The gaming box is protected in a bulky cardboard box.

In its interior it supports any blow, thanks to the two polystyrene bodies.

Front of the box. As you can see, it has a very nice aesthetic.

A practical and elegant front: 2 USB ports, audio input / output and the power & reset buttons.

The entire front has a grille that allows perfect cooling of fresh air and at the bottom we have the Antec logo screenprinted.

Left side view.

To highlight the possibility of installing a 120 mm fan to introduce / expel air. Ideal for graphic support.

On the right side we did not find any ventilation duct. But we can see that the cover has a lift to comfortably accommodate the wiring of our power supply.

At the top it also allows us to install a 120mm fan. As we can see it has a great distribution of fans.

The back is completely painted in black.

It incorporates an outlet for a 120mm fan and two holes for custom liquid cooling.

In addition to the hole for an ATX power supply.

Antec is in all the details and incorporates a filter to repel any speck of dust inside our PC.

Screw without tools, to open our equipment.

Now is the time to see the interior of the Antec One. It is completely painted in satin black and supports ATX, Micro ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards.

On the back it includes rubbers to prevent vibrations from our power supply and an additional 120mm or 140mm fan.

We have already commented that it has a large cooling capacity. Includes two 120mm exhaust fans (back and ceiling).

In addition to adding another supplementary at the front of the tower. Its installation is simple, we remove the front cover and tighten with two screws included in the accessories.

We love our Push & Pull system for 5.25 bays. Although to install a rehobus Lamptron FC5 we recommend uninstalling the kit from the bay.

USB 3.0 connection. for the front ports, it includes an adapter to connect with the classic 2.0.

We also want to highlight the rear.

Rubber pad to avoid vibrations with the back cover. Chapó Antec!

And it allows us to install up to 5 storage units.

Includes adapters for 5.25 / 3.5 / 2.5 bays and hardware.

And finally, a manual in Spanish and a USB 3.0 converter cable. to classic USB connection.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Cooper Master announces its MasterBox Q300 chassis

The Antec One is a completely black painted box, compatible with ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX boards, incorporating two USB 3.0 connections.

In our test bench I have assembled a high-end gaming equipment: Asus Maximus IV Extreme, i7 3770k (with OC 4800mhz) cooled by the Antec H20 620 liquid cooling kit, 16 GB DDR3 and an Asus GTX580 Direct CU II and its system The cooling has been excellent: CPU 40ºC in Idle and full 62ºC, while the GPU 25ºC in idle and 65º in full. All this together with a clean assembly and hiding all the wiring from the power supply.

Another of its strengths is the possibility of installing up to 5 hard drives (3.5 ″ /2.5 ″ bays) and its easy installation kit for optical drives (5.25 ″ bays).

Those of us who have been in the computer world for many years know the importance of acquiring a comfortable, quality and aesthetically attractive case. And Antec meets these requirements, adding excellent cooling and technical support. Considering from Professional Review the Gaming Antec One box in the KING of the market in quality / price.
