Change can be an ambiguous occurrence. Besides
the fact it affects everything, it tends to happen whether we're prepared for it
or not. Change can be scary, or it can be exciting. Around here, change is
welcomed. While it doesn't have to be new, it's nice to see something original.
In general, computer cases haven't evolved much mainly due to motherboards which
have retained their size and not evolving. It's still the largest component in a
case, so it tends to dictate and limit just how much can be changed. Because of
that reason, most cases still come with the same square internal layout. Sure,
there are quite a few cases offering windows, extra HUGE fans, many fans,
lighting, aluminum, and color schemes that at least add a variety. Still, it's
only the appearance.
Now, there are a couple companies that have made some significant alterations
that greatly influence the look and layout of some cases. DangerDen changed up
the standard shape to accommodate their water cooling kits which still works
great for air cooled systems. Heck, servicing the system alone is a breeze not
to mention looks sweet at the same time inside all that acrylic.
On the other side of the same standard, Antec has pretty much defined how a
standard case should be designed. And up until recently, this was their only
platinum accomplishment. Getting back in to the spirit of game, Antec broke
outside the box and released the
Skeleton. What you'll see here isn't anything like anyone else has done.
