    I am really liking Antec's resurgence.

  • @t3amb4sh
    @t3amb4sh 23 дні тому +9

    I needed Antec's after sales support.
    Guys. Antec is the winner.
    They are EXCELLENT on that department.
    Needed a left side glass panel replacement for Performance 1 FT, which was probably scratched by the couriers. They send me a new one, only some photos sent by me and an RMA form (provided by them) that was not gibberish (ASUS , I am looking at you). In about a month (they needed to receive the panels in EU - they're in Netherlands, I live in Greece), they did send the panel, excellently packaged.
    Antec is back!

      Same here my man, recently pulled out all the drive cages and removed the cage part and kept the fans in, replaced all fans with Noctuas but it's taken me from my Core2Quad days to my 7800x3d and everything in between.

    So Nice to see Antec 'Back in the Game!' My 1st decent PSU was an Antec 400 Watt model & my 'Home Server' is housed in an Antec 200 Tower!

  • @burnitdwn

    Used to love my P180, it had a bunch of drive bays, kept things decently cool, and was generally quiet thanks to all the dynamat and drive vibration dampening.

    Man, that Performance M1 has GOT to be in my top 3 favourite cases design-wise, ever. That industrial looking front panel is so sleek. Kudos to Antec's design department.

    The 900 & 1200 will go down in PC chassis history. Back when the CM HAF & HAF X were Antec's primary competition. Good times.

  • @hang10wannabe
    @hang10wannabe 20 днів тому

    As someone who built like 14 computers in the ANTEC 300 and 302 cases back in the day because of how cheap and well built it was... it's nice to see ANTEC making a come back!

  • @lhbbq
    @lhbbq 23 дні тому +3

    The Antec: Performance 1M-WOW! Nice! It would be nice to see that case in a MATX version with a dual 360 RAD (top/Bottom). Or a single 25mm ran with a 60mm RAD in the top only, with vertical GPU support.

  • @Bluestreak589
    @Bluestreak589 22 дні тому

    Good to see Antec waking up... I used their cases and PSUs for about a decade until they fell asleep at the wheel. Like the idea of rotating the PSU 90 degrees. Might be a case I look closer at when I get to pushing my 5950X to secondary status in favor of a fully new machine... Hopefully in the fall.

    I'm an ITX guy but I like seeing full size (and often way too heavy due to all the glass) ATX cases for their airflow and often good solutions for cable management.

    My home server is in an Antec 900 case I bought in 2006 I think it was.. I don't know how they are built today but this old case is a Tank. It has not rusted the pantjob has no chips. It has the same components I put in it when I bought it.

    I'd like to see them re-vamp their VSK HTPC-style case (top cpu cooler venting, side fan mounts for slot cooling, SFX/ATX psu compat, $75-100 price point) to compete with Silverstone's ML series. Maybe add a version with a risered GPU ala the ML07.

    @iamdmc 23 дні тому

    Ah the Antec Sonata series
    quiet in a time when computers would thunder with low quality fan rattle, HDD read arm seek and click, CD drive spin, floppy drive read, and so much more... it was truly the best case of the early 2000s
    Had a few Antec cases over the years but none were as good as the Sonata series and ultimately their newest cases didn't impress
    It says a lot about Lian Li's O11D that 5 years later everyone is still copying the design, and the only case I'd consider replacing my O11D XL with is another O11D like case with curved tempered glass... maybe electrochromic glass

    Have issues with Antec too. Had a questionable power supply from them, contacted and didn't receive a reply. Tried again, nothing. Got a bit testy with the next one and they sent back a reply with a virus attached to it. Started a complaint with the Attorney General in their state then they apologised. This was a long time ago, haven't bought anything from them since. Lots of awful tech companies out there.

  • @stevenszmek7007

    • @t3amb4sh
      @t3amb4sh 23 дні тому +1

      I bought Antec Performance 1 FT , for 160€. Which is roughly what you would ideally expect in EU from a $160 MSRP. I live in Greece , where some of those stuff are worse and yet, Antec, manages to keep things down to earth. I used to love this company, I really missed them and now I feel they're back at it!

  • @fearsomechicken4407
    @fearsomechicken4407 23 дні тому +1

    I'm really excited about the antec flux pro, the fact that the 2x 120mm bottom intake fans are designed to fit underneath the mesh panel means it can create some nice rgb glow through the mesh holes, perfect for highlighting vertically mounted gpu without being too busy looking. Or non-rgb users can just slap on the highest performing fans down there without worrying about the "ugly" side of the intake fan.

    I have a lot of respect for Antec, but like you say they kind of dissappeared. I have a NAS in an old Antec case that I bought in 2007, it has the original 120mm fans which were kind of a new from factor at the time, i had them in my main PC for 10 years then in my NAS for the last 8 years. I also had an Antec 600 (from 2010?) with the huge 180-200mm fan in the top and 3x120mm, my friend now uses it. None of these fans have failed. Way better than any other brands i have used other than Arctic and Noctua which aren't old enough to have proven themselves as reliable.

    Very few are iterating on the Asus AP201 Matx case design, we need more designs based on that that are budget oriented due to ITX high cost and also gives more airflow to all the components.
