. I love how quiet it is along with how much space I have to work in and how many storage drives I can have in there.

[@Smokey_MR2]

I'm using an Antec 1FT Performance which I bought following your review Jay. Best case I've ever used, excellent options for cable management, clean look, great airflow (I use a 360 AIO for CPU cooling) It also has a digital display panel which shows the CPU or GPU temp and it has been handy when gaming to be able to see temps without something on screen. I love it so thanks for reviewing it.

[@gamerswithchildren]

Last PC I built was in the Antec Performance Series P120. Very similar to this. It's been working great.

[@Kodekrashed]

Your Antec performance 1ft review got me to buy one, I love the display for cpu and gpu temp as well as the companion software is awesome

[@Connection_Interrupted]

Same here, I used that case and it was based on that review to build my very first system

[@prophicie7]

Same reason why I bought the case.

[@aintnomeaning]

My first antec case was before cases had side fans or top fans and 120mm was the absolute max. I cut new fan mounts out by hand, drilled and grinded, and did wet-sanding multiple paint layers to mirror shine, all by hand back then. AMD Athlon 1500+!

[@Maraksot78]

I just finished a build in the NZXT H9 Flow and it's very similar to this case. Thanks to the popularity of the Lian Li 011 Dynamic, every manufacturer is doing their take on that 'fish tank' design. I'm a bit biased, but I like the design choices NZXT made on the H9 Flow over this one. The top and back panel mounts for radiators or fans are removable in the H9 Flow where these are fixed. Being able to remove the mounting plate from the case, mount your radiator or fans and then install them all at once as a unit is really convenient. It's also nice when you need to change something in your build that requires you to remove the fans or radiator, you can simply undo a couple of tumbscrews and pop the whole assembly out and then back in again rather than having to disassemle things and then put it all back together. Also in the H9 Flow there is a panel on hinges that covers the cable routing channel on the back side to cover up your lack of cable management (although it offers amazing cable management options, there's velcro straps that allow you to manage all your cables without having to use any zip ties) and that panel is where you can mount up to four 2.5" drives. Needless to say, I'm happy with my choice. Other than those few things though both cases are very similar and look fantastic IMO.

[@evensen007]

I wish i could hang out with you guys for a day. Watching you build pcs brings back so much nostalgia and great memories.

[@Steves-Bikes]

A very pleasing looking build.

[@teddytiger5217]

My very first PC that I built was in an Antec Plus 1080 Full Tower case *with Window*. AMD Athlon 2K and I had around 10 fans in that thing. UV Cold Cathode and round IDE, Glow-in-the-Dark cables. I miss that case, I miss all the room in it. Good on Antec for sticking with it this long!

[@Riddler290]

Phill comes in clutch with that sick montage beat. lol

[@PsychoStreak]

Have several Antec cases. A pair of SX630s; and SX830 and SX1030 and several Solo's. Solid cases, clean lines.

[@KniteOwls]

About a year ago I decided to build myself a new PC. Was looking on Amazon for parts. Really fell in love with the Antec Dark League DF700 Flux White case. Love the look and the air flow.

[@user-jd1lf1mb8k]

I am using the Antec p120 crystal it has a top mounted psu I like the fact dust filter comes out the front easily

[@HlspwnsWorld]

The computer pron montage got me really excited about computers again. Very good choice of music and editing 👍🏻

[@bobbeldin7846]

Currently using Antec DH 700 Flux. I've had a couple years now. Love it. Awesome air flow. No issues at all. Easy to build in.

[@damac2k2]

i used to rock an Antec dp502 flux case. I loved that case. I would still be using it if not for the NV5 from phanteks. That case is solid. I also have 7 d30 fans and the rgb kit for it as well. gonna keep a check on this series of cases to see if they make one similar to the nzxt h6 flow. that's the next case i'm going to buy for an intel sonic themed build.

[@mikeoleksa]

Antec has a few new cases that recently caught my attention. I was actually loooking for the In Win D Frame case and Antec's new Supreme Series cases popped up as alternatives. One is the Antec Cannon and the other is the Antec Striker. They both integrate mounting for water cooling parts on the exterior of the case and the parts become part of the exterior aesthetic.

[@hazigan]

Im running an old Antec Lanboy that's yellow and black, definitely don't have to worry about Air flow except when it gets dust over the years clogging it. What i loved most about it was the easy to carry for the Enemy Territories landpartys friends and i had growing up .

