Antec Teases Enthusiast Community with Skeleton Chassis
Antec is planning to take enthusiast PC chassis to the next level with the Skeleton Chassis. It breaks the mould with a design case-modders and overclockers would build themselves. It is an open-ended design suited for flat-bed setups ideal for benchmark enthusiasts and reviewers. The design is basically two stages stacked. The top stage holds the motherboard and the lower stage holds hard drives, PSU and related peripherals and wiring. The stages slide out, in case the user decides to use extreme cooling such as LN2 pots, etc. Otherwise, the arches above the top stage hold a powerful 250 mm fan to keep the entire stage cool.Specifications:
- 4 Drive Bays (External: 2 x 5.25in) (Internal: 2 x 3.5in)
- Optional: 4 x 3.5in; side panel mounted drive trays
- Layered tray design for greater system integration flexibility
- Seven Expansion Slots including room for 11in video cards
- cooling System: one top 250mm TriCool 3-speed multi color customisable LED Fan; one front 92mm HD cooling fan
- Motherboard: Standard ATX
- 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x FireWire (IEEE1394), 1 x eSATA, Audio (AC97' and HDA compatible) In and Out
- 0.8mm cold rolled steel
