Am I the only one who feels like Antec... was created by garfi3ld
Am I the only one who feels like Antec isn't even stepping up to the plate anymore? Back in the day their 900 was THE case to get. The skeleton was cool. But I can't think of any case from them that I would just HAVE to get at this point. I'm not pointing this out to be mean. I and honestly a little disappointed. I think Thermaltake, CM, Corsair, and a lot of the other manufactures all have something good to offer. It just hit me tonight for some reason about Antec. Maybe I'm missing something.

Every case has problems. More than anything your case is getting a little bit long in the tooth.

The DF-85. You can only design so much before it all starts looking the same.

The Dark Fleet Series wasn't to bad.


Most of the other manufactures have still been innovating and bringing out new designs.

I have never been a fan of their cases. You want a case that screams "I would rather have this then my next meal if I was broke" and Antec just doesn't do it for me.

Agreed. I have been using a 900 since 07'. When I started spec'ing a new system this past summer, Antec didn't even register on my radar. Maybe part of it is that I'm kind of tired of an air huffer for a case. I have to take this 900 apart every few months for a thorough cleaning and it irritating. I was looking at a NZXT Phantom black & orange Newegg edition, but more recently (yesterday) I started to see what Fractal Design was offering in a full tower and I'm really liking the Define XL.

All I know is that I despise my Antec 900, and I want to blow it up, :) All it does is create noise and is a dust trap, and not easy to work with, horrible cable management, the window on it is THE CHEAPEST plastic they could use, i've went through 2 windows already, and i could go on for about a day about how I dislike this case. :D