[@airvine3793]

Nice build and case, love the smoke machine visual

[@oguzhan0Kahyaoglu]

Excellent video edit here, I loved the pc building part of the video with music! Great work J!

[@seanhunter1063]

My first build was in an Antec P160 window case. The motherboard was a DFI LanParty Pro 875B. I've still got it in the loft somewhere.

[@equinoxe3d]

My first build was in a 1st gen Antec Sonata, loved that case

I like the dramatic ending

[@oct2274]

Back in the day Antec was very high quality, hopefully they are going to make a full comeback. I had multiple antec cases and power supplies. I still have one PSU from over 20 years ago. Works great!

[@nickr3418]

Nice to see something new and modern from Antec

[@SalvaBarbus]

Had an Antec 300, and it was one of the very best cases that I ever had. They really knocked it out of the park with that one. On an unrelated note, I really wish we could see more AMD builds in this channel.

[@viperpit-lr2rp]

Very nice looking build

[@Kuasimodem]

love the build. Only thing I would change is to put the AIO radiator on the back wall drawing in fresh air, leaving the top as passive exhaust. Maybe a white plastic filler panel to close the gap at the front by the 160mm fans.

[@brentsmithline3423]

[@GoofstersWorld]

My Antec 1200 is still standing next to my desk with half of my old system in there.. it now functions as a bystand table with my hot water dispenser on top of it for my tea during the day.. hehe.. Maybe I will use it in the future for like a home server thing.. Build a new system last summer in my new Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB, Really love the new case btw!

[@gasracing5000]

Lots to like in that case. Sweet snow white build

[@jorgejuan439]

Last Antec case I got was a 900 that I purchased at Fry's Electronic in Anaheim off of La Palma early 2000s. I had a few P82s before that. Great cases and OK fans. I still have the case with the original fans still going Back then it was unthinkable to get anything at Microcenter and now Micro Center it's where it is.

[@jplayzgames_]

My dream is an all white pc build similar to this. White builds w/ RGB look so clean

[@itsdeonlol]

Very nice Antec case!

[@rynosraceroom66]

Its freakin awesome ! Great job Jay , great camera work Phil 🤘🏻🏁

[@MrAcuta73]

Last Antec I built in was the 900 back when it was "the" case to have. Modified the crap out of it. Was a fun case for the time. I still even have it, sans the system that was in it which I gave to my ex. My silicon lottery winning E8400 at 4.1GHz on air...wish I could get that lucky again.

[@-Zegop-]

Well this is fantastic timing, I’ve just started looking for a white PC case for my next build.

[@KOT-ANGRY]

Perfect build music 😮❤❤❤

[@donnydonnydonny]

Antec 900! There's a name I hadn't thought of in a long time... built and rebuilt MANY computers in that case before deciding to move onto SFF builds.

[@wolffstarr]

Ah yes. The good old days, when Antec was a brand to love. Had a pair of Antec Super LANBoy cases, one for me and one for my wife. In fact, the nifty little pop-out parts drawer it had, to this day, still holds all my assorted case and PC screws I've collected over the years. After that I had an Antec 900 that went from desktop to server case (because of the hard drive capacity). It ended up retired when I started getting into used server gear - you just can't beat drive capacity per square inch of rack mount gear. It'd be nice to see Antec come back to their glory days as a manufacturer that was worth buying, but I'd need to see more than a sponsored build video to believe it. Sounds more like a job for Gamers Nexus' case reviews.

[@PurpleKnightmare]

I love it, I love my current Antec DF700 Flux case too. My fans rarely ramp up, has to be summer time warm, and playing Cyberpunk 2077. I use the reverse fan in the bottom, blows right into my GPU too.

[@starman5754]

Effective, elegant and nice looking build!

[@harishnarain]

I loved Antec cases in the 2000s. I then switched to Lian-Li PC-7FNWB (with an Antec PSU still) in 2010, and then Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X which I'm currently using. I love the Evolv X, I don't think I'll ever switch. However a part of of me wants to go back to Antec or Lian-Li as it reminds me of a great time in PCs.

[@bigsquirrelin1975]

[@hashtaglobotomy2655]

had an antec kuhler for my fx9590. worked great!

[@robmasters3569]

I love Antec as a brand. I think they make some of the most stunning cases around and some really unique designs too. Unfortunately I only have one Antec component for my upcoming first custom loop build and it's their Antec Signature 1000w Titanium power supply which looks like it was made via Seasonic which adds even more confidence in it's quality. it looks stunning as far as PSUs go so I can't wait to build with it.

