Antec Lanboy case

[techwanabe]

I needed a case for my new Epox 8RDA+ mobo and Athlon XP2500+ Barton CPU... a case I had on hand was too small for the mobo...

So I went to Best Buy cause I had some gift cards to soften the blow. I find a Antec Lanboy case with Antec Blue 350 Watt P/S. Looks great and it was an "open" item so I got it for $10 off. It looked like it had not been even been taken out of the box, but I noticed in a review of it, there were pictures with a bright green light in the bottom where the front fan case was. I didn't get that green light... I wonder if someone opened the box, pilfered the light and took it back. It is really no big deal because the case is unused and works great... I installed everything and like it alot. I was just wondering if this was supposed to have the light in it? It isn't worth paying the extra $10 to take it back and exchange it for a green neon light. (the P/S has a blue light in it which does work).

I do like this case. It is just big enough for a std mobo and has room for a front and back case fan (80 mm). I like the smaller size and low weight! I don't plan on hauling it off to LAN parties, but I do like this case.

it's not a light, just a fan bracket.

Yep, it looks like a fan bracket. In the review, they made it sound like a light was in there. No big deal really... just curious. I don't think I'd want a green light anyway.

I do like the window and it makes me want to put a some lights inside!

I believe that green fan bracket is uv reactive. If so and if used with uv lights, it would light up. Didn't have any uv lights when I tested it so I'm not positive.

for the antec lanboy, do they have clip slots for the drives like the antec sonata?

This has a plastic runner you screw to one side of the 5 inch drives... it slides in on the a track on the right side. The left side attaches with screws the regular way. It works... they did it probably cause the right side of the case doesn't come off so you can't get to the screws. It works well enough
