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

I don’t even know where to really start here. I am really overwhelmed at the thought and engineering involved with delivering the LanBoy Air to the market. Offering it in three color choices of red, yellow, and the blue version we just looked at, An...
For the PC enthusiast, the Antec LanBoy Air is a recipe for success. The strong customizable construction is truly one of a kind, but delivers expectations higher that we initially thought. Not only is it customizable and modular, innovative features s...
It's hard for us to think of a gaming system that the Lanboy Air wouldn't be able to handle.The modular design and focus on cooling mean that it should be a stable home for even the most bleeding edge hardware. It also has more than enough room for most S...
We wanted to love the LanBoy Air, and in some ways we still do. The eye-catching design is brilliant, the semi-modular approach is unique, and there's ample room to house plenty of high-end kit. But given the £150 asking price, it's hard to ignore that...

Lanboy Air is targeted multiple market segments at the same time instead of just designing it for a single market. The handles, LED-fans and the cage for the power supply are for instance intended for the gamer and LAN-people. The possibilities in wa...
It's a good looking case, an interesting case, an impressive case in some senses; but I don't think it's worth the money. The fact that an enclosures with this many holes has no dust filtering is deplorable as it's going to get so damn dusty and dirty...
Starting with the build quality of the LanBoy Air we have a case with solid construction thanks to the steel frame which is internally reinforced. All edges are rounded and the painted sections are flawless. It was also good to see that the plastic se...
