Default [TPU]Antec Readies Airy LanBoy Air ATX Case

Quote:
The case sports three 5.25" drive bays, two 120 mm fans which protrude, and the the front connectors, on the front panel. The area of the side panel covering the drive bays holds another two to three 120 mm fans, two more right over the expansion slot area. The top, again, is perforated, with room for two 120 mm exhausts apart from the usual one on the rear panel. The LanBoy Air awaits launch at CES 2010, which will be held in the coming January. It is expected to be priced at around 200 EUR.

Looks fricken nice IMO but seems overpriced even though it appears to be a pretty high quality case.

Also, looks like it'll get pretty dusty.

For anyone who's wondering,
200 Euros = 297.42 U.S. dollars

I wouldn't take that to a lan. It looks like you can spill a drink into it from just about any angle.

But you can't realistically compare Euros to US Dollars because computer stuff tends to be cheaper in the US

That looks disgusting.

Seriously; I wouldn't buy it for £20.

Antec have good airflow choices but their design really sucks imo.

Looks like someone went to the hardware store and bought some 1/2 steel tubing and some mesh then decided to make a case with it.

The outside looks like cheap plastic and it looks your cat will try to outrun the fans power but instead end up getting sucked up to the wall of the case.

Yeah, but people who like the case enough will still look up the conversion just for an idea.

That case looks like it has crazy airflow but it also looks like McGuyver made it out of bungee cords and mini I-beams.
