Antec has dropped new cases that bring the panoramic view to the next level with triple-sided tempered glass panels. Antec Launches C6 Curve Air Cases With Three-Side Tempered Glass Panels in Three Flavors, Offering Incredible Panoramic Views The Antec C6 Curve Air might be the only case with such a unique design, but it looks gorgeous. The company has just announced the C6 Curve Air series cases that bring the panoramic view to the next level. By deploying a curved tempered glass panel at the front, the C6 Curve Air brings a unique view that is distinguished, but compromises the […]
Antec and Noctua have partnered on a new Noctua Edition of the Flux Pro chassis, combining Antec’s high‑airflow design with Noctua’s latest flagship fans.
The Flux Pro is known for its ventilation and layout, but the Noctua Edition pushes its noise‑to‑performance efficiency further. Antec says the upgraded model can reduce noise levels by up to 8dB(A) while keeping component temperatures broadly unchanged. That improvement comes from the new G2‑series fans, which run significantly quieter at equivalent airflow and are tuned to avoid harmonic vibrations by offsetting adjacent fan speeds.
For additional acoustic control, the case includes Noctua’s NA‑AV4 anti‑vibration mounts. The Noctua Edition also integrates the NA‑FH1 fan hub, allowing all pre‑installed fans to be controlled through a single motherboard header. The hub arrives pre‑installed with extension cables already routed, reducing setup time for builders.
Beyond cooling, the Flux Pro’s reputation for build quality and flexibility remains intact. Its internal layout supports both air and water-cooled configurations, with ample space for high‑end GPUs, radiators and cable management. The Noctua Edition adds subtle exterior changes too, including dark‑brown accents, brown silicone grommets and discreet Noctua logos across the panels.
The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is available now priced at €399.90.
KitGuru Says: We've seen Noctua Edition graphics cards in recent years and now we are moving on to Noctua Edition cases. Would you like to build a system inside one of these?
Antec has introduced the new Antec 900, a full tower PC case designed for powerful workstations, Edge AI systems, and high end gaming builds. The new chassis focuses on strong cooling, large hardware support, and flexible storage, making it suitable for demanding computing tasks.
The Antec 900 supports several motherboard sizes including ATX, E-ATX, SSI-CEB, and SSI-EEB. This means users can build systems with high performance platforms such as AMD Threadripper. The case also works with back-connect motherboards, which helps hide cables and improve airflow inside the system.
Inside the case there is a large amount of space for powerful hardware. It supports graphics cards up to 495 mm long and 160 mm thick. This makes it suitable for modern professional GPUs such as the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada series, as well as multi-GPU setups used in AI development, rendering, and heavy workloads.
Cooling is another key focus of the Antec 900. The case supports large radiators up to 420 mm at the front and 360 mm on the top. It comes with six fans already installed, and users can also install two large 200 mm front intake fans to improve airflow while keeping noise levels low.
Storage support is also generous. The chassis offers nine drive bays in total. Users can install up to five 2.5-inch SSDs and four 3.5-inch HDDs. This makes it useful for large data storage, project files, RAID setups, or big game libraries.
The design of the case takes inspiration from the classic Nine Hundred series from Antec, known for strong airflow and expandability. The new version keeps that idea but updates it for modern hardware and heavy workloads like AI processing, simulation, and content creation.
The case is built using aluminium and steel for durability. It also features a 4 mm tempered glass side panel that can be removed without tools, giving users a clear view of their components while keeping the system easy to access.
Antec 900 full tower case Availability and pricing
The Antec 900 will be available through selected retailers and online stores. The case has an official price of €289.99 in Europe and £249.99 in the United Kingdom.
Antec launched the original 900 case way back in 2006 which means this brand new 900 marks the 20th anniversary of this model. The name is the only thing they have retained while everything else has changed, and that is good as the original 900 was a bit weird. One major change is that the original 900 was aimed squarely at gamers while this new 900 is more of a workstation case, with acres of space and huge amounts of cooling.

Specification:
Motherboard support: ATX, E-ATX, SSI-CEB and SSI-EEB.
Power supply support: ATX.
Expansion slots: 8.
Included fans: 3x 140mm Tranquil front intake, 2x 120mm P12R on the PSU shroud, 1x 140mm Tranquil rear exhaust.
Fan mounts: 3x 120mm/140mm or 2x 200mm front, 3x 120 or 2x 140mm roof, 2x PSU shroud, 1x 120mm/140mm rear.
Front I/O ports: 1x USB 3.0 type-A, 1x USB 3.1 type-C, audio.
Dimensions: 622mm H x 547mm D x 250mm W.
Testing
To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X, Palit RTX 5080 graphics and an SSD. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the Antec 900‘s cooling capabilities.
Test System:
Processor: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X
CPU Cooler: AMD Threadripper AIO cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte TRX50 AI TOP
Memory: 128GB G.Skill T5 Neo RDIMM DDR5-6400 in Quad Channel
Graphics card: Palit RTX 5080 Gamerock OC 16GB
Power supply: Antec Signature 2200 Platinum 2200W
SSD: Crucial T705 Gen5 M.2 NVMe
OS: Windows 11
The loads on our test system were very high with a total system power draw of 880W at the wall socket, split evenly between the 64-core Threadripper CPU and RTX 5080 graphics card. We found the Antec 900 was able to cool efficiently without too much noise, however when we ramped up the fans to around 2,000rpm the noise levels became offensive.
Closing Thoughts
In the 20 years since Antec launched the original 900, every single aspect of PCs, gaming and workstations has changed. While we like the nod to the original name we feel it is slightly confusing and best forgotten, as the Antec 900 (2026) is completely different to the Antec 900 (2006), and we mean that in a good way.
You can pack a huge amount of hardware in this cavernous case, and you can see that our huge Threadripper motherboard and mighty Palit RTX 5080 graphics card are somewhat lost in all that space. The upside is that you can run your cooling system low and slow and still get a good temperatures with low noise. On the other hand we recommend you don't move your finished PC around too much as it is likely to weigh a tonne.
MSRP pricing for the Antec 900 is £249/€289 EURO inc VAT.
Pros:
Massive main compartment.
Smart styling.
Easy access to the storage bays and power supply.
Cons:
A PWM hub is not included.
The position of the top fan/radiator mounts don't have much flexibility.
The accessory kit doesn’t include spare catches for the panel mounts.
KitGuru says: The new Antec 900 is big and beefy and well-suited to your next workstation build.
