Antec shrinks Skeleton for mini-ITX

Antec shrinks Skeleton for mini-ITX

Thrax Robert Hallock 10 Jun, 2009 at 11:34am ET Article published 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.

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

    10 Jun 2009 ~ 12:53pm Cliff_Forster It could make a flashy statement as a HTPC case. If your into bold designs.

    10 Jun 2009 ~ 8:51pm MachineDog 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.

Howdy, Stranger!
