    Does it come with a free lifetime supply of air duster?

    I actually quite like the look of that though the obvious things (like sneezing, spilled coffee, infants' fingers etc.) bother me...

    Re: News - Antec Skeleton to tear open the chassis rule book

    You would have to fit guards to the fans on your CPU cooler & graphics card.

    In order to look nice, you would have to be extremely tidy with cabling. For that I would expect the chassis to come with lots of attachment points, and nice Velcro ties.

    Warning: not to be used by people with long hair, people with children, people with cats, people who occasionally drop paperclips, or people in general. Unless you want to glue it upside-down to the cieling, which might be quite interesting ...

    Or mount it underneath a desk.

    Hmm.... that's an interesting idea and I bet someone out there does this

    I like it, it's different and might be good for people who mess with their PC's

    Hmm, so it seems that less is more.

    Anyone want to buy a brand new 12" x 12" piece of brown cardboard? Absolutely perfect for those uATX boards, you can place the PSU by the side of it and at night time cover it all with a Tea Towel.
    Yours for only £300.

    Re: News - Antec Skeleton to tear open the chassis rule book

    as a project for someone, you could cut out some pespex and bend it, and fit it to the sides, it would make an interesting project...

    ONLY £300?

    Shame about the price, it has had me intrigued since I saw shots of it whilst it was a prototype.

    Maybe, the mini might be half the cost of the full size version, however, that would mean I'm kidding myself.

    Where does it say it's £300? As much as I like Antec cases for that sort of money I'd be going with a TJ07!
