Antec DF700 FLUX Case Review
Peter Donnell / 4 years ago
Interior
The side panel is easily removed, allows you quick access to the case interior. The side panel is actually a steel frame around the glass, making it much stronger. Plus, there’s a strip of anti-vibration foam on the and bottom edges, ensuring a nice and snug fit.
The interior is pretty much what we see on a lot of PC cases these days, but that’s no bad thing, as it’s really ticking all the right boxes. There’s lot of space in here, even for a mid-tower, so modern large GPUs (if you can find one) should fit with ease.
OF course, it’s kept neat and tidy in here thanks to the integrated PSU shroud, that’ll hide some storage, cables and all the other boring stuff out of the way.
There’s a box here so you can install the reverse fan, I’m not sure why it’s not just installed, but whatever, it’s a 10 second job.
In the front, you’ll notice that airflow really isn’t a concern. There’s that huge mesh front panel, backed with 3 x 120mm ARGB fans, providing a huge wall of air throughout the case.
There’s a lot of extra room in the front panel too, you can even adjust the height of the pre-installed fans. However, this also means you can fit a full-height radiator in the front with minimal effort.
There are a good number of cable routing holes dotted around the motherboard, so it should be easy to get a nice and clean looking build. They’re all quite large too, so big cables won’t be an issue either.
In the rear of the case, you’ll find a single 120mm fan, giving us five in total if you include the reverse fan on the PSU shroud.
On the other side of the right side panel, you’ll find a magnetic dust filter keeping everything clean. If you’re super lazy, you could even put the filter on the outside of the case, it saves opening it up to clean it, but it may not look as good.
Behind the motherboard tray, there’s quite a mess of cables, but fear not, that’s just all the stuff for the pre-installed fans and their RGB lights.
They’re all pre-wired, so there’s not really anything you need to do beyond giving them a single SATA cable for power. You can also hook up the PWM header to your motherboard, but there’s also a fan control on the front I/O panel.
There are two removable brackets here, allowing you to stealth mount a pair of SSDs.
Worried about cable routing? Well, there’s a lot of space under the PSU shroud, and a surprising amount of clearance behind the motherboard, so you can cram all your cables back here easily.
Furthermore, there are cable tie straps to keep everything neat and tidy.
Finally, there’s a 3.5″ drive bay under the shroud, however, this is removable should you need the extra space.
