Very good basic computer case
Antec has always been a good value for quality and performance computer products. This “old school” case with front external bay access is no exception. Not the thickest metal, but that makes for a light weight case with lots of room for my mATX motherboard and all the cables from the 500w power supply I purchased separately (this case does NOT come with a PS). At this price, I really don’t expect much, but Antec really delivers a good product. There seems to be plenty of air flow for my non-gaming PC build. I added an 80mm Noctua fan to the front just in case (no pun intended). ASUS mATX MB; AMD Ryzen5 5600GT cpu; ARESGAME AGV 500w power supply. Also, hot swap mobile racks in each of the two external bays (2.5″ and 3.5″). Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps!

New Standard
For those home users, especially older, this case is perfect.
While on the more traditional side, who cares when you are using NVMe. What I really like about this is the expanded 5.25″ and 3.5″ external bay. Some folks still want an ODD and this allows that.
Includes everything you need to install your MoBo and the expansion of some cool external bays.

Compact and Light Weight
I needed a small tower case for a computer build and worked great. The only problem I ran into was the hard drive cage interfered with the main power cable for the motherboard as well as the power and data connections for the hard drive. I was able to successfully relocate the hard drive cage. Also, the case fans are three pin which works but my motherboard has pwm headers (4 pin). So, I swapped out the case fans.

great case for budget build
I use this case for many workstation/office builds – works well simple design and decent airflow… also easy to repair inside components down the road…

Great Office-esque Case, Reasonable Quaility
Great caseâsimple and not too flashy, especially in an office setting. I built this for my mom, who doesnât like crazy lights or RGB rainbows on computers. The power button, however, feels a bit odd and too cheap; everything else feels reasonably well-made though. If youâre looking for a sleek and professional office case, Antec has it.
Question –
Very pleased
The case is laid out well, sizing was on the mark. Completed build in record time. Very pleased with this case. Picked it up for a good price. If similar price when creating a new build would buy again.

Worked fine for my purposes
I was looking for the least expensive case I could find to build a NAS with. Needed one that could easily hold more than two hard drives and I chose this one. Fit and finish is excellent – it’s a good looking case. No frills – which I didn’t need or want anyway.
If I have one comment, it’s that the case material, particularly the frame, is not the most rigid that you will find. However, as price was my primary factor, the case was perfectly fine and easily supports a small shelving unit that sits on it (case is horizontal).

Sharp edges on the outside? A bad sign! Avoid.
While overall this case is adequate for those just trying to build a cheap system, what I found extremely disgruntling was the sharp metal edges on the rear external I/O card retaining bracket. There are plenty of sharp edges inside, as well, but most cheap cases have that problem. And, like many cheap cases, the metal is very bendable and it’s easy to strip screws. I’m surprised a quality company like Antec would put their name on such a poor quality case. I tried a few of them, but we are a reseller and we just can’t have our customers getting seriously cut from just picking up their computer so we had to discontinue it. I found the Fractal Core 1100 to be a better choice.

Very flimsy and practically weighs nothing. I wouldn’t sit on it like I could with the old mid-towers. But overall, not too bad. I’ve seen and had better.
