One of the few cases that's genuinely caught my eye lately, and this video review was superb. Thanks

It's very nice seeing how much you love your cat. Thanks for keeping that in the video! I bet that kitty is super happy

Aesthetically, Nick's builds are the best for me.

@@silvertechmods9215 yup. I can't say that I like them, but they're pretty decent.

been loving those cinematic shots from all your vids man :thumbs_up:

Thank you. One of the few folks to actually show case antec! I appreciate y'all!

I'm getting parts to build a pc and your videos for aesthethic builds are really helping know what I want for my own. Keep up the good work.

Love the case, love the camera work, love Bindi Time

I usually don't like cases with angular designs because they usually go too aggressive with it but with this one, it looks just right. I love this design.

Best build I've seen in this case so far in my opinion it's so simple and clean not over the top and not low effort just in the middle which is amazing

Man ! This case look sick🤩🤩

Nice build as always Gear Seekers and thank you for making the blacked out mATX build as I requested

Finally something different from case manufacturers! Its different in a good way too. I like the look, the design of it, and that it's a mATX case. They switched things up by turning everything upside down and i did not think i would like the look of it but i'm for sure loving it! Good video and editing work man! Keep up the good work!

Glad I found this channel !

Got this case right after I saw this video. And I LOVE IT! My thermals are so much better now! Great Video!!!

The slide out function got an audible wow from me. Even though I'm not in the market for a new case this looks super interesting.

You always build what i want to build nick, nice.

Been running this for my mobile pc setup, no hiccups here. Nice, compact, ready to go and sturdy

Fantastic video fans. This is an interesting looking case with a amazing build in it as usual

That looked sick

Great build :)

Damn!!!! Love it!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Man Antec is always releasing stunners

Sick as always

Just built in the a1 plus a few weeks ago, what fan layout would you recommend for a 5600x and 6700xt?

That will be the case for my next build.

I can't wait to build in mine

That memory is so dope, even with out rgb it looks good.

Awesome video, awesome build, interesting case from antec. Reminds me of some rocket launchers you see in games.

I'm going to buy this case, but what best gpu can I fit in there? And a good CPU altogether? since it looks like it'll get plenty hot for better components... but I want it really much. 😕 with roaring performance.

Awesome build fams. Do you test fist all the builds? Sweet b-roll as always. Interesting looking case, love how the whole internal chassis can be removed.

Love the drawer design, great innovative and exciting idea. I wish it was a liiiiiiitttle bigger, if it could fit a 280mm front rad and had a mesh top panel this would be an amazing pseudo-SFF case. If they made an ATX bigger size it'd be a great competitor. The drawer design is really great!

Looks massive

I was literally just considering to get a smaller case for myself as my phanteks p300 tempered glass broke and hasn’t been in stock for months. And this case supports micro atx which means I don’t have to buy any extra parts just transfer all my hardware. Thanks for the vid.

I dont get how the front can support 2 140mm fans but not a 280mm rad. Any chance one could squeeze in?

Finally i play with my comp on the left of my screen so it will be nice having the screen facing me since i cant have my computer on the right living in a room where my door is near my desk this will help a lot

reminds me of the old LIAN LI PC-65B Black Aluminum ATX Mid tower, it motherboard also slid out of the back of the case.

Did you used the antec fan controller?

I like watching Nick Finding out what makes things tick With builds that look sick Idk somehow I thought of a haiku on the spot.

Dang, I dig it.

reminds me a lot of the old silverstone tj08-e with the matx inverted layout but comparing the two i prefer the more plain look of the silverstone.

Whats the name of the song that plays during the cinematics?

Can this support radiators and AIO's?

I believe that Nick has the entire global supply of Katana RAM on the shelves behind him - so sleek yet impossible to find xD. Really enjoy the videos when you dissect and showoff builds that aren't the same tried and tested design. Keep up the good work.

Thank god the side panels come off. I'm a tinkerer and love getting inside and having a fiddle.

Can it fit a MSI Gaming X Trio?

Does the case allow teleportation?

Airflow and 2 sides exposure with such a case is the future of Premium cases I would believe. They did quite well and so did you!

It would be nice to hold mini dtx motherboard

I used to have those fans until I read the CFM output which was terrible. They sacrifice a lot of blade length for those ultra-thick RGB tubes. My 140mm Antecs were only a little bigger than normal 120mm fans and the Antec 120mm were tiny. If you must have RGB fans, lookout for Alpenfohn wing boost fans that have nearly double the CFM with the same rim light only thinner.

I looveee it! I want that case!

What a great looking case man. Shit dude I still haven't made my mind for my second PC lol

You had me at purple lit thumbnail.

That would be a tidy little DAW, noise levels?

Interesting case, but is it overall size smaller or bigger than be quiet! Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid Tower Case ?

