Neat! [Posted on 2006-03-07]
Just got this case to add an X800XL with 500W+ PS to my machine.
Switching the board to this new case was easy and they give you plenty of spare parts just in case.
Make sure you point the back fan toward your CPU and turn the front fan around to blow the hot air out; I also added a PCI fan at the bottom of the case.
When playing games, I get around 38C for the case and in the mid 50's for the CPU and GPU. As far as I know, that's pretty good...
On negative thing is that Antec didn't have a back cover for my onboard stuff (USB, print port...). No big deal considering it's a pretty good case.
One more thing... Because it has 2 large fans, it could be noisy to some; I've noticed the difference coming from a Sony 430G case (pretty quiet).
BTW, carrying straps are also included if you want to take your machine on a trip with you (???).
Enjoy!

Pros: Style, Easy to work with, Lightweight. Good cooling. Noise -reducuing grommets for the Hard Drives. It's Silver!
Oh, and did I mention that it's got a JEWELRY BOX? (OK, so they call it a "Tool Box")
Cons: Being very light and made of aluminum, it can transmit noises a bit more than a steel case, so one should chose quieter components. The included case fans are noisy at 12v, but can be made to run on 5v or 7v with little noise.
I use mine as a Bedroom Media PC whose primary purpose is being a TV set/recorder. With a Pentium M based system and a very quiet Seasonic PSU (S12-330) there is no need for the noisy case fans to be turned on. As a result, this system is virtually silent and cannot be heard from across the room. The unique SILVER and Chrome finish looks great against a white bedroom set, and connecting the front case fan (at reduced voltage) results in a blue night light. The "Tool Box" is VERY EASY to convert to a well-hidden mini-jewelry box.
great product [Posted on 2007-01-10]
purchased another case from another company came broken twice, cheap quality, but purchaed this one from amazon and have not had any problems with it. You can not go wrong with an Antec case, they are simply the best.
Would Buy One a Third Time [Posted on 2007-02-24]
I bought my first Super LanBoy case back in November 05' and really liked the case. The design and construction is typical for what you would expect from Antec. Which is a quality product. The removable drive trays are a nice feaure, and the ventalization is more than adequate for cooling things down. The case has worked well and I recently purchased a second one for a friend's computer. I ended up installing a blue LED in the case itself, which looks pretty cool through the plexi side panel. The front fan has a blue LED from the factory.
About the only negative thing I can say about the case is that it's a bit pricey considering that it doesn't come with a power supply. If you're going to use a case like this, normally you'd want to be run a good power
supply which usually start in the $50 range. Overall buy this case if you like the style. You won't be disappointed.
200 bucks? [Posted on 2007-05-16]
I paid 95 at comp usa (known for being overpriced) over a year ago.
anyways, The case doesn't get the best air so I'd recommend getting more fans.
If you have problems with the front USB hubs (pc freezes when you plug something in them), unplug the very BOTTOM black wire.
