Today we are going to take a look at the Antec GX700 case, which is one of the latest additions to their range of chassis for gamers. Antec have a reputation for producing a variety of affordable cases which have become very popular over the years, including the 300 and 900 which have found massive favour among the gaming audience.
Antec are one of the most established brands in the PC case market and seem to have been around for years. It seems however, that they are keeping a close eye on competition from new entrants to the market like Corsair. After all, the GX700 is a military themed case, similar to the Corsair Vengeance C70. There is a rather large difference in price, though, as the GX700 is aimed at the lower end of the market.
