Antec NX410 Mid-Tower Case Review

How Much Does it Cost?
The Antec NX410 Mid-Tower Gaming PC Case is available right now from most major retailers. You can order it in black or white, and both models come with the same dual 140mm ARGB fans in the front and a single 120mm ARGB fan in the back. The black model is currently showing at just under £60, while the white model is just a little over £60. Of course, that’s subject to some fluctuations with stock issues and imports still suffering for most products, not just PC cases.
Overview
Antec really has put a lot into this PC case, and they ask for so little in return. I must admit, I’m amazed at just how much you can get on a smaller budget these days. Sure, £60 isn’t a bargain-bin price, and you can get a really basic case for about £30 if you needed to. However, considering you get so many features, £60 is really a bargain given you can spend twice that and still have the same features!
Affordable
Antec has been smart with their cost-cutting here. The front panel is mesh, meaning it doesn’t need a secondary filter. The rear slot covers are those nasty snap-off things, but hey, at this price, fair enough. There’s only one SSD mount behind the motherboard, there is only one HDD tray, and the glass stops 3/4 the way down the case to give way to some steel. Plus, the case is a little shorter from front to back. It’s not much, but all the little details add up to some big savings for those who only need a modest number size case and number of storage bays.
Awesome
However, everything else is pretty premium here. You get that stunning tempered glass side panel, which is mounted on hinges and has a magnetic catch and a release handle. There’s plenty of cable management space and a full-size PSU shroud to help keep things looking neat and tidy. You get excellent airflow throughout the case, and there are three awesome looking ARGB fans pre-installed as standard. Furthermore, there’s a built-in ARGB controller on the front panel, making it very user friendly to operate.
Should I Buy One?
Antec has really set a standard here, showing that you don’t have to spend the big bucks to get premium features. ARGB lighting, tempered glass, a properly ventilated case with filtering, cable management, a PSU shroud, room for radiators or more fans, and more. It really is ticking all the right boxes, and any cost-saving measures that they’ve used don’t impact the finished build. You don’t have to be on a tight budget to appreciate this case!
