Antec PLUSView1000AMG: Under $100
Supplied By: Antec
We've had the pleasure of reviewing two other cases from Antec, the Plus660AMG and the very interesting LanBoy. Both of those are smaller cases and while they certainly have their uses, I was very pleased when Antec sent us the much larger PlusView1000AMG for evaluation. For my main system I need something larger for tinkering and I also wanted a side window. Side windows are hot now because many of us love viewing our system and also having assorted lights to view things easier at night. Hey, it beats those normal boring beige cases. But feature-wise how does the PlusView1000AMG stack up?
