Antec Readies Airy LanBoy Air ATX Case
Antec is preparing the airy, new Lanboy Air ATX case. The new case will be one of Antec's star attractions at CES 2010, where it will be launched. The sporty design looks to be massively modular, from the looks of it, users could completely dismantle it. Several shards look to be connected to each other, which make for the case's various panels. Each of these has a steel mesh for high airflow. These, in combination with the black, grey and a dash of yellow, give it a subjectively industrial look.
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.

passive cooling FTW!!!
I don't think it looks too bad to be honest - looks "fun". I would however be terrified to use it - if i spilt a drink anywhere near that thing there's nothing to stop it hitting the components so you may as well use a workbench.
This case does look pretty ugly tho.
The hard drive slots were not secure enough to hold my hard drives in. The holsters fit the slots very loose. I even had one drive slip out of the slot, and the desktop was never moved. Good thing the machine wasn't running.
I want to take a sledge hammer and smash it to hell.
I never been so disgusted by a computer case.
When I am done I will take all the pieces and shove them into the designer's @$$.
Must have fired the old designer.
I would have to install dust filters or something.
Need to carry cans of air to spray it clean all the time.
I KNOW ITS UGLY AS A PIGS ARSE BUT DAMN SOME REASON I THINK IT LOOKS BADASS I MEAN COME ON IT LOOKS LIKE A DYSON VACUUM CLEANER!
DEAR ANTEC, BRING BACK THE REAL LANBOY!!!
