Antec DF700 FLUX Case Review

Honestly, I can’t say I ran into any surprises with this case, it’s not exactly reinventing the PC case with this layout, and everything fits as it is supposed to. Everything is really where you expect it to be. The PSU shroud is a big advantage, as it means that only the fancy-looking hardware is on show. Not that PSUs can’t look great too, but at least we’re hiding a lot of cables here. It did say this is an ATX case, but cheeky me put an E-ATX in here for fun, which did cover half the cable routing holes. No worries though, there are plenty more routing options open to me.
Bigger motherboard, no major issue, but even this massive be quiet! cooler fit with ease. Sure, it’ll be a fairly close to the glass, but if it fits, it fits!
Even the AORUS RTX 2070 looks pretty small in here, and I assure you it really isn’t. It’s quite a wide GPU too, and again, that’s not really an issue.
The front fans turn on with a cool white light by default, which is rather pleasing and it does a nice job of illuminating the case interior too.
It’s day time in here, so it is quite bright anyway, but you can still see the fan light shining throughout the case too.
The bottom and rear fans are not RGB, but they don’t need to be. The optional reverse fan is cool though, and it’ll help better direct air from the front fans up and into the graphics card. However, it’ll allow pull a lot of air from the right side of the case.
Overall though, the case is designed for high airflow and it certainly delivers on that. The downside is that it is quite open so if you have noisy components they’re not very shielded. However, the included fan hub makes it easier to take command of fan speeds and noise levels too.
The front panel fans look stunning, and the way the wave shapes on the mesh capture the light looks absolutely stunning too. The RGB button on the top of the case has loads of profiles built-in too, offering a range of effects, fades, transition and you can even turn the lighting off entirely too.
