Antec Skeleton

This is a joke right??? the price makes it seam like a joke

so is this like the worse case you have rated so far or is there something lower? if there is something lower please linky, I could use a good laugh ^__^

*double post sorries*

It's def. overpriced at the moment, if you ask me. Once the price comes down a lot, it'd be a great source or starting point for a mod, though. But the question is, would it be better to buy the trays by themselves, or the splurge on the whole case once the price inevitably drops...?

Yeah, it's real hard to make an open air test bench. All you need is a motherboard box, and a big desk. Just plop the board on the box, and array your components around it. Voila. $0.

When I saw it for the first time, a phrase came to mind from my business management professor... "Your baby is ugly." It's what peoples underlings are supposed to say to their when their boss has a "great idea" for a product that is actually $hit. But, as is the case most of the time, they hop on brown nose express and try to score some points with the boss and tell him how wonderful the product is and help the company hemorrhage $...

"But surely the £130 you spent on the Skeleton could have been better spent on a core hardware upgrade?"

I paid about $155 US. Admittedly it was a purchase I made for the fun factor of it, not because it was a good price. If I had had a system with a large cpu cooler I would have been peeved. But I'm slowly building a water cooled uber 4 core machine in a P182 case, so the skeleton was just to have a fun place to put my old desktop in, and to evaluate the concept of a skeleton type case.

The real question most of us should be thinking here is: will the smaller skeleton now come out, and will it be a good platform to put an xbox 360 in?

It's a shame. I was expecting a lot from this case. I still want to et one though and mod it. My designs basically fix all the problems you have found anyway (except the rear loading mobo tray).

i'd say abarth should stick to fiat.

In a word - HIDEOUS!

I can't believe somebody actually paid money for that - Otto69 :P
