Hearing the name Antec makes me nostalgic for my early days in PC building. The Antec 900 and P180 were the gold standard when they came out for airflow and low noise respectively. This seems like the first promising case release from them in a long time. I appreciate that they didn't just make a glass box with zero airflow like most cases from 2014 - 2018.
Yep, and I still have their case circa 2004. Was way advanced for the time without breaking the bank. Sadly, gpu length retired the case. Now my 2009 case is being retired (Silverstone) due to gpu length as well.
Antec back in the day was famous for solid budget eco PowerSuplies, that green line up, amazin powersuplies. I really like what they are doing with their cases!
cool video ,, i bought this case ,,I LOVE THE BUILD ,, love the lighted ssds on the back ,, ,, best looking case ,, great cable management ,, lot of reviews online gave this case 99% out 100%,, i have used a lot of antec cases over the years,,, and antec power suppys
i really like this. i have a full tower NZXT H440. completely right with the rear fan. i have a 140 in the rear but there is not room for cable management, its very tight. i would give up a drop to 120 rear just to have a bit more space to run cables
I did my 1st full build and used the DF700 with its 3 front fans, rear extractor fans and a reverse fan on the GPU. Brought temperatures on CPU and GPU way down 😁
Ahh Greg you're so young! Back in MY day, which was about 12 years before your day, Antec was TOP tier. I can't tell you how many builds back in the 2007-2012 era used the 300-900-1200 models.
The built-in temperature monitor is a really nice touch. The case looks super classy and easy to build in. Front panel aesthetics look a bit dated. Nice work again, Mr. Greg.
I love what you did with the RGB. It looks really sharp. Antec seems to be back on track. I like many of their new cases. This one, the C8 and the P20C are fighting it out on my short list.
I love Antec's current cases. I myself use an Antec DF600 for my main and it's my favorite case I've ever owned, but this 1 FT looks awesome too. I might have to consider picking one of these up.
A friend of mine many years (around 1997 or so) ago gave me his Antec full tower case and it was 3 feet tall. Ginormous. But it had a hinged and detachable steel motherboard tray. Grab the latch, push to front of the case to move the tray forward enough to clear the I/O plate, and the top of the motherboard tray would fold down and lay flat on the desk. Lift up on the bottom of the tray to detach it from the rocker hinge. Made installing motherboards, swapping parts, cleaning CPU fans a cinch. PSU mounted at the top of case and left a foot of room from the bottom of the PSU to the top of an ATX motherboard. After installing CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and hard drives, you had 6 inches of room at the top front to figure 8 and ziptie the PSU cables. Hoopty heavy bastard, but I miss it sometimes. 😅
Greg is the worlds best salesman, only person who can persuade me to buy a new case or any item happily, I bought my Antec DP503 from one of Greg's sponsored videos too, case is an absolute beast!
Bitwit just reviewed this case as well. I wonder, did Antec do a publicity blitz? Hmmm...I wonder if JayzTwoCents has a build review? I've only had my Phanteks case for a year, and I really like it. But these new cases have me itching to move my components into a newer home already. Both you and Bitwit gave this case positive reviews. And the price is right, too!
I bought an Antec Full Tower with soundproof panels for my NAS build which was with an ITX board and an i7 processor. Boy, did it look weird but I can get up to 26 3.5-inch hard drives in the case so it worked out great. I was also able to put in a DVD drive so I could burn my DVD collection directly to my NAS. It turned out very nice and really, really quiet. I put it in my upstairs office and you don't even notice it even when running and updating. It transcodes so much faster than my TerraMaster 4 bay and will not need to be updated for quite a while.
At the risk of putting a hyundai engine in a maserati body, I purchased one of these for my old MSI Z270-A Pro i7 7700K. Amazing having all this room to work with. Now to save up for the maserati engine. :D
I bought an Antec 900 case like 16 years ago, and I was using it until 2 years ago. It had flaws with the top panel and the power button/usb/audio jacks breaking, but it was a great case, I changed out of it 2 years ago because the power button finally broke where I was not able to fix it. Removing the top panel was a serious pain in the keister, but they over the years have seemed to resolve a lot of those issues. I don't know if the 1 FT Case has Front mount brackets for things like DVD/CD drives or for a multi interface (memory card type reader).
I was thinking of getting the Corsair 5000D Airflow but this case is far more beautiful and highly more functional and less tint on the glass has me sold.
I really wish modern cases still came with a single 5.25" bay. Not because I want to mount a drive, but I could actually use about six front panel USB ports to delete the hub I'm using, and a 5.25" bay is perfect for mounting a front panel hub with a ridiculous number of ports.
I have pretty much had all sizes of tower. My second PC was probably a mid sized one, my third a small form factor one and my current one a full sized (just for the record my first PC was an old Dell office one running W98SE, and was a proper old school case that you laid on a table with a 2.5 inch floppy drive & CD and had the monitor on top). While I am limited on space (especially since I upgraded my monitor to a 32inch), I prefer my full tower over any of the cases I had before. Just looks better even though it isn't fancy (no tempered glass or LEDs unless you include the red fanlights)
My Cooler Master H500P mesh with the top removed while gaming is perfect for me and will be for a long time. 360 AIO up top exhausting without any obstruction and wide enough to fit the 4090 with a cable not bending too much, basement crap removed to let air flow straight to the gpu and no annoying front dust filter as it's built into the front mesh so I just vacuum the front panel as is. Super simple maintenance and great airflow.
