The Antec Skeleton
« on: October 08, 2008, 11:05:11 AM »
JUST when I am considering upgrading my case to either the Antec 1200/Cooler Master Cosmos 1000, along comes daniboy with this gem...

THE ANTEC SKELETON



The link above goes directly to Antec's website, where you'll find more pics, and specs,
but you can't appreciate how UBER this case really is until you download and read the manual.

...and yeah, that top fan is two hundred and FIFTY mm !!!  :awesome:

Its just been released.  Prices vary between 138 and 160 US.  Not bad at all.
This will make a really GREAT testing case, as the mobo tray is removable, ODDs are 'quick release', HDDs are side mountable.

WOW.....just, wow.

I am liking this VERY much!!!

From an HSE standpoint a vacuum is the better option as opposed to compressed air. I remember the HSE course stating something along those lines. The human skin is exposed on avg to ~1atm of pressure and does not take much more than that to have gases penetrate the tissue. If poisonous chemicals are able to permiate your skin because of elevated pressure, it can get into your blood. You get the idea. So their recommendation was vacuum vs. compressed air. The cans are already either borderline or able to penetrate your skin if used incorrectly, FAR less for a COMPRESSOR.... O_o

That aside, that is an EXCELLENT workbench platform... I don't quite consider that a CASE.... XD

I concur as 'workbench platform'.  It could also make a very wicked LAN rig.

^^^ Exactly, but I try to use the vacuum mostly on the outside of the case.
I use it sparingly on the inside.  I have an intense phobia of breaking off a capacitor from something,
or sucking off an important jumper.

do we really have that much toxic waste inside our pc's that we cud get poisoned ? just open a window or a door then pressure is regularized. compressor or atmos in a can is just cool for me.

yea i is a mortal dust is my bane yes. well i guess it eh go be that bad considering pc's collect dust enough to cause heat increases within a period of like 6-9 mths of non dusting lol so....

The case HARD XD

T-Up to sum1 who can do cable management in that...
that'll look more or less like a jumbled set of wires...

and no matter how "clean" you think your room is... dust will exist... unless u planin to have a sanitation outside ur room or something, or phasing through the walls to get in/out etc  :awesome:...

i think that case makes an excellent test bed, but wont recommend it for long term use
