Antec Flux Wood, 5 x PWM Fans Included, High-Airflow Front Panel with Walnut Wood, Type-C, 420mm Radiator & Back Connect Motherboard Support, Up to 9 Fans Simultaneously, Mid-Tower E-ATX PC Case

As a 38-year-old dad who enjoys building PCs during my downtime, the Antec Flux Wood White case has been a fantastic addition to my setup. The combination of white steel and birch wood accents gives it a sleek, modern look that fits right into our home office.​But it's not just about aesthetics. This case comes with five pre-installed PWM fans and supports up to nine, ensuring excellent airflow to keep components cool during intense gaming sessions or video editing projects. The mesh front panel and multiple air intake points contribute to efficient cooling, which is crucial for maintaining performance.​The spacious interior accommodates E-ATX motherboards and large GPUs, making assembly straightforward. Features like the removable top cooling bracket and tool-free panel design simplify the building process, which is a plus when I have limited time between family activities.​Overall, the Antec Flux Wood White case combines style, functionality, and ease of use, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to build a high-performance PC.

I built up my new computer with this Antec Flux. (AMD 9700 with Coolermaster 212, Gigabyte X870 Eagle, Nvidia 4060Ti, Thermaltake Gold 600W PSU, one m2 SSD for OS and later added a mechanical HDD for photo storage).The good:It was really easy to fit everything in, all the motherboard standoffs were all in the right place. The cable routing was good with lots of places to tie cables down to. The case itself is well-built with quality materials and has good airflow. I love how easy it is to remove all the panels and put them back in place snuggly. I put my tower behind my monitors so I love the location of the power/reset buttons and USB plugs on the very top of the machine (and that it has a USB-C plug up there as well).The bad:All four 120mm fans that shipped with the case made clicking noises when they spun. It was a click-fest that drove me a bit nuts. Thankfully, their customer service was helpful and sent me 4 replacement fans which I received within a week.Also, the removable air filter location doesn't make sense to me. The 3 air intake fans are on the front of the case so I don't understand how the filter at the bottom of the case will do anything.The verdict:The Antec Flux is a fantastic case. It's very functional and I think it looks really good.

Could not have been happier with this case.First off, the looks of it are amazing. It’s super sleek and very modern looking. What shocked me and also what brought me to this was the reviews it had by Gamers Nexus. The airflow is so good and I’m still shocked by how good it performs. Not only that but the fans are so quiet too and also really effective. Another great thing about this case is how easy it is to build with it. Cable management is perfect, it comes with many straps prebuilt into the back and also some clips too. There are plenty of holes to route things around and you can literally open up almost every panel. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and if you were wondering my specs it’s an i9-14900KF, Z790 Mobo, and a 3080ti. Everything runs cool and even though the i9 is a power hungry, hot chip, it idles around 30-40C and under load it goes to 60-65C. (it’s also cooled by a 360mm Arctic liquid freezer III aio).

Case came with bad fans, as others have stated. Additionally it had bad standoffs, and the design decisions are stupid and frustrating. Front panel can come off, but they put the fans facing inside the case so you won't have space to remove said bad fans after you put things inside. Utterly nonsensical, and that's the entire case, lots of bad decisions like this, I felt like I was being tormented by someone rather than building in a sensible case.Otherwise, it looks nice, airflow is as good as any solid modern case. Fits most GPUs and coolers. PSU shroud I don't think is removable, and that's also a bit of an annoyance. Bottom mount, fan down only PSU, but at least a pullout filter from the bottom for it, and the feet raise it enough that it's usable. Would have liked higher feet too.I had to contact Antec to replace the fans and initially it was a bit iffy. Actually, I'm still in the process, but they did say they can replace the fans, hopefully they do and it gets here fast enough. Fortunately I had old fans to put in there. When good fans are in there, it is nice and silent, which is why I got the case. I can't give this a glowing recommendation, there's just too much competition at cheaper prices for this build quality, the main draw of this case is really having solid panels on both sides, most cases now force a tempered glass panel and I just don't want those. They probably should just sell a version without fans and offer the choice of buying a solid panel.If you are going to get this case, I'd say first remove the front fans, you'll want to attach them so the screws are facing the front so it's easier to remove and route fans in the future. Second, probably remove the PSU shroud fan too, it doesn't really do anything, and you won't want to have to deal with that once everything else is inside. Then check all the standoffs, maybe even test if screws go in cleanly on them, before putting in the motherboard. A lot of work, obviously, but I would have done all that if I knew in advance. Or maybe just roll the dice and hope you get all working fans and everything else working perfectly, but that wasn't my luck, so who knows if it will be yours.Update: I did get the fans, the new fans are better but apparently this is just their design. Noctuas, Arctic and Cougar (older) fans are all better and quieter, so I will continue to use my Noctuas. The price for the case also went down since I got them. It's still pricier than I think it's worth compared to other options (such as the Montech 903 Max, which comes with good fans, better QC and otherwise the same build quality for a much cheaper price, as well as has better build decisions). Really all this has going for it is the wood accent, which you can find Fractal North with better versions if you're into that, and the solid side panels, which is only for the SE version of this case that is slightly more expensive, and actually doesn't dampen the noise anyway (think about it, the entire case is essentially perforated, if you had to damp solid side panels then what happens with the top and bottom sides that are just open, not to mention the front which is closer to you? It's not really going to do much).A note on Antec, this was once a venerable PC brand back before it became mainstream. The Antec 300 is a legendary case with high build quality that went for an incredible price that still is a great case to this day---provided you don't need a tempered glass side window (although some have modded that), don't want AIO liquid cooling, and don't need bigger GPUs. Unfortunately the trend to modern GPUs will necessitate a different case, and of course there's no point in buying an old case today. But if you got it for free or had one lying around, it really is such a contrast to the much lower build quality nowadays, across the board. I chose Antec again because of their legacy, but that legacy seems gone now, and the next time I need a case, I'm not sure what I'd do. I'd probably just get either Montech, Fractal North or Lian Li, or something that's on sale for a low price. They're PC cases, the science didn't change, it can't change, all you really need is something to hold your components and to filter dust. I'll add this case doesn't have dedicated dust filters aside from the (bottom facing only) pullout dust filter. Everything else is just a perforated panel. Again, the Antec 300 had a front filter. We went backwards in 15+ years.
