Antec Constellation C8 White Dual Chamber Case Review

Complete System

Installation could not have been easier, as there’s just such a vast amount of space in both the front and rear of this case. In the back of the case, there’s room for a pretty huge ATX PSU, but still plenty of room behind the motherboard to cram all your excess cables or make them tidy if that’s something you really care about. As you can see, the Air Duct keeps everything separate and will help ensure the radiator I’ve installed gets a more direct flow of air from outside of the case.

Now onto the business side of things. I removed both windows on the case, so installing the 360mm Antec AIO on the side of the case was very easy. It means I could easily get in with a screwdriver to install fans, or to perform simple cleaning and maintenance tasks.

This case does support larger E-ATX and XL-ATX motherboards, and the case is so big that a standard ATX motherboard looks really small in here. But of course, if you plan to push things to the extremes, this gives you a good frame of reference to just how much space there is here. There’s an incredibly large amount of clearance above the motherboard, allowing for thick radiators in the top, and there’s obviously a lot of space left in the bottom of the case too, but that will vary depending on what range of expansion cards you’re running.

Had I been paying attention I would have installed this AIO with the tubing on the right, as it’s a little bit of a stretch. However, keep in mind this is a big case, so if you are using an AIO like this, be sure the tubing is of a good length or it may not reach.

GPU compatibility is literally 100%, there isn’t a single card on the market that wouldn’t fit in here with room to spare, and unless the RTX 5090 is as big as a house, I imagine any future cards will fit just fine too.

I do like the versatility of the airflow in this case. However, I also just like right-side mounted radiators, as it’s a great way to show off these lovely ARGB fans, and since this case has two tempered glass windows, showing off your hardware is obviously the whole point.

Overall, it is a big case, that supports big hardware and does it in such a way that you can easily show off everything you have. It’s likely a little on the large side for a lot of desktops though, so be sure you actually have room to show it off. And of course, if I were to place this on the left of my desk, it wouldn’t look very good, I’d only see the side mesh, so as obvious as it may seem to some, make sure you have room for it on or beside the right side of your desk, not the left.
