Antec Constellation C8 White Dual Chamber Case Review

A Closer Look – Interior

First up, let’s remove the top panel, and as you can see, it has extremely good support for different fan and radiator spacings, with multiple rails for your screws to ensure your hardware is easy to install.

This bit is part of the removable mounts in the back of the case, but the slide-on fittings are hidden under the top panel cover.

With the side glass removed, there’s a massive amount of clearance to install your hardware. The biggest motherboards, radiators, graphics cards and anything else you want to put in here, should fit with ease, and there’s absolutely nothing that’s going to get in your way.

There’s excellent support for cable routing, with six large grommets, two above, two bellow, and two larger ones on the right ensuring you can get all your cables to your motherboard, and still keep things looking neat and tidy. However, it’s a shame this doesn’t also support BTF motherboard designs too.

There’s a ridiculous amount of depth here too, so any of the most extremely large air coolers you can think of will fit with ease. If you have a GPU water block and thick tubing coming off the side, again, you’ll still have plenty of room to spare.

To the right of the motherboard mount, the case recesses a little, giving you even more for fans and radiators, and without a doubt, even the thickest radiator with push/pull fans will fit in here easily. Of course, too thick and you’ll cut into the GPU clearance, but again, there’s plenty of room for that anyway.

I like that the expansion slot screws are on the interior too, a small detail, but I think it just looks smarter than having them at the back of the case.

There’s a mounting plate in the bottom of the case, allowing for fans and radiator installations, and it’s adjustable too, to accommodate 120/140mm spacings.

Of course, there’s a full-size dust filter down here too, and with this at the bottom, the fully ventilated right panel, the right side mounts, the top mounts, and the rear mount, you’ll not be left short of airflow in the C8.

When it comes to installing your hardware, the front glass can be easily removed too, and this is going to make installing large radiators very easy, especially if you’re doing a custom loop and have to tighten up some awkward fittings.

The back of the case is pretty spacious too, with a really cool design that separates the cooling mounts ensuring you get proper airflow from the side panel mesh, and you’re not recycling warm air from inside the case.

The air duct is removable, not that you should leave it removed, as it serves a good purpose. However, if you’re modding your case, or want it out of the way to work on cable routing, then it’s just a few screws and it’s out of your way.

Tucked into the bottom of the case, you’ll find an SSD storage tray, again, easy to remove and reinstall.

And there’s another one just like it tucked into the top of the case too.

If you want to install some HDD, there’s a removable cage for those too, pre-fitted with anti-vibration rubber mounts.

There’s also a thick rubber pad on the PSU mount, ensuring there are no unwanted vibrations from any fans, and it’ll also stop the PSU from getting scuffed up while you install it too.

The cables are all great quality, with white cables, white headers, and even white Velcro straps to keep them tidy, matching the theme of the case. I’m guessing the black version will come all black too.
