News - Antec Skeleton to tear open the chassis rule book

[zoomee]

I would go for this if it wasn't for two important points:

A)- I doubt a very large CPU cooler would fit between the motherboard and the top fan (suppose it depends on how high the fan is away from the motherboard)

and

B)- The bottom bit housing the hard drives etc should be shielded away to keep noise down - can you imagine the sound of a rapter whirring and chirping away at ear level on your desk!

Reminds me of this



But yeah i really like it, not particualy practical for anyone unless they are totaly cleaning OCD though!

[HSK]

ha, that looks pretty cool. well its different!

if anyone decides to mount it underneath their desk please please ensure you are not sitting naked when you decide to use it...I'll let your imaginations think about the outcome of all those spinning fans & sharp steel..

Interesting design, not something I'd expect from Antec.

[Artonox]

Bad design. The point of a case is to sheild the components away from static and human hands. Also nowadays, its meant to be some sort of noise blocker too. This case looks as if you could drop a box of pins in it and bam, game over to the components...

It might be good in conjunction with one of those old dome-shaped "acoustic hoods"

Don't get one at the price it's at man! You could get a nice elegant Lian Li case for that price. Unless you've fallen for this case

[daveharnett]

I absolutely see the point. I know a few people (including myself at one time) who never close the case on their PCs, because they are constantly tinkering with/fixing them.

The problem IMO is the sliding for access to the lower chamber. That IS NOT going to work in the real world of power and sata cables.

Nice try, but beaten on practicality and price by p182 with the side panel thrown away.
