Antec Skeleton

I was surfing around on NewEgg, something I haven't done in awhile and found this.

I like this case a lot, I wouldn't buy one for myself, just because my house is dusty, but still. The idea of a completely open air case is awesome.

The one thing that stands out the most is the lack of more hard drive slots, that would be a problem for me, as I have 4 HDs.

applaud the effort to think of something that is literally outside the box, but it is just so ugly, and the dog would have a field day.

only reason i didn't buy is because i love to sound proof, and there is no way you could sound proof anything in that case

I saw that once and didn't get it because of dust. I think Dust kills more computers then anything else.

It'd be a great case to surround with box fans.

agreed. i wouldnt ever buy this case. One too small for me. and two its a great idea just done wrong.

I would already have one if it didnt cost $150
that is crazy $$$ for that case but I do like it
why does the thought of dust bother you
just clean it here and there
now if there are young people (that would drop things on it) in ure house then I
would not get it !

there's a GREAT write-up on this case over at maximumpc.com

the only reason i would see for purchasing a case like this would be as a test bed. other than that i just don't think it's very practical. way too easy for dust to get to the system, no protection for the parts, noisy, etc. it's an awesome concept and i love that they went WAY outside the box for this case design, but i think it's lacking.

i actually just talked to a friend of mine who owns it.

he said he virtually never has to deal with dust, and as for space he has two 9800's in it :O