[@OpieOG]

The air flow is a lot like the h6 flows. It’s nice to see all the dual chambers with this much air flow

[@rossherrmann9854]

Just finished a micro atx build using an Antec CX200M case in white . It’s a cheap case but looks great with all white components.🙂

[@DjManeyecool]

A long time since i used an Antec case, & rocked it with BitFenix fans. The old Antec Dark Fleet DF-35 i had. oh wow with the Intel Q9450 then got the i5-3570k. Man i miss the old days of cool stuff, now it's bling bling glass all over the joint & rgb fans. Bring back the old days cold cathodes lol.

[@paulbeam4499]

My first 3 builds were all Antec. This is a nice case!

[@mattfred5128]

I had an Antec Skeleton. It was an open case with a giant fan on top. Still have it to this day.

[@felipebarbosa2797]

good touch, finishing by presenting the air flow with smoke

[@SourBogBubble]

Thanks for the efforts!

[@JimKJ3N]

Still have my Antec Nine Hundred case. It's not being used now, but it did house my home-built NAS at one point. I've thought about modifying it to take hot-swap drive bays instead of the terribly cumbersome HDD cages that come with it. I have a video on my channel that shows the move from the old Antec to a newer Antec VSK4000E-U3. I also had the aluminum Antec Super LanBoy case at one time.

[@kasper_429]

I love that Antec is still around. I really wish they would bring back an updated version of their 900 and 1200 cases from back in the day. Those were the first higher-end cases I ever built in, and they were awesome. If they brought them back with some modern updates (PSU shroud, TG side panel instead of acrylic, front fan mounts instead of like 10 5.25 bays, USB-C on the front I/O, etc), they would be awesome!

[@davidgokey1763]

love building and shopping vids!!

[@DirtCheapFU]

9:35 Such a funny footnote to add there. I just update my PC case from NZXT S340 to an 011D and I upped my fans to 8 in total. Noticed all my RGBs werent working. To my simple brain, I knew it was a load issue but I never had to think about the issue before.

[@Soul_Kitchen67]

Antec 900. Loved that case!

[@Capt_C_Storm]

Jay, you are one of the few people I trust online with reviews buddy. Great channel and content. Something I wish you can add to the case reviews however is the actual motherboard tray area measurements. Most of the time manufacturers only give you the max sizes that will fit in areas like the motherboard. The trouble with that however is although the component may fit in that area it may not fit well especially with other components. For example, I have a E-ATX motherboard and a common mid-tower case. The specifications say you can put a motherboard less than 280mm in the case. Now the motherboard does fit as stated but it overhangs the motherboard tray area and actually blocks some of the side fans. Not enough to cause problems but it just doesn't look nice in a case with multiple glass panels. That being said, I am looking for a replacement case now. So, if you can provide the measurements that would be great for this review and possibly future case reviews. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

[@et6666666]

I run a Antec Df600 and love it.

[@philipread8733]

[@keiz_]

I've been dying to pick up the ARGB version of this case, since it comes with the 160mm fans, as soon as it's available I'm planning to pick it up to swap out and upgrade my current system.

[@allenwand2818]

Still using my P280, with an antec 850 w power supply been solid case, it's on its 3rd mbo, CPU GPU. its slated to be an NAS with the 6+HD tray, in its next life. Love how quiet it is with a bunch of spinning HD, blue ray.

[@WarningHPB]

I still have my Antec 300, would have loved a 900 back in the day the 1200 was awesome as well

[@pcbuilderlover4271]

The word Antec brings back so many memories of building PC in the late 90s. Buy a new case and toss the included Power supply and install an Antec PSU. Looking over some old pictures I even had Antec fans. Not sure if I ever had an Antec case. That Antec case looks like a lot of thought went into it. Thanks for reviewing it.

[@PaganWizard]

Way back in the late 80's-early 90's, I loved Antec/ThermalTake computer cases. The case is nice, but it looks a lot like an 011D Evo, without the ability to flip the MOBO.

[@KnexFour]

Had a Lanboy Air, loved it. Had it loaded up with so many fans. I regret selling it.

Its nice to see Antec back in the consumer market. They were my choice of power supplies and I legit had no idea where to go after they seemingly disapeared and even today PSU reviews dont touch on quality as much as Id like them to.
