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
Exceptionally functional, Easy to move, Fan control on all 5 pre-installed fans, Very spacious
Looks aren't very appealing, Will attract dust
Antec have had some tough criticism lately with the visual appearance of their cases splitting enthusiasts into "love it" or "hate it" camps. Certainly today's case under review will again be under this type of scrutiny from a visual aspect. On first...

Como conclusión final nos gustaría comentar que la Antec LanBoy Air nos ha sorprendido por su diseño innovador. El fabricante ha hecho de ella una caja sobre todo práctica, utilizando para ello toda la experiencia que ha acumulado durante años...
Es la primera vez que nos encontramos con una semitorre de estas características; una caja totalmente desmontable, perforada en toda su estructura y un sistema de ventilación imposible de imaginar en cualquier otro modelo convencional. Su arriesgado di...

Diseño curioso y funcional a partes iguales, Diseño modular y compartimentado, Con ventilación de serie y opcional de sobras, Amplia distribución interior
Se echa de menos un eSATA frontal, No apta para bolsillos timoratos,
No podemos comparar la Antec LanBoy prácticamente con ningún otro modelo que hayamos visto. Ni tan siquiera se le aproxima la famosa Skeleton, del mismo fabricante, ya que el concepto era parecido pero bastante distinto: la Skeleton buscaba el acceso d...
Ce dossier touche à sa fin et voilà ce qu’il en ressort : le LanBoy Air est bruyant, son design ne fait pas dans la demi-mesure et plaira ou pas, son look justement l’empêchera de trôner dans certains salons par exemple et enfin le métal Mesh et les pl...
Ventilation efficace, Modularité inédite, Un look inimitable
Pas de filtre, Trop de vis, Prix trop élevé
Antec a signé avec ce LanBoy Air un boîtier pour le moins surprenant. Outre son design particulier, sa conception en fait une tour qui sort clairement de l'ordinaire: jamais nous n'avions pu désosser à ce point un boîtier. La modularité du LanBoy Air est...
Conception, Modularité, Dispositif HDD (vibration), Plateau CM amovible, Ventilation en Low, Organisation des câbles, Bonne rigidité, USB 3.0, Design
Prix, Certains plastiques, Pas de filtre, Dispositif HDD (maintien), Emplacement SSD dans le fond, Pas d'adaptateur 3.5"
Après des Dark Fleet moyen moins, Antec nous revient donc avec un ancien Hit Parade remis à jour, le Lan Boy, dans sa déclinaison AIR. Un boitier qui fait de l'effet, c'est certains, de part son design unique, coloré et très meshé. Mais ce qui fera ou ...
Une modularité bien présenteUn boîtier vraiment particulier, le mot est faible. Il propose effectivement une modularité appréciable. La façade par exemple, c’est une petite révolution en elle même. Avoir la faculté de la personnaliser, supprimer cer...
