Antec's One is intended to appeal to the mainstream market, offering a case that has many enthusiast level features at an extremely low price. Some of the finer features of the One include the two 120mm exhaust fans, tool-less drive installation, power su...
Abstract: Antec is known for computer cases of two types: with maximum soundproofing and with attractively-priced gamer-oriented design. The three relatively new products from Antec we are going to discuss here come from these two categories, too. The Antec One...

The Antec One gaming chassis brought a lot to the table for a mid-tower with an MSRP of $59.99. The USB 3.0 ports are a great addition to the One which we did not expect with such a low price tag. The different-oriented HDD bay, which only allows insta...

So does the Antec One deliver what it promises? I think so. The case, while small even for a midtower, wasn’t too difficult to work within with a little patience and preplanning. While the clutter could build up really quick with a lot of hard driv...
