The Antec Skeleton is a desperately frustrating product in so many ways, not least because we’d allowed ourselves to believe it could be something special, that it could prove that open air setups don’t have to just be for benchmarketeers like...
It’s an exciting enclosure. It’s actually the first one I feelt in a long while that I actually will use for a long time forward. For me this enclosure feels new and exciting and im looking forward to what the future brings for us....
To test the Antec Skeleton we first assembled our profiling hardware into NZXT Tempest case since it is known to have excellent air movement abilities. We then reviewed the two enclosures to see which one had the best idle temperatures. We then ch...
Innovative design, Fast changing of parts possible, Great airflow for the motherboard, Fairly quiet 250 mm fan, Motherboard tray design
All the small design flaws, Clearance issues, The tight lower compartment, The external drive bays

Abstract: No one from SPCR is in Taipei for Computex, but that doesnt stop us from bringing you exclusive photos, information and a video of Antecs aptly named Skeleton chassis.
Very unique aesthetics, 250mm fan provides lots of airflow to motherboard components and video cards, Quiet
Does not support fullsize tower heatsinks, No potential for water cooling system installation, Difficult to mount video cards, Difficult to route PSU cables and poor cable management features, External hard drive mounting not secure, Too expensive
