Antec LanBoy Case is Made for Super Air Cooling
Super free-flowing air case.
High performance PCs require good cooling, and sometimes that requires a case that's agreeable to airflow.
Antec has just revealed its latest case that's built for airflow, called the LanBoy Air. It looks like a regular PC tower in shape, but what sets it apart is that it doesn't have any solid walls. Instead, the case is composed of framed mesh panels that fans can be bolted up against.
According to PCMag, there are five 120mm fans – two on the front panel, two on the side, and one in the back – as well as room for up to 10 more fans.
The case is also modular, so you can change the positions of the drive bays or the power supply to where it'll work best for your rig. Antec says that this design can result in over 34,000 combinations.
The LanBoy Air costs $220 and is available in red, yellow, and blue trims.

That thing has good air flow and is a good dust catcher.
1) Antec hasn't just announced it, I saw pics of this at least a month ago.
2) JESUS, that thing's ugly!
It's been on sale at Overclockers for at least 6 weeks, and pre-orders for a month before that.
And why the hell would you want a modular case?
First the 200 and 600 cases were fugly, then Dark Fleet ruined my eyes, and now this?
What's up with you Antec? You used to be so sleek and pretty (and the 100 is actually regaining a lot of that).
Explosion in a mechano factory anyone?
I have 7 120mm fans in my CM Stacker 832...plus two gpu fans and the cpu fan...and that's loud enough, 10? Great for cooling but not for those with sensitive hearing.
surely a case without open mesh everywhere would create a faster flow of air through the case and over all of the components? flowing bottom to top, front to back as in any other enthusiast case draws heat up and away and gets the air where its needed most
