Antec shrinks Skeleton for mini-ITX

Robert Hallock June 10, 2009 11:34 AM ET in Tech

Antec’s open-air Skeleton chassis will soon have a little sister primed to receive a mini-ITX system.

The new Mini Skeleton-90 has a 190mm x 210mm x 230mm (LxWxH) footprint and enough room to rock a mini-ITX motherboard, a half-height expansion card, one 5.25″ bay, two 2.5″ bays and two 3.5″ bays. The boys at Antec also include a 90w adapter that can be used to power the system.

Unfortunately the fat farm was an expensive event, and the newer, lighter, smaller version is only $20 less at $119 MSRP.

    Do want, but only half-height? That rules it out for a lot of applications.

    mITX? It makes more sense to have a mATX version first. The benefits offered by a Skeleton-style case are probably least-needed by mITX users.

    I hope Antec will refine the Skeleton design and really wow us with a revised case some day that addresses its major shortcomings.

    It could make a flashy statement as a HTPC case. If your into bold designs.

    I'm with BJ. And the price would be easier to swallow for mATX, too.

    Who in the world would use this? I imagine anyone going for mITX is using it only for size. The people who want a skeleton chassis probably could use cheaper options anyway, but they should really focus on making the big one cheaper IMO.

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
