To test the Antec Skeleton we first assembled our profiling hardware into NZXT Tempest case since it is known to have excellent air movement abilities. We then reviewed the two enclosures to see which one had the best idle temperatures. We then ch...
Innovative design, Fast changing of parts possible, Great airflow for the motherboard, Fairly quiet 250 mm fan, Motherboard tray design
All the small design flaws, Clearance issues, The tight lower compartment, The external drive bays
I really cant recommend this chassis just yet, but after Antec irons out the design flaws, this case could be perfect for enthusiasts that are pushing their limits. Of course you can iron out the flaws yourself if you feel like your up to the task. ;...
You know, it’s actually rather hard to figure out where the Antec Skeleton sits in the grand scheme of PC cases. Antec’s entry into the open air case market certainly isn’t the first, but it seems to be the most interesting thus far. The case is defi...
Antec Skeleton is an unusual case targeted to users worried about airflow and likes a case with a very different looks. Here is a summary of what we found about this case.Strong PointsExcellent 250-mm fan with on/off switch and three speeds.Presence of...
Open-air design and slide-out tray make it easy to work on your PC. Huge top fan moves a lot of air very quietly.
Plugging in wires underneath the tray is too cramped. Your computer may become a dust magnet.
For the open-case types, theres nothing else quite like Antecs strange enthusiast case experiment. Just dont call it an "enclosure."Keep Compressed Air ......
Abstract: No one from SPCR is in Taipei for Computex, but that doesnt stop us from bringing you exclusive photos, information and a video of Antecs aptly named Skeleton chassis.

Aside from the complete lack of any helpful instructions supplied by Antec, I found the Skeleton a pleasure to work with. I would, however, like to address the issues at this point. The motherboard tray when it works correctly is smooth as silk, but...
Antec’s Skeleton will make your life much easier when it comes time to swap stuff in or out, whether you’re doing it because you need to pretest components prior to deployment in other equipment or just because you’re tired of what you h...
Very unique aesthetics, 250mm fan provides lots of airflow to motherboard components and video cards, Quiet
Does not support fullsize tower heatsinks, No potential for water cooling system installation, Difficult to mount video cards, Difficult to route PSU cables and poor cable management features, External hard drive mounting not secure, Too expensive
So there you have it. The Antec Skeleton is undoubtedly like no other case on the market. However, we are sure that quite a few people will never consider the Skeleton due to its open air concept. LetÂs face it, not everyone wants their cat chewing on...
