AntecFlux Wood, 5 x PWM Fans Included, High-Airflow Front Panel with Walnut Wood, Type-C, 420mm Radiator & Back Connect Motherboard Support, Up to 9 Fans Simultaneously, Mid-Tower E-ATX PC Case

As a 38-year-old dad who enjoys building PCs during my downtime, the Antec Flux Wood White case has been a fantastic addition to my setup. The combination of white steel and birch wood accents gives it a sleek, modern look that fits right into our home office.​But it's not just about aesthetics. This case comes with five pre-installed PWM fans and supports up to nine, ensuring excellent airflow to keep components cool during intense gaming sessions or video editing projects. The mesh front panel and multiple air intake points contribute to efficient cooling, which is crucial for maintaining performance.​The spacious interior accommodates E-ATX motherboards and large GPUs, making assembly straightforward. Features like the removable top cooling bracket and tool-free panel design simplify the building process, which is a plus when I have limited time between family activities.​Overall, the Antec Flux Wood White case combines style, functionality, and ease of use, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to build a high-performance PC.

Easy to work in, can install some e-ATX motherboards & back plug motherboards as well. The included fans are good quality although I moved the 3 120mm front fans to the roof & refitted the front with 3 Arctic P14 Max Fans as well as the rear exhaust with 1 P14 Max. I also had room for the IceGiant ProSiphon Elite CPU Cooler in Push-Pull Config! Frosty PC

Well built case, huge, with lots of room for cables. I was concerned about how big this would be considering there is a larger pro version, and coming from an apparently small HP PC. But if this is the midtower I do not want to see the fulltower. Seriously, this is all the space you will ever need. Don't even think about the pro, just get this for cheaper and you will never need more. Love the wood aesthetics and how easy it is to detach the panels. Apparently fans are not great but you can replace those with better ones for pretty cheap anyway.

I built up my new computer with this Antec Flux. (AMD 9700 with Coolermaster 212, Gigabyte X870 Eagle, Nvidia 4060Ti, Thermaltake Gold 600W PSU, one m2 SSD for OS and later added a mechanical HDD for photo storage).The good:It was really easy to fit everything in, all the motherboard standoffs were all in the right place. The cable routing was good with lots of places to tie cables down to. The case itself is well-built with quality materials and has good airflow. I love how easy it is to remove all the panels and put them back in place snuggly. I put my tower behind my monitors so I love the location of the power/reset buttons and USB plugs on the very top of the machine (and that it has a USB-C plug up there as well).The bad:All four 120mm fans that shipped with the case made clicking noises when they spun. It was a click-fest that drove me a bit nuts. Thankfully, their customer service was helpful and sent me 4 replacement fans which I received within a week.Also, the removable air filter location doesn't make sense to me. The 3 air intake fans are on the front of the case so I don't understand how the filter at the bottom of the case will do anything.The verdict:The Antec Flux is a fantastic case. It's very functional and I think it looks really good.

