Antec ONE Case Review

Given the value-oriented status of this case, a black painted interior is pleasantly surprising. Three moderately-sized holes should provide some assistance when carrying out cable management.

A tool-less mechanism secures 5.25″ devices into position.

Cooling is provided by a pair of 120mm Antec fans. The fans draw power from a 3-pin header.

4 rubber insulators reduce the severity of noise-causing vibrations escaping the power supply. Cables can be routed through a strategically-positioned hole adjacent to the power supply area.

Simple CPU cooler installation is made possible thanks to a large cut-out.

Routing cables behind the motherboard tray is going to be tricky due to limited clearance of barely 7mm.

Hard drive installation is a quick and easy task; only the right side panel needs to be removed.

A 120mm intake fan can be installed behind the front panel. Unfortunately, this mount doesn't feature any type of dust-filtering method.

I/O ports are connected directly to the front panel itself. This will make cable management more difficult, while also causing an inconvenience if you have to remove the front panel.

  1. Good cheap case for a home server too IMO. my bud has one and its quite well made considering.

  2. I would like to use this case for my over-clocked parts as it is most suitable.

  3. For an entry level case I can’t complain, good airflow, silent operation for the open nature of the case. My only gripe as it is with any entry level case is the build quality. Stepping up a mere 40 dollars ALWAYS puts you into a whole other realm of quality. (Even on a budget build)
