Antec are very well known North American manufacturer of high end computer cases, PSUs, accessories and other parts, targeted mostly at enthusiasts, gamers and overclockers. At the Expo the company presented wide variety of products, including some astounding multimedia models, as well as middle class computers for mortal users.

Antec Nine Hundred II is one of the top Antec models, which presents all innovations and technologies, which the manufacturer utilizes. This includes high grade aluminum compounds, silencing materials, cable management features, separation between hardware compartments and so on.

Antec Twelve Hundred is the bigger brother of the previous case:

Antec P183 and P193 are cheaper models with almost the same features and extras:

The large diversity of Antec HTPC cases made big impression not only t us. Again we speak about pretty expensive models with vast amount of extras and features, delivered with bundled high quality PSU.

For those of you who already have a HTPC case there are also panels with remote control, display with software and such, which can be purchased separately.

Antec are famous with their PSUs. At the CeBit 2009 they presented some of their well known models, but also some prototypes, which we will see in future what they are capable of. All models feature quality manufacturing, high efficiency and stable and reliable operation. The manufacturersof cheaper PSUs often lie about their rated wattage. We have seen numerous items in the past which state “500W” but it turns out that “500W” is only the name of the model and its real wattage is 300. Or the rated wattage is input not output power, or it is the power at 500ms peak work, something like P.M.P.O. with Chinese speakers :Dwith Antec what you get is exactly what you hoped and paid for.
