Antec is one of the oldest names in the PC case business, and I think several of my first PC builds were in Antec cases, albeit some of their most affordable models. Of course, Antec does make a great range of high-end and more expensive models, but they’ve long been masters of their budget models. Today, I’ll be taking a look at the Antec NX250 ARGB Mid-Tower PC Case, and at just £44.99 at the time of writing, it’s one of the most affordable cases I’ll have reviewed this year.
Antec NX250
Despite the low-low price, however, it hardly lacks in features compared to its many rivals. You still get a mid-tower design, big enough to house an ATX motherboard, multiple storage drives, a long graphics card, and a decent-sized CPU cooler. Furthermore, there’s tempered glass on the side, ARGB lighting in the front panel, giving you plenty of customisation options, a rear 120mm fan is included, and you even get a PSU shroud. Surely they’ve made the rest of the case out of cardboard and tissue paper to keep the cost down? Well, let’s find out!

What Antec Had to Say
“The NX250 mid-tower gaming case effortlessly combines a bevy of in-demand features: USB 3.0 connectivity, ample storage drive bays, room for expansion, and includes 1 x 120 mm fan in rear.
