Taking a look at the packaging and Cooltek have made sure to include most of the information one would need when picking a new case. Not only is this case designed for airflow but as we can see on the front of the box it is noise-insulated as well, offering the best of both worlds – cooling and silence. There is a nice image of the front of the case on the right and on the left, some features Cooltek wanted to highlight.
Both sides have specifications listed in three different languages, Deutch, English and French. Letting us know this case is designed for ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and also letting us know how many USB ports, hard drives and optical disk drives it can accommodate.
On the back of the box we have an image of the case with the side panel off detailing where everything is. Cooltek have really done a good job in helping us make sure this case is exactly what we are looking for by detailing everything so well.
Included accessories are a 5.25 drive bay enclosure to help add a hot swap bay or card reader, hard drive rails so we can install 2.3″ and 3.5″ hard drives without and screws and of course a few cable ties and various screws to help get everything installed.
Looking at the front of the Antiphon Airflow and first thing that popped out to me was the Cooltek logo, while not overdone it is smack dab in the middle of the case. We can also see the all mesh design over the front 3 x removable 5.25″ bays. the reason for the clips on the outside of the bays is to make them easily detachable for those who want to use them for hot swap bays.
As for the front IO we have a power and reset button, 2 x USB3 ports, 1 x USB2 port and our audio connectors (Mic/Headset).
Removing the front mesh from the case and we can see the 2 x 120mm front fans that come included with the case. Also, there is an easily removable dust filter.
As the case is noise-insulated both side panels are solid and do not feature windows. While some love to show off the insides of their PC, there is no denying that the overall aesthetics of the Antiphone Airflow are very nice and should fit in well just about any where whether it be personal or business use.
On the back of the case and we have the cutout for the motherboard, included 120mm fan, 7 x PCI expnasion slots, 2 holes with rubber grommets for water cooling with an extra vent to help improve airflow directly below them and finally the cutout for a bottom mounted PSU.
