Antec One Mid-Tower Gaming ATX Case Black 3X5.25 5X3.5 2X2.5 Front USB3.0 Top Rear 120MM Fans No PSU

Comment:
I bought this for my new system. Got 5 fans inside, plus 2 fans on the cpu heatsinik, and 2 video cards with 2 fans each. This thing stays cool even under stress. I love the simplistic look, I love the finish, its a great mid-tower, but the space for video cards is very low, not to mention the awkward positioning of the 2 ssd mounts, one on top and one on the bottom, but hard to access. Would've preferred them to be together.

I like the design, but I received a defective back panel. I got it to work with considerable effort, but the result is ugly. It makes me wonder about the QA process if a panel that skewed got riveted into place despite causing a bend in the top piece. If I had more time, I would have returned unit for a replacement--but there are shipping costs, etc. As a first time builder, more instructions would have been helpful. Figuring out how to mount the hard drive was a real puzzle, not having done this before! A picture on the use of the mounting pieces would have saved me some time, but the instructions were limited to a tiny sheet.

Got this case for a new build and I really like how the hard drives are accessed from the opposite side of the motherboard.Great Ventilation.

I like Antec Cases, no crazy LED lights and a simple solid basic case. I like it. The material is good too and plenty of ventilation. A great case especially for it's price. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-27-14 07:28 AM

This is an OK case, however If I could go back I would not have purchased this case. The video card I bought to go with my build had an extra inch of plastic after the PCB which made it impossible to fit in this case. I couldn't even remove the hard drive cage to fit it in. I had to cut off an inch of plastic hanging over the PCB to just fit the GPU in and I may have possibly voided the warranty. If you are around the $60ish dollar case range I highly recommend you look at some of the Corsair cases, they have much better quality cases for the money, I will never purchase an Antec case again after this. Antec used to have some of the best budget cases on the market, the 300 for example. Now It seems Antec is dying and I see why now.

Overall Antec delivers once again, showcasing a great matte black finish and a solidly built case

Needed an upgrade to fit a new motherboard, and was not let down by this. reccomended: buy if fits :P

Comment:
Good value and good looking case. Not that much of place to cable managing in the back however, the hard disk cables are tight when the side is closed. Not that much of an issue, very good case overall.

My step son was on a budget building a gaming computer, but still wanted something that looked decent. This case fits the bill perfectly. It is nice looking, and has lots of cooling. Drive installation is easy, and the cable management area under the motherboard tray was tight, but enough to keep the working area inside the system open to allow for better cooling. It is very well built for such an inexpensive case. The metal isn't super thick, but there are no sharp edges, and it doesn't feel flimsy. I liked this case so much that I bought one for myself.

Good case if you want to spend less than a 100$. It's well made.

Comment:
First build in several years so glad I bought this case

Comment:
I really like that case. It does everything you need to for such a small price.Cable management went well and it also keeps my components cool enough for me to overclock them.

Comment:
its a great starter case but has crap wire management.

Comment:
Great case for pretty much all build. Only thing is to clean the dust off constantly due to the open air meshes all around. Antec is the best!

Comment:
good antec build quality. basic design looks good and fits most hardware

Comment:
Great case for a basic system; it has front USB3 and doesn't cost much.

Comment:
Great case all in all for the price. Very compatible with modern PC builds!

Comment:
Awsome case, thinking about shrinking my own premium ultra silent case for this budget case.

Comment:
so this was $60 last year and now a year later it is $40. i think i have waited long enough so i bought it.

Over all I am very happy. Would give it a 4.5 if I could, but it is a great value for the price. The build quality is definitely cheap, but I expected this. I don't tinker too often so the stiff doors shouldn't be a major concern. The door screws are nearly impossible to move without tools, but the doors stay put without them anyway. I really like the cable management. Antec has always been my favorite case maker. I upgraded for the USB 3.0 top mount headers.Other than having to replace to mobo mounting screws and fighting with the doors a bit, the case is very light, but sturdy. Air flow is excellent with two 120mm fans and the PSU fan. This Haswell build was easy. Mounting the optical drive required included slide in rails (no screws to worry about), and the HDD required rails as well. My SSD slid in firmly without rails. All cabling tucked out of the way to ensure excellent air flow. The front 5.25" bays have foam insulated removable covers to help dampen the noise. With my i5 4570 CPU, the whole system is near silent, even when doing some moderate gaming.Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a stylish simple case on a budget. I was considering other brands like BitFenix and Fractal Designs, but I am very happy with the price/performance of my choice.

Great little budget case, does everything a budget case needs to do. Recently sold mine to a friend and changed to a new, larger case. Friend is happy with his new Antec One.

Comment:
This is very much a budget/entry level case. Antec doesn't do a bad job, but some improvement could be made.Front and rear side panels stick and are difficult to remove/replace.No top cutout for the 8 pin and not possible to route the cable behind the board.Cable routing options are poor and the rear door should have the "bulge" a little further forward to make running cables in behind the mobo a little easier.Nice to see two fans (basic) included, and the filters on the case.Not sure why the all black in a windowless case.

I think i had a lemon, the door gets stuck real easy and it's super hard to take out.. Oh well..

Comment:
Its a great case, for me better then the Coolmaster K350. More space.

Good case for the money, would recommend.
