Introduction

   Hey Guys, I'm back again with another Case review. This name of this one should be pretty familiar to most of you people out there. It's the Antec Performance PLUS1060 Server Case. Now pay attention to the name of this case though. This isn't the Sx1030 like you may have thought at first glance.

  This is a new revision of the extremely popular 1030, called the PLUS1060. Antec has taken the knowledge they've gained of the enthusiasts market and revised an already great case to come up with a unique, and extremely complete package.

   Now the SX1030, which is the basis of this case, was a great case, but was 3 things from being the "ultimate" case: 1) Front mounted usb ports 2) Fan Intake Filter and 3) a slide-out motherboard tray.

   Well, as they say " 2 outta 3 aint bad!". The new PLUS1060 has added features over the earlier cases including front usb/firewire ports and front fan intake filter. We'll take a closer look at those in a few minutes...let's get a closer look at this new revision and see what's so "new" about it....

Specifications

Here's a quick cut-n-paste direct from Antec's Website.
