Antec DF800 Flux – Dark League Mid-Tower Case Review

Antec is one of the most well-known PC brands out there, with a history longer than I can remember! I know my first properly custom PC build I did was in an Antec case, back in the days when cathode tubes were still the coolest thing ever; simpler times. Alas, Antec is still going strong, with one of the broadest PC case ranges on the market today, and plenty more products besides that too. Their latest is the DF800 FLUX Dark League, a mid-tower gaming case that promises to deliver the style and cooling performance for the next generation of PC hardware.

What is F-LUX?

“When Intel and AMD announced their latest CPUs, they all deliver remarkable performance upgrades and better productivity, it also means the functional requirement of PC equipment needs to be taken to the next level, especially the thermal performance. To cope with the stress of enhanced heat dissipation, Antec developed a revolutionary structure for airflow, providing an improved and powerful cooling solution for your system. The F-LUX Platform.” – Antec

Antec DF800 Flux

The new patented F-LUX Platform is what Antec call “flow luxury” and it features additional side ventilation, as well as a reverse fan on the case interior to pull air through the case. There are five 120mm fans included in the case, so I’m pretty confident airflow is going to be fairly robust here. With the next-gen of GPUs alone possibly hitting around 800w TDP, airflow is extremely important, not that it wasn’t already, of course.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
