    • Feature packed? Absolutely, the Fleet swap drives look interesting. Furthermore, the measurements of the case give a hint into the size of the case.  The whole idea behind the case is that “Antec Listened”. This case features everything us enthusiasts demand at a affordable price. USB 3.0 functionality is also setting this case up to be one of the most feature packed and future proof cases released this year.  The sheer amount of drive bays (14!) , number of expansion slots and the fact that you can install GPUs up to 12.5″ inches in length, clearly shows the type of market and people Antec are catering for! This thing is huge as you’ll see when we unbox it next.