I reckon if you had a GPU with RGB fans you'd see them but when we filmed this we didn't haven anything like that on hand.

You have the best eye for building hands down. Damn this case is pricey though

Man this Antec Dark Cubs is so ascetically pleasing, I am gunna do a Micro ATX build with this case for my next computer, I got a 7900 XT that should work nicely.

do a build in the o11 mini snow edition with a white asus 3080

Is it possible to invert this ?

"Test fisted" -GearSeekers 2021

What is the price going to bev

With these top mount/inverted GPU designs, in these small cases, won't that heatsink blast heat towards the CPU heatsink and overall put more heat in the case before it can vent? As opposed to having top mount fans? Seems like a terrible sacrifice just to see your gpu when you look down.

It's exactly the same as a regular orientation airflow wise.

Bro I wish you did a 1 hour cinematic highlight reel for the relaxation !

I really like the overall look of the case, I like the pull-off panels, and I love the design of the pull-out mechanism. I've never bought an Antec case but REALLY wanted to like this one. These are the reasons that I can't buy it for my build: - Both the front panel and the air fins on the front edges seem like they will be a nightmare to keep clean. - It needs to be slightly wider, taller and longer for better cable management, behind the motherboard and inside the PSU shroud. - It needs two 2.5" mounting positions on top of the PSU shroud which is probably too short to fit them in at the moment, so the whole case will need to be slightly taller. - It needs two 3.5" mounting positions behind the motherboard which needs to be wider to accommodate better cable management anyway. (See the Fractal Design Meshify S2 for reference.) - I wonder if inverting the motherboard will increase the temperature on the backplate of the GPU, as it now faces down and heat rises. Probably not an issue for most cards but might be a problem for certain ones notorious for higher temperatures. - It needs some decent mounting points for custom water cooling solutions. - The reset button was deleted? Really? Also just a note about PSU manufacturers. There needs to be a common standard for modular PSU cabling so that we won't need to make cables longer to add bling. Currently aesthetically pleasing cables need to be made as extensions because all the modular PSU manufacturers wire their cables differently. If they were all the same standard then nicer cabling could simply plug directly into any modular PSU without making the existing cable a long mess and creating a cable management nightmare.

I like it, reminds me in engineering of my Corsair 240 only updated and without dual chamber design. They should have included same options for top panel as front or at least make ventilated version as default. Point of GPU being up is to disperse heat better so why go with glass? I guess you can at least put it open at the top without a panel at all.

Amazing. Rare to see this kind of superb quality in KZread. You must have quite large capacity to store all those large files.

On antecs site, it says the 3.5mm jacks at the front are both audio and mic. Not one or the other. Thats cool, itd be nice if alot of cases went that way. Not really sure why it matters to only have one or the other but whatever lol

Please do a review on Fractal Design Meshify 2 Clear Tempered Glass White Case - Mid Tower

It's so good to see an mATX case (and air cooling!) after so long. The case isn't perfect but the video hits everything on my wish list. I like the inverted layout too, but it's a pity Antec didn't take advantage of the angles and go angled fans on the front, which would create a little more clearance on the GPU and a cool look, not to mention the lack of drive bays and that huge hole in the base. A small mATX case is good because it still allows putting an ITX mobo in it, so I'm surprised more manufacturers aren't going with that (+SFX-L). Just copy the Cerberus.

FINALLY, reasonable sized mATX case! But now I want inverted mATX case without all these fancy things, that make it larger.

Such a beautiful case... I wish there was a more budget version without the sliding mechanism (which I assume is a large part of what ramps up the price to 200+ euros where I live)... :( Thanks for the lovely video!

If it’s around $100 I’ll buy it

Antec !! please make a ATX version of this case !! wow Nick said the same thing as i wrote this lol ! love the mesh front panel design ! B-roll and color scheme is beautiful !! goodbye cat !

The case is sick, i hope they make a white version

Hot damn I love it

That gangsta lean!

I contacted Antec about making a newer version of this case and with a mesh top, i was told there are no plans to update this case......

Think it would be cool to do full custom water cooling with a thick 240 and a shorter video card block like the 3080 FE

Stop making me want to build another pc smh hah jokes aside tho great vid again keep them coming!

If this came in white/snow. I'd sell my ATX board and buy a microatx board to rebuild the rig. Love this case!

when he pulled the inside of the case out my eyes literally were like 0.0

Interesting case. But I wish the front and rear were not angled. It kind of dates it. A clean symmetrical design would have been perfect for me. With a vertical face and a simpler mesh front would make this a solid purchase for me.

looks like the razer cube from a few years back, but MATX instead of ITX. The Razer cube was actually an Antec case too. I like it! now if only i could get a gpu i might build a new pc. antec.com/product/case/cube-razer