Looks like a big case. I really would have loved to have this case option before I went out and got the Corsair 5000D. (The 5000D has issues that make building in it a lot harder than you think.)
I have that case, it can be a pain for sure especially if you have 6 fans running from the front. I found taking out the two cable trays gives you a decent amount of room to work in
My issue with 5000D is the lack if included fans. It gives you only 2 120 mm fans (for airflow versions), which means you gotta shell out a lot more to get extra fans...
@@sinakhodaie Sadly most cases don't come with fans, especially for how much they charge for it. But as for fans though you can get decent ones for pretty cheap. I bought 2 sets of Asiahorse FS-9002 (10 fans) that work great
@@sinakhodaie If you're really gonna build a custom system you probably would never use what they included with the case anyways. The 1000D comes with no fans for that same reason!
@CareyHolzman swears by the Corsair 200R, but he builds PC's for business and not concerned with RGB and fancy stuff....just builds functional, reliable PCs.
This looks like a well designed case. The only thing I don't like is the glass back panel, which in having necessitates the need for additional metal panels underneath to hid the wiring. Just put a metal back panel on, and be done with it. That said I could definitely see myself building in this case. I have an Antec P101 Silent that houses my home server. If the build quality of this case is as good as the P101 then it's a solid purchase.
Amazing build, could even throw some M.2s in there in addition to the SSDs as well if you wanted. Love the look of the all black or white LEDs. GREAT VIDEO!
Only thing I've would have wanted to see was perhaps two 120mm fans in the bottom pulling in air. Using the 3 140mm infront as intake and bottom the same and top and back as outtake.
I think Antec was the first one (this was in the mid to late 2000s) to create the PSU basement design, I think. This one does look very nice, although there’s a lot of options out there at this price point
honestly glad Antec is back in business with this case, looks great. way back, I have had antec cases and PSUs - they were good - then Antec brand sorta "went hiding"
Hi Greg I like the case. I am a big case person mostly for the comfortable building aspect of it and air flow / cooling. This looks like a winner to me. By the way I like your channel. I never miss an episode.
6:52 should have said " antec wanted to go with theses drives" Since all creators that got this case were also sent those same drives to use to show off the glass panel. no one uses sata drives as main drives anymore, or at least not on a higher end build.
I went with the tomahawk z790 e-atx, i7-13000k with a msi subprime Rtx 4080. I place my AIO on top but there is much more room with the Cooler tubes coming of the front because you can slide the radiator really far back as there is enough clearance between the rear 120 fan and the radiator.
I hate to admit but this seems to improve upon what my Fractal Torrent has going on. I too never really considered Antec too seriously before. This has me very intrigued. It looks great and builder friendly
I really love the design of the case; both cosmetically and functionally. My only personal gripe is the lack of option for an optical drive. I use a Blu-ray burner to make redundant back-ups of my DSLR photos and photo edits. And while I know I could use an external one, I don't think it would look as clean plus it would block the top fans a bit.
I'm going to use this case with a CORSAIR RM850x Shift PSU. I wanted to buy an Antec PSU but after comparing them with the new Corsair PSUs the decision was easy.
I only use full towers….got big hands and don’t want to break things…..old case is a cm haf 932. New case is a rosewill Thor v2 all white with blue fans
Was that the BIOS screen showing the temperatures. I liked the animated fans spinning. I'm going to update my build soon and was looking at this case and MSI's 700r. I'm leaning towards a full MSI build.
You forgot to do like Nitwit and flex on how many parts you have and how much they cost, very important to the build quality of a case. 😅 Another great review, and cool build Greg.
My early builds were Antec cases. Later on I switched to Corsair cases. I like what you did here. My current setup is starting to get long in the tooth. I'm starting to get the wander lust feeling again. I may simply reproduce the system you built here. Nice simple instructions and a simple build. I've never used a water-cooled system before though but this setup looks like a breeze.
I bought this case. It arrived today. Waiting on a psu replacement. I bought one that could not support the Mo board and the 4090 as it only has 4 8 pin cables. Duh. Exchanging it tonight.
It is a nice case, Though there seems to ve an overarching desire by so many cases these days to be able to see into them. Personally, I prefer performance, which means, can you hide it and have it both super quiet and powerful? It would almost be interesting to build a silent desk type PC that maybe even uses a server draw style to hold the components... But silence and dark is good if you want to fully focus on your game you are playing...
It would be awesome if they sold these in Brazil, we are in need of some good cases that aren't so overpriced like - cof Corsair ones cof - others in here
The motherboard bios version F8c 11:02 could be updated to the latest version F10a: "Support DDR5 48GB/24GB high capacity DIMMs. Fix TPM 2.0 potential vulnerabilities". Corsair Vengeance DDR5 is available in 48GB sticks, or 2x = 96GB.

I just built in the antec DF700 flux and absolutely love it . I feel like they are definitely on the right track
Being nostalgic for the antec 300 and 900 it's great to see them make a comeback
That thing looks like a beast
Antec back in the day was famous for solid budget eco PowerSuplies, that green line up, amazin powersuplies. I really like what they are doing with their cases!

I liked and built in the 900 cases but this one is the new cream of the crop.
If only there were some nice MATX cases like these.
For Antec MATX the nx410 is stunning for the price

It's not bad for a full tower, but I think a case like the Hyte Y60 is a lot more aesthetically pleasing
