ANTEC AX61 Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case with Mesh Front Panel, ARGB Fans, Tempered Glass Side Panels, 360mm Radiator Support

Wonderful Case!
I did quite a bit of research while looking for a case for my new build. I came across this Antec DP503 and it had some very good reviews. I wanted the USB C on the case and it came with 3 120mm fans already installed. I got it for $114 which I didn’t think was bad at all for this quality case. And I do really think it is great quality. The sides were easy to get off with thumb screws, there is a TON of room inside for my standard ATX board. It did take a while to run all the cables to my mother board, etc, but that is because there were so many options with the rubber grommeted holes. I liked the screws for the add on PCI cards, they hold them in placed quite well. The case is very quiet and my AMD 5600x usually runs around 50 degrees and has never gotten above 70. And the RGB lights are great! I really wasn’t interested in RGB, but now that I have them it really adds fun to the case. Overall I am super satisfied with this case. I would highly recommend it.

For the price I paid (Around $100 US, with shipping) I am very happy with this case.
The case is actually great for the size and features.First, yes the materials are a bit thin and cheap, so not the ‘premium feel’ and edges can be sharp, so careful when installing, but it does have the rubbery inserts to protect your cables from rubbing and getting damaged, so that is fantastic.The GPU bracket holding arm – is actually why I picked this case over a similar. With GPUs’ being huge and having sag issues, it is almost required to have something to help get to the “front right” corner of the GPU to keep it from sagging. This has an adjustable little arm with rubberized coating on the tip to keep from scratching (and reduce vibration noise from GPU through the arm) – and works great. Best of all it is rather discreet. looking more like a cable adapter than a sag-prevention system.The next obvious thing is “the fans” – they are RGB, they have a controller, and they work pretty well. They don’t appear too loud or anything either, even pushing them to full speed. Are there better fans? Sure, but these essentially were free with the case, so, a huge bonus. (similar ‘higher quality” fans with RGB could easily be $15 each on the low end)My main reason for this case was the need for the ability to install a 360mm radiator on top. There are not many cases that allow this, and while installation was a bit tedious, the end results are pretty great. It was my first time using an AIO and radiator, and I tally up my fumbling to that over case design.The design of the case also allows for magnetic mounting antennae (like for Wifi/Bluetooth) to easily happen on top rear of the case, or even the (back) side if you needed.The pre-wiring wasn’t fantastic, and there was not a ton of room behind the back side panel for wiring, but it is possible with a bit of time and a lot of cable ties.I am happy with it. I have had it for a few months of use now and honestly, just taking the time installing everything and figuring out wiring made it all come together. I shouldn’t need to rewire anything for a long time, so that won’t be another problem for some time. Top access USB will take some getting used to (and maybe some 90degree extensions, to prevent thumb drive damaging) – and I would consider getting some silicone USB and audio plugs if you don’t use the ports often- as they will catch dust.The magnetic top ‘filter’ I find rather useless, unless you turn your system off often. Mine forces air UP through it nearly all the time- so dust has no time to settle into the system, but if you had it off, maybe it would be of use? The front filter was easy to clean after a month of build up, although the shapes did require a bit more than a “quick brushing’ to get in the crevices.

Great case, great value.
Very easy to work on, spacious, very attractive. Note that the RGB fans require the 3-pin RGB controller not the 4-pin, so ensure your motherboard has it. If not, then it does come with an integrated button on the top of the case which lets you cycle through the RGB modes.

Airflow & Cool
Great price for performance with this case. You get 4 case fans, 3 for inflow and 1 in the back for exhaust. Easy to use changing the light of the fans. There is a button at the top of the chassis that cycles through all the lighting options.Most importantly, it keeps my system very cool and can’t go wrong with a glass case panel on the side

I dont know why they can design the case so bad at 2023, it can’t even fit 240mm AIO at the top, it will gonna stuck with the ram. Fan design speed not able to control! Totally FAIL product!

Be extra careful with the tempered glass when you remove it. If you move it slightly backwards, it can fall and break. Unfortunately, tempered glass is not covered under warranty, and replacements aren’t typically provided. If you’re lucky enough to get a replacement, you have to pick it up in person as they don’t offer delivery.I decided to get a new case because the cost of replacing the tempered glass, including Uber fees, brought the total to nearly 8K. I opted for a new MSI case instead. I’ve heard that MSI sometimes offers free glass replacements, and if they don’t, they will deliver the glass to you.Overall, the case is good but can be better
