This looks interesting, but I can't find any reviews I'd really trust. The front looks a bit choked for air with such a small intake and double-mesh.

I watched one review video [youtube.com] on it where the guy said something like: "Airflow is fine, but so is any case where the front isn't completely sealed off" ... hmmm... that speaks to the design of this case as much as it speaks to the quality of his review channel.

Airtflow restrictive cases can be fine for some scenarios, but can also significantly reduce performance or even lifespan on your PC's components. The way I see it, the lack of professional reviews for this case means Antec didn't feel confident enough to send samples out to reviewers.

Why would any company add more than one mesh layer? It would restrict airflow, and lengthen manufacturing. I'm genuinely confused there.

I have this case that I use for a pfsense build and it's not terrible but the build quality isn't that great as I've already snapped one of the front panel pegs

I like that one a lot, but it's 50-60% more.
