Antec LanBoy Air Case Review
Conclusions
Contents
The Antec LanBoy Air is an amazing product for the serious enthusiast, with a unique, functional design. The components will be protected inside the case and, at the same time, the user will have the highest airflow possible. The real weak spot of this case is its price: at USD 220 it is simply too expensive for most users, enthusiast or not.
Strong Points
- Innovative design
- Support for 15 fans

Weak Points
