Antec Readies Airy LanBoy Air ATX Case

btarunr · Nov 6, 2009

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.

OMG bring back the days of the Super Lanboy! it's great to see something a bit more unique coming out again, and another Lanboy, it's been a while if I'm not mistaken?

MRCL · Nov 6, 2009

SWEET LORD, now that is something! I ususally dislike Antec cases, but this one is rather interesting.

I dont like this case :shadedshu. Well not only the dust can be the problem but also the noise !

chaotic_uk · Nov 6, 2009

what is it with all the ugly case's lately ?

twicksisted · Nov 6, 2009

it is ugly and the photos and lighting makle the plastic look a little on the cheap side... and yeah it looks like its gonna get real dusty real quick... but it is different I guess while still appearing to look functional... so thumbs up from me (though i doubt id ever buy one hehe)

BraveSoul · Nov 6, 2009

thumbs up here too,, wont buy it :banghead:

all those holes, looks very cool tho,, got to have dust filters with push and pull fan setup in a sealed case :respect:

InTeL-iNsIdE · Nov 6, 2009

I saw the word Lanboy and was like :rockout:

I always wanted a Super Lanboy II tho never got one

yes the cases industry is falling straight down, gone are the days of cases sophisticated and high quality like mines.

Yellow&Nerdy? · Nov 6, 2009

That case begs for some silent fans armed with dust filters.

Munki · Nov 6, 2009

This seems like something I would give as a Christmas gift

PP Mguire · Nov 6, 2009

A christmas gift after you won it off some forums cause you couldnt bare to sell the uglyness

mechtech · Nov 6, 2009

LOLZ

black mesh with some yellow framework original indeed

i like the dozen fans, because you need so much ventilation in a mesh case lol

perfect case if you have kids, the juice and cheerios will fall right though and land on the floor LMAO

I knew there was a joke for this kind of case, but you hit it on the head. It looks like it would make some young enthusiast really happy.

phanbuey · Nov 6, 2009
