Antec Take 3 Quiet 3U Rackmount Chassis

Introduction:

   Antec Inc has become a world leader in the computer chassis market by building high quality cases for the mainstream buyers with cooling and noise levels as an emphasis. Just about every computer user either owns an Antec case, has owned one in the past, or knows someone who does.

   We've reviewed many Antec cases here on VH over the years and they all tend to impress in one way or another. Antec has a very wide array of chassis` from the lightweight Lanboy to the Rackmount tank known as the Take 4.

   Today I'll be looking at the little brother of the Take 4, called the Take 3. This particular unit is a 3U rackmount chassis for the server case users out there. Antec has had rackmounts cases available for many years, however they recently revamped the line with the all new Take 3 (3U) and Take 4 (4U) cases. Let's see what make this beast of a rackmount one of the best rackmount cases on the market today.

Antec Description:

Quiet computing comes to rackmounts Antec's Studio Series rackmount enclosures offer rock-solid, lights-out performance for professional audio recording and anyone requiring rackmount chassis ruggedness coupled with Antec’s famous quietness. Available in 3U and 4U sizes, these cases feature special 450-Watt, whisper-quiet power supplies, plus 92mm and 120mm fans for cool, quiet operation. Cooling is further enhanced by a unique segregated air-flow design. Backed by Antec's legendary 3-year warranty on all parts and labor, our Studio Series lets you power up, tune in, and create!