Case came with bad fans, as others have stated. Additionally it had bad standoffs, and the design decisions are stupid and frustrating. Front panel can come off, but they put the fans facing inside the case so you won't have space to remove said bad fans after you put things inside. Utterly nonsensical, and that's the entire case, lots of bad decisions like this, I felt like I was being tormented by someone rather than building in a sensible case.Otherwise, it looks nice, airflow is as good as any solid modern case. Fits most GPUs and coolers. PSU shroud I don't think is removable, and that's also a bit of an annoyance. Bottom mount, fan down only PSU, but at least a pullout filter from the bottom for it, and the feet raise it enough that it's usable. Would have liked higher feet too.I had to contact Antec to replace the fans and initially it was a bit iffy. Actually, I'm still in the process, but they did say they can replace the fans, hopefully they do and it gets here fast enough. Fortunately I had old fans to put in there. When good fans are in there, it is nice and silent, which is why I got the case. I can't give this a glowing recommendation, there's just too much competition at cheaper prices for this build quality, the main draw of this case is really having solid panels on both sides, most cases now force a tempered glass panel and I just don't want those. They probably should just sell a version without fans and offer the choice of buying a solid panel.If you are going to get this case, I'd say first remove the front fans, you'll want to attach them so the screws are facing the front so it's easier to remove and route fans in the future. Second, probably remove the PSU shroud fan too, it doesn't really do anything, and you won't want to have to deal with that once everything else is inside. Then check all the standoffs, maybe even test if screws go in cleanly on them, before putting in the motherboard. A lot of work, obviously, but I would have done all that if I knew in advance. Or maybe just roll the dice and hope you get all working fans and everything else working perfectly, but that wasn't my luck, so who knows if it will be yours.Update 1: I did get the fans, the new fans are better but apparently this is just their design. Noctuas, Arctic and Cougar (older) fans are all better and quieter, so I will continue to use my Noctuas. The price for the case also went down since I got them. It's still pricier than I think it's worth compared to other options (such as the Montech 903 Max, which comes with good fans, better QC and otherwise the same build quality for a much cheaper price, as well as has better build decisions). Really all this has going for it is the wood accent, which you can find Fractal North with better versions if you're into that, and the solid side panels, which is only for the SE version of this case that is slightly more expensive, and actually doesn't dampen the noise anyway (think about it, the entire case is essentially perforated, if you had to damp solid side panels then what happens with the top and bottom sides that are just open, not to mention the front which is closer to you? It's not really going to do much).A note on Antec, this was once a venerable PC brand back before it became mainstream. The Antec 300 is a legendary case with high build quality that went for an incredible price that still is a great case to this day---provided you don't need a tempered glass side window (although some have modded that), don't want AIO liquid cooling, and don't need bigger GPUs. Unfortunately the trend to modern GPUs will necessitate a different case, and of course there's no point in buying an old case today. But if you got it for free or had one lying around, it really is such a contrast to the much lower build quality nowadays, across the board. I chose Antec again because of their legacy, but that legacy seems gone now, and the next time I need a case, I'm not sure what I'd do. I'd probably just get either Montech, Fractal North or Lian Li, or something that's on sale for a low price. They're PC cases, the science didn't change, it can't change, all you really need is something to hold your components and to filter dust. I'll add this case doesn't have dedicated dust filters aside from the (bottom facing only) pullout dust filter. Everything else is just a perforated panel. Again, the Antec 300 had a front filter. We went backwards in 15+ years.Update 2- Decided to up this to 4 stars. The new fans are quiet and so that criticism is mitigated. Of course the old batch did rattle so that was still accurate. The other criticisms still exist and are why I can't give this 5 stars. Not at this price point. Since the case doesn't have removable dust filters, aside from the bottom PSU one (and again, that is only bottom facing mounts) dust gets into the top panel, and it really gets in there. So be prepared for that cosmetic issue. Yes you can and will have to pull that panel off to clean the inside, but you will notice it. Additionally, since it's perforated panels, it will restrict airflow and will need high static pressure (and also higher RPMs) to push exhaust air through, which of course would increase noise, one of the major points of this case.I did place fans on the PSU shroud again. I don't know that they really do anything. Again in this case you will need high static pressure, and likely higher RPMs, but at least since it's inside the case it does get noise dampened. The PSU shroud's only purpose, especially because of the solid side panel, is to hold these fans. There are other ways to do that of course, and as such it's really just an annoyance that gives you less space and makes accessing the PSU much more difficult, as well as making routing cables more difficult having to work around it. Utterly pointless really. A dual chamber design makes far more sense, and is the obvious new trend. The previous design of no PSU shroud and upward facing PSU also made more sense and worked better, ala the Antec 300, especially with a side panel (that further had a side fan for better cooling, which is far more effective than PSU shroud fans). I can accept this case, but I still cannot recommend it. 4 stars is probably even generous.

The case itself is excellent. There's a lot of space to work with. The panels come off easily. It looks good. The airflow is great.The fans are bad though. All three of the front 120mm fans make a rattling sound as they spin. The fans are installed with the screws on the inside of the case so once you have a big GPU and CPU heatsink in there, there is not enough room to unscrew the fans. The bottom fan is especially bad for screw placement.Either include good quality fans or don't include any and reduce the price.
