The Antec Skeleton case almost seems to be a contradiction in terms, as for your money you don’t actually get much casing.  What you do get is a 250mm fan mounted on top of an arched framework, with a slide-out motherboard tray and, underneath, space for your PSU and drives.  Antec are saying it provides “unprecedented airflow”, which I suppose is accurate unless up until now you’ve left your PC components lying around on a window-ledge.

There are four drive bays, two externally-accessible 5.25-inch slots and two internal 3.5-inch slots, with an optional side-tray that holds a further four 3.5-inch drives.  Meanwhile room for seven expansion slots accommodates even 11-inch video cards, and there are two USB 2.0 ports, one Firewire, one eSATA and audio in/out. 

As well as the 250mm color-customizable LED fan up top (make sure the cat doesn’t get too near if the fan-guard is left off) there’s a 92mm fan at the front to directly cool the hard-drive bays.  I always thought that a managed airflow was better than having a cooling free-for-all, so the theory behind the Skeleton confuses me; can anybody with a better grasp of case cooling educate me in the comments?

According to Antec the Skeleton is “coming soon”.

    i can think of only one problem with this case, gpu’s have the ability to get really loud when you crank up the fan speed for gaming! this would offer some amazing bragging rights though…
