  • Use of coolers limited by height
  • All the small design flaws

  • Aside from the complete lack of any helpful instructions supplied by Antec, I found the Skeleton a pleasure to work with. I would, however, like to address the issues at this point. The motherboard tray when it works correctly is smooth as silk, but...

  • Makes testing components easier
  • HD audio connector too short
  • Antec’s Skeleton will make your life much easier when it comes time to swap stuff in or out, whether you’re doing it because you need to pretest components prior to deployment in other equipment or just because you’re tired of what you h...

  Published: 2008-11-25, Author: Scott , review by: pcworld.co.nz

  • Abstract:  Antec’s Skeleton case caused quite a kerfuffle here in the office when it first arrived. Those who actually knew what this collection of steel, plastic and fans was, went slightly gaga over the sheer audaciousness of the thing, while other less techni...

  • Abstract:  Without any remarkable performance numbers, what sets the Antec Skeleton apart from competing solutions is its ability to fit between what most of us would consider a case and an open test rack.

  • Abstract:  The Antec Skeleton is a great idea but a big disappointment. While the build quality is very high, you have to dismantle a large proportion of the case when installing and removing core hardware. The Skeleton is frustrating to work with from the outset...

  • We’ve never really had any case like this for review. The Antec Skeleton is nearly a PC enthusiasts dream. Its big mother 250mm fan will keep even the hottest of components cool at low speeds and with the 9 LED settings. It looks pretty fancy pansy...

  • Abstract:  Antec is responsible for some of our favourite PC cases. These include the super-quietP182 and the very affordable Three Hundred. Both of these are clever, but traditional, designs. The Skeleton, however, is like nothing weve seen before. Its desig...

  • The Antec Skeleton set out to bring a test bench configuration to a wider audience, making testing and swapping components easier while also looking extremely attractive. It certainly does have fantastic aesthetics, unfortunately though it is the desi...
