Antec C8 Curve Wood, Fans not Included, Wooden Front Panel, Super Wide Angle Single Curved Glass, Dual-Chamber Layout, Type-C, 360mm Radiator Support, RTX 40 Compatible, Full-Tower E-ATX PC Case

best case i’ve ever purchased
This is the easiest case to build in, lots of room, and looks great

Good case! I caution the 160mm fans, read on…
I like the design; the width may take you off guard though if you’re used to standard sized towers. My previous case was a Corsair 5000D, and although that one is like 1.5 inch taller, this Antec is about 2 inches wider and you really notice it; it’s a chonky looking boy!Sorry if the pictures aren’t the best; I took them 2 months ago but now the system is nestled in a spot that is hard to photograph.So why did I come back to review it now? I noticed a scraping sound coming from the fans and I was having a hard time figuring out which ones; the cpu tower? The gpu? Or the case fans? I checked multiple times to make sure there wasn’t some kind of debris like a stray wire (nothing). I found another reviewer here saying that they had trouble with the bearings on these Antec case fans and sure enough.. if I pull up some fan monitoring software, the scraping sound starts as soon as the fan header for the case fans reports anything higher than ~1300 RPM.Now, according to Antec’s website, I don’t even see a listed spec for the 160mm fans, but the 140mm fan at the rear is rated ~1500±150 RPM. So maybe the 160mm fans are within spec?My recommendation: just buy the version of this case that does not come with fans and populate them yourself with some aftermarket ones. If you NEED 160mm fans, Silverstone has some ‘Shark Force 160’ fans. Alternatively, if you live somewhere where the climate isn’t stinking hot, just cap the speed of these Antec fans to something less or equal to 1300 RPM I guess.Otherwise your fan bearings might squeal a bit. It’s mildly worrying; I can hear it over my headphones during high load and now I’m trying to decide if I bother with Antec support or just pop in some spare 140mm fans I have instead. Unrelated but I recently had an SSD and a mouse fail on me and, man, RMA’s are annoying.. It’s tiring..

Awesome
Great case

Used or damaged
Everything would have been fine if I wasn’t paying full price for what seems like a used case advertised as new it shows signs of damage and scuffs and i don’t have the time or the luxury to return the product as it’s for a build I need to finish on a certain time frame tbh just very disappointed with the lack of QC as nobody should have missed dings and scuffs nor sent what is most likely a used case advertised as new. Def would be cautious abt buying and wish I could get at least a partial refund if I was getting a used case. Not all damaged was shown either

Its pretty heavy, the only that I don’t like too much, but looks amazing. It’s easy to remove the panels without any tool, have a nice space in the back side for the cable management, with velcro bands and all very clear to connect. its big, then you can adjust a nice motherboard and a big GPU without any problem.I use a MSI MAG x670e tomahawk motherboard and a Radeon X7800XT Hellhound GPU , with liquid refrigeration of coolmaster. The fans that the case include are massive in the base (140) but not so noisy and with a good performance. Really great case COSPA.

Viel Platz. Auch für große CPU Lüfter Max 175 mm. Die mitgelieferten Lüftersenkschrauben eignen sich nicht sehr für die Befestigungsschlitze. Zieht man schrauben zu sehr an, wird das Blech leicht weggedrückt.
