    Ladies and Gentlemen, after the absolute success :)eyebrow::rolleyes::worried:) of the Antec Dark Fleet 85, I present...

    LanBoy Air

    And my comment? Well, I think this sums it up nicely:

    It's like a box of tools just slammed into a JCB and this was the aftermath! Antec are losing it, slowly but surely.

    My god.
    If they just got usefull features out of the darkfleet and put them int the P182 it would be an epic winner.
    Who would buy this over a mini p180?

    Probably because the thief would be crying from laughter when trying to steal it and wake the family at night :)

    Are they trying to make it up because they missed the boat when (horrible) pre tuned cases were popular ?

    If I saw this at a LAN, I'd have to question the owner's sense of colour, vision and general good looks.

    and also question owner's sense of shame, lack of care for one's image.

    oh Antec, you are loosing so many customers (me including) by going down the high airflow drain

    I tell you what, those Dark Fleet cases look pretty good now!

    THAT'S IT! They make a worse case so people will look at the DF and think "Hmmm, at least it's not a LANBoy Air..."

    Dear Lord.. what have they done? If I had to choose between looking at that every day and a life size poster of "She who must not be reposted", it would be a tough call.

    Quite possibly... at least I could squint, in which case she may start to look younger, less wrinkly... and implanted :) No matter how much I squint at that case it will still be hideous.
