Antec C8 Wood, Fans not Included, Wooden Front Panel, Dual-Chamber Layout, Type-C, 360mm Radiator Support, Seamless TG Front & Side Panels, RTX 40 Compatible, Full-Tower E-ATX PC Case

The case is spacious and well thought out. There are plenty of diffrent ways to route cables with an adaquate amount of tie down points. It is easy to remove all the panels, as there arn't any major screws holding down the side pannels or the front panel. I was able to easily remove the front panel without too much issue, as I have had with some fish tank style cases that have 8+ screews for the front glass.I have a custom water cooling loop inside and I do not have any issues with space with 2 360mm radiators. This isn't the most popular water-cooling case, but I don't think it was a necessary difficult case to build a custom loop in. I did find that my combo of radiator and reservoir had a tight curve for soft tubing. I am not sure on the best way I could have mitigated that issue, but It is fine none the less with plenty of fiddling. It is a solid looking case with a nice wood accent that feels like real wood. I didn't have any defects in my wood.

Very large but great looking. Cable management in the back felt good with plenty of room. Side and top panels are easy to take off and put back on while still feeling secure. The only issue was a lack of space to add the GPU support to reduce sag due to the fans and hole/screen in the bottom. That was a lack of planning on my part, but was quickly fixed with a 3D printed support attached to a radiator.

Last "fish tank" build was a Y70 this was a much better experience IMO. 360AIO up top, 4-140's bottom and back and 3-120's in the side. Vertical 5070ti and still room for activities. More then decent cable management.

It arrived in perfect condition. When I opened the box I first saw a small box that contained the nuts and screws needed for the PC as well as an adapter kit for 120mm fans. When I opened the back plate all of the cable for the USB 3.0, Power button, and USB C were managed into Velcro straps for easy access. PC case also looks amazing for a rustic looking setup

Case came quick and in great shape. The included fans are nice. I'm running AIO coolers for both GPU and CPU and there was plenty of space and options to mount the radiators. Dual chamber design made building a PC with clean cable management a breeze. I also really like the rubber grommets where the cables come through, this was a nice touch and exudes quality. I got the black case which has tinted glass. Keeps things discreet until I start it up and things light up. Definitely glad I chose this case over the Lian Li!!

The media could not be loaded. I love this case. I love wood and have a very nice wooden desk so when I came across this case I thought it looked awesome and hoped it would be real wood and it is!My old rig was in a NZXT 510 elite which I loved and was a big upgrade from my older build and this new Antec case is a huge leap from the 510. I got a very good condition one on Warehouse Deals for around $110. I didn’t care about not having fans since usually stock case fan’s aren’t too great.The case is pretty large but that makes assembling your pc and routing cables to be super easy. I installed (3) 140mm reverse fans on the bottom. (3) 120mm reverse fans on the side. (1) 140mm rear exhaust fan and finally a 360mm AIO on the top.I couldn’t be happier with the purchase, it is built very well and the included cable velcro straps and zip ties were very handy

This case is fantastic. its solid as hell even without the glass in place. easy to build in. plenty of airflow and is large enough for even the biggest of video cards. the only thing i dont love about it is the hdd slots. you get two ssd slots but they are at the very top of the chamber and only once hdd slot at the very bottom. bneyond that though i couldnt be more impressed with the money. oh and it looks gorgeous in person. the wood is actual wood.

I like the design; the width may take you off guard though if you're used to standard sized towers. My previous case was a Corsair 5000D, and although that one is like 1.5 inch taller, this Antec is about 2 inches wider and you really notice it; it's a chonky looking boy!Sorry if the pictures aren't the best; I took them 2 months ago but now the system is nestled in a spot that is hard to photograph.So why did I come back to review it now? I noticed a scraping sound coming from the fans and I was having a hard time figuring out which ones; the cpu tower? The gpu? Or the case fans? I checked multiple times to make sure there wasn't some kind of debris like a stray wire (nothing). I found another reviewer here saying that they had trouble with the bearings on these Antec case fans and sure enough.. if I pull up some fan monitoring software, the scraping sound starts as soon as the fan header for the case fans reports anything higher than ~1300 RPM.Now, according to Antec's website, I don't even see a listed spec for the 160mm fans, but the 140mm fan at the rear is rated ~1500±150 RPM. So maybe the 160mm fans are within spec?My recommendation: just buy the version of this case that does not come with fans and populate them yourself with some aftermarket ones. If you NEED 160mm fans, Silverstone has some 'Shark Force 160' fans. Alternatively, if you live somewhere where the climate isn't stinking hot, just cap the speed of these Antec fans to something less or equal to 1300 RPM I guess.Otherwise your fan bearings might squeal a bit. It's mildly worrying; I can hear it over my headphones during high load and now I'm trying to decide if I bother with Antec support or just pop in some spare 140mm fans I have instead. Unrelated but I recently had an SSD and a mouse fail on me and, man, RMA's are annoying.. It's tiring..
