Antec GX500 Window Edition Midi-Tower - black [0-761345-15501-4]

The overall impression given by a pleasantly simple harmony. In this window Edition the housing has on the side panel has a viewing window that provides a view on the components and thus also possible lighting effects better brings to the fore.

From looking above, the own style of Antec GX500 continues, because here an elegantly designed front I / O panel including LED strip, two USB 3.0 ports and two fan control switches (each High and Low) was integrated. And behind Antec has once not often seen on the mesh, but a kind of rust, so many individual longitudinal struts. While these are somewhat permeable from dust, but they allow in return beyond a somewhat freer airflow from the case.

The 120th fan is mounted at the factory in the rear slot and another in the side panel. For even more cooling, the user can assemble two 120-mm slots behind the front panel itself with optional fans of his choice. Thus, two 120 fan on the lid or a very shallow dual radiator can be accommodated. Antec has the side part specially designed to protrude a little even when the Window version to increase the compatibility with CPU coolers - go to the GX500 as well as Tower Cooler up to 15.8 cm inside. And graphics cards up to insane 38 cm length.

Antec makes for a gap between the 5.25-inch bay and the 3.5-inch cage, so that pixel accelerator to propagate unhindered at the height of seven PCI slots. The power supply sits - now classic - back down and can suck in air either from the housing interior or under the floor. For this variant, a removable filter is located underneath the front and a further protects against the ingress of dust. The cable laying is Antec GX500 thanks to many openings in the motherboard tray easily by hand.
