Price (For Some)
Frequent Cleaning
No fan filters
PCI
E addon card slots have normal screws
No dust filters
Expensive (but worth it)
A little on the heavy side
May extend build times. Unique airflow system requires major mental rejiggering. Doesn't allow ultra-crazy configurations. Not tool-free. Fully outfitted system may be loud.
Pricey
Tool tray is screwed in place
Love-it-or-hate-it design
More plastic than we'd like
No way to mount external 3.5” drive bay devices
Cable management can be tricky
Plastic side panels
Some modularity features are not there
Such as the ability to mount drives facing the right of the computer
Not all fan mounts useful
Bit cramped at top
HDD mounts are somewhat scary.
Pretty Noisy
Motherboard Tray CPU Cooler Hole doesn't fit all Motherboards

Antec has done it once again by designing and manufacturing one of the best PC Cases i have ever seen to date and certainly the best one for LAN events. Personally i have to admit that I’m fonder of elegant, solid towers with good noise insulat...

I found this case to be very nice and it sure suprised me with all of its features, this is the first time that I actually use the manual so I wont miss all the features. I found it awesome that the case is modular and prepared for both tidy cables an...
Based on our testing, we can safely say that the Antec LanBoy Air is well ventilated and offers the best system cooling possible. It’s a lot like an open air test platform except you can actually carry it around without things fallout off or out of it....

The Antec LanBoy Air delivers on what it promises, and that is flexible customizability. When was the last time a case allowed you to mount optical drives facing the side panel? The addition of the removable motherboard tray is also noteworthy. Most...
While intrigued by the concept behind it, I wasn't completely sold on the Antec LanBoy Air's looks when it was first announced. Now that I've worked with one for a while, I would classify it as something that fell off a construction site and that can'...

As we talked about before, the Lanboy Air truly shines in cooling performance. It mimics the properties of an open-air test bench, while still providing the ease of movement of an entirely enclosed case. The Lanboy Air certainly isn't a quiet case, es...
While the LanBoy Air is unique and displays Antec's usual high build quality, there's a lot wrong with it. Making a PC with meshed exterior panels leads to a number of problems, while other design choices also cause concern.The mesh exterior not only prov...

The Antec Lnboy Air is like no other case you have seen. The modularity of the design allows the system builder a great amount of flexibility and compatibility. The case is well built, spacious, lightweight, easy to transport and all the things we have...

This radical enthusiast PC case is built for maximum flexibility, ventilation, and visibility. A few parts could have been more rugged for the price, but it remains a solid chassis for showing off your PC-building handiwork. ...
