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

The new Antec LanBoy Air is a highly customizable enthusiast chassis that pretty much anyone that can use a screwdriver can modify. The ease comes at a price, though, but for some $219.95 is a small price to pay for that ease. ...
