ANTEC NX416L, High Airflow Mesh Front Panel, 2 x 160mm & 1 x 120mm ARGB Fans Included, Type-C, Tempered Glass Hinge Side Panel, Up to 11 Fans, 360mm Radiator Support, Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case

I just built an awesome budget gaming rig with this great case and it looks so damn fresh! I stress that this case is for budget rigs so I'm talking low powered CPU's and GPU's such as the 65w i5-10400f cpu and a GTX 970 4gb gpu I'm using on a B560 motherboard (3600mhz ram speed in XMP with the i5-10400f is a bonus!).Cons: 1) The included Antec case fans appear to be proprietized with the front panel switch so swapping out or adding more fans could be cumbersome. 2) There's no fan speed controller or any compatibility from the included fans to plug into motherboard fan headers so the included Antec fans will be running at the same speed all the time. 3) I had trouble figuring out why I couldn't restart my PC from Windows 10 without having to hit the front panel power switch so I discovered that unplugging the HDD LED headers from my motherboard resolved this issue. This is fine if you don't need to use the front panel HDD LED's but plan on using the fan LED switch on the front panel to change the fan RGB patterns and colors on the included Antec case fans. This is controlled by the Reset switch header wired to the rear fan and powered by your PSU's molex cable.Pros: 1) The one speed Antec case fans came properly pre-installed and are actually quite efficient under all my component loads. When idle, my motherboard keeps under 27c, i5-10400f keeps under 28c (using a Deepcool Gammax 400 cooler) and I don't really notice fan noise. When gaming, my GTX 970 stays under 78c max and the 10400f under 60c max while cpu fan noise is also tolerable. I don't really need to use any more fans to keep my budget PC cool. 2) The fan LED switch and RGB effects work beautifully. A simply push of the button and I get a different fan light show or color. Saves you time and windows memory from opening up an app and go through several clicks. 3) The swinging tempered glass door can easily be removed by simply lifting it from the latches. 4) It' s only $50! This Antec case is in line with the front mesh airflow trend. The compact shape gives it a deceptive look of a micro ATX case yet the vertical design is a perfect fit for ATX boards. The space for the PSU and cable management scheme in the back panel is decent. The overall build quality and material isn't that shabby. It just looks simple, clean, and unique. Amazing value for an amazing budget case here in 2021!

Great case that can be very versatile for your cooling setup.I bought a 5 pack of Arctic P12 140mm fans, 3 of which are mounted in front and two on top (front pulling air in, the rear top fan acting as exhaust). This setup allows for great airflow, and with a little fan management tweaking, can let you optimize your system for your ideal noise/performance balance.Pros: Great case that fits nearly anything you can throw at it. The case comes with x2 140mm fans mounted in front, and a rear 120mm fan. The front fans are 4 pin PWM, while the rear is rgb and 3 pin.The top offers plenty of length to mount 2 140mm fans or a 280mm AIO. I have a 300mm long gpu that fits just fine. There is another 25mm before the gpu would interfere with the thick fans I have in front. If you go with slimmer fans you’d have more wiggle room.Case also includes a PSU filter, and a 280mm filter for the top.Cons: The front of the case is a tight squeeze for x3 140mm fans. My top front fan begins to interfere with the I/O ports on top of the case. Also, the mesh front of the case doesn’t extend to the bottom of the case. Consequently, only a portion of my bottom front fan is not obstructed.As noted in other reviews, the case includes a hard drive tray in the bottom front of the case. However, most PSUs and their cabling will require you remove that tray. There are still two 2.5” drive mounting points on the backside of the mounting for the motherboard. But if you like a ton of 3.5” and/or 2.5” storage, it might get tricky.Final thoughts:I’d recommend this case for anyone that doesn’t need 3.5” drive storage, more than 2 2.5” drives, or needs more than a 360mm radiator. I use M2 drives and 1 2.5” drive, so fits me perfect. Currently all air cooling, but have the option to upgrade to a 280mm (not 240) AIO, which would be more than capable for all but enthusiast overclocking. For the price, this case is an amazing value.

Overall a pretty decent case, should work for most builds. Airflow is good even with the stock fans, and aRGB is always a plus. The tempered glass window shows off your hardware nicely. Great looking case for the price.All that said, there are some inconveniences - though none were a major issue for me. Larger GPUs may be a tight fit - check your dimensions if you are unsure. The aRGB fan lights are a bit unusual - to use software control you have to hold the button on the case for 5(?) seconds, otherwise you are stuck with the built in options. Some cable running can be difficult due to tight bends and spaces, but this is pretty common. This case is made of thinner material than some of the more expensive options - though it shouldn't be an issue as long as you aren't rough with your pc.Overall I would recommend this case for a low-mid tier build. Consider a larger case if you are running water cooling or multiple GPUs.
