Antec Lanboy Case Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by jmke @ 2003-03-31

In the past Antec cases were known for its sturdy structure and great features, but they werent the smallest ones around & surely not the lighest either. They still remain first class in the midi/maxi towers, but now they also have a new product up their sleeve for the LANparty folk. Aptly named the "Antec Lanboy", ultra-light and packed with nifty features. We test its portability, easy of use and of course the performance.
