Neither side nor top, what is it? Antec Skeleton house presentation!

Whether an Antec Skeleton is beautiful or not is strongly influenced by one’s taste. Here, too, opinions are divided in the editorial office regarding beauty and usefulness, but we cannot object to one thing, and that is the feeling of novelty provided by the form-breaking form. It is indisputable that Antec cut its ax into hard wood when it decided to offer a frame to customers instead of a house. It is suspected that the house is shared by us and the buyers, as you can love and hate it for whatever it is.

Unfortunately, due to the limited time available for the article, we did not have the opportunity to test, so we tried to find the results of measurements in the net’s pots. The numbers found are convincing, as Skeleton is definitely a winner over traditional solutions in terms of temperature values. Of course, this is no wonder, as the open design, the huge fan provides unbeatable performance.

The external ambiguity, then, shows only our taste, which, however, is certain that the Antec did not lie to itself. The great materials, the beautiful paintwork, the practical, well-thought-out structure show no flaws. What you may be missing is Antec's usual vibration damping for hard drives and optical drives. We didn’t find any rubber boots and that’s already a negative at an Antec house. Cabling the machine can be another problem, as in order to have a showy configuration, it is essential to guide the wicks nicely, bundling them properly, because the cobweb woven from the cables can spoil the overall picture ugly. This is a disadvantage of the open design, but the advantage is that you can easily turn this little minus into a positive.

And then after the many positives, the biggest bad point should follow, and that is CPU cooling. Unfortunately, the fan has gone so low that pretty much no brutal air cooler can fit in, which is a big mistake for such a “house” specifically liked by tuners. Sure, the old Zalmans might be in question, or maybe some kind of HTPC cooler, but let’s face it, it’s a pretty moaning solution. What’s even more conceivable is that the Scythe Mugen goes to the procira without a fan and entrusts the cooling to the considerable airflow coming from above. Maybe it could be a Ninja Mini with just enough performance yet. Although this question greatly detracts from the overall evaluation, we could not leave it out of the writing, as the cooling of the processor is a cardinal issue.

If we want to mention other negatives, we can mention the almost complete lack of documentation. This is remedied by the net, as it is A detailed description can be found on the Antec page in PDF format. It is strongly recommended to download and print this before installation. The question of whether to recommend a house to buy is simple. If you like it, buy it! No one will be disappointed in the quality and it can become an ornament of our table. Either love at first sight or sincere hatred, we cannot really imagine an intermediate state, nor can anyone who does not like it get used to it later.

Finally, let’s look at the dry data that characterizes the “house”!

According to our final evaluation, even with the above negatives, the house can definitely be classified in the recommended category! Before buying hardware components, especially a CPU cooler, be sure to weigh what will fit under the frame so you don’t waste money on an efficient but useless piece of the house. In all other respects, we arrive at a essentially flawless, well-thought-out cottage.
