Stupid Antec!

WTF, why cant Antec make a case thats Black. The metallic grey looks nice, just a bitch to match the drives. I have 3 Antec Cases, and i love the quality, but i need a black case that has a window...that doesnt have the cheap feely of a chieftec. I mean, on the Antec's the steel is smooth, but on the chieftecs its rougher. I need a nice black case!

Maybe because Antec doesn't make cases?

What Antec sells are Chenming cases that other manufacturers use. They put their powersupplies in them and whatever fans they choose and stick their name on them.

 

[imported_Mike]

sarcasim i c. In that case< no pun intended> could i get a chenming case and it would be the same quality?

 

[bozo1]

The only difference would be the powersupply and fans.

 

[imported_Mike]

NICE, both of which i dont care about~~~thank you

I just bought the chenming branded case and it is jet black.

 

[imported_Mike]

is it smooth like the antecs?

reason so critical with smoothness, bought a cheiftec, and the side panals were a crapy rough material

you might already know, but the Sonata is black. not sure if it has a windowed panel that you can buy separately, though

I have the Performance II 1040SX and it's pretty darn black.

<sarcasm>I like that. Brings me back.</sarcasm>


To third grade or so.

As for Antec cases, I can't say anything about their "blackness" as I never owned one. And there are a lot of other quality black cases available, or are you dead seat on Antec. i know they make quality, I prefer their PSUs. Other than the Sonata, I have seen only one "Antech/Chenming/Whatever-style" case that was black. It was a CompUSA branded case, but I am pretty sure it is the same case as Antec. It was black as far as I could tell. I couldn't match any drives to be posative, but it looked as black as my black case...

My case has a little texture to it, but its not bumpy or anything.

I've been looking for a true black Antec/Chenming/Chieftec case too. You might find one at Directron.com. They sell some Chenming models under their name.

Check out this link:

black cases

They also have a black Enermax with a door. It looks like a nice case.
