Antec is one of the better known case manufacturers on the market, much thanks to its ability to design and produce quiet, cool and stylish cases. Maybe not as exclusive as the Lian-Li cases, but still by far among the better looking cases. Anand got a sneak peek of one of its upcoming cases and it does like a bit out of the ordinary. Skeleton is an open design much like the benching platforms I'm sure you've seen glimpses of here at NH (I.e. through the clouds of gaseous nitrogen).

Skeleton is basically a motherboard tray with a compartment below where you can install your power supply, CD/DVD burner, harddrives and other dealies. Hovering above the motherboard is a 250mm fan. The "case" should become available in September.

It's a fun concept, but I'm a bit undecided on it, as it's covered on the top.

Hmmm.. nice design for a prototype but i doubt its functionality... I mean what about dust, exposed components, etc? What if someones pet decide to play with the video card? Very Happy
Does it has a cover or something, because in the photos i dont see anything..

It has impressive looks though...

This is pretty much it. I've requested one though, we'll see what they have to say Wink

Sexy semi-benching/test bench Smile

Dust? Meh. Nothing that a few shots of compressed air can't fix once in awhile.
