Antec LanBoy Air ATX Case Review

Antec has earned a reputation for extraordinary case designs such as the Skeleton, Dark Fleet, Hundred and ISK series, but late last year they unveiled what's arguably their most unique and striking case yet, the LanBoy Air.

At first glance you can tell this is an enthusiast and gamer-oriented product. Antec touts the LanBoy Air for its highly customizable and modular design. Weighing 20.3 lbs (9.2 kg), the case can be outfitted with an insane fifteen 120mm fans -- so you know the "Air" moniker belongs in its name. Perhaps more intriguing, nearly every part of the case is modular, even the motherboard and PSU mounts.


It also comes as good news that the Antec LanBoy Air starts at $150, which is not a bad price point for a unique case offering these days. Let's check out in better detail what Antec has got in store for us.

  1. I thought that was the case!

    Rip out the boiler and window the side, ditch the wheels for some added bling, and maybe some tasteful ground effect lighting.

    The tender looks ripe for a kick-a*s subwoofer box

    Now that's a Capital idea!...or is it capitol?, I can never keep those two straight.

    Your idea of 'tasteful' has migrated i see :p

    Na, leave the boiler in,and install a steam turbine to power the video cards. Then send the wheels out to be chrome plated. Eight 5 or 6 foot high drivers and their linkage all chrome plated, now that's bling!

    Oh my, we're off topic. Do you think we could get back to Antec's "bumblebee chic". offering? I doubt if it would, "float like a butterfly", but it might sting your wallet.

    "Capitol" the funny domed building in Washington DC where all the parasites work.

    "Capital", the money they steal form the rest of us. I hope that clears that up.

    ("Capitol" also Washington DC in general).

    What took you so long?

    It is without a doubt, the most expensive sawhorse I've ever seen.

  5. The "Antec Lanboy" was advertised recently by Newegg, (Email notice). The gaudy little turd is down to a $129.95! (After $20.00 MIR, of course).
