Antec NX410 ATX Mid-Tower Case, Tempered Glass Side Panel, Full Side View, Pre-Installed 2 x 140mm in Front & 1 x 120 mm ARGB Fans in Rear (White) (9734088000)

The good: Easy cable management. Looks good. The bad: fans run at full speed: Need to connect to the motherboard for control . Needs to have 2 usb 3.0 on the front/top. Ditch the usb 2.0. Front very hard to remove without nearly breaking the panel. Was hard to install GPU as it was hard to line it up.!instruction manual totally worthless.

I love the swinging glass door for an overclocker who clears the cmos a lot it works great. Great air flow, I thought it was easy to customize but I’m good with a drill. Nothing fancy but for the price it’s good. Can’t control the speed of the fans but they move the air through the case pretty well.

Summary: I bought the case for airflow, so the non PWM/Adjustable fans werent deal breakers, the 280 mm radiator not working in the top almost was. That said. Con: I was counting on putting a 280 mm AIO radiator on the top of the chassis. A 280 mm radiator wont safely work on top. To work as top mount radiator is to potentially break the front component connections. I wont bend all the pins and wires to the front controls to accommodate this. Positive: The 280 mm radiator will fit on front. And to that end, the bottom case fans are the saving grace required to keep the hot air out of the case from the heat of a front mount radiator. Con: Once components are in, plan to pull them out again for future modifications. Positive: All ended well even though building with this case was really a nightmare compared to most cases Ive worked with. For a Mid-Tower ATX, the case layout is very restrictive and not future repair friendly for any complex build. I have always liked other Antec products. This one is arguably more annoyance to work around the limitations than its worth.

Its a great case, but PLEASE remove the PCI-e bracket covers BEFORE putting in your motherboard, it would be VERY easy to know off a transistor or cap when trying to remove them if you dont (I luckily didnt, but I definitely scuffed a few transistors). The size and materials are great, cooling (at least with an AIO) was unchanged from my full-tower case, and for those who dont use mechanical storage, the drive-cage is easily removable which leaves extra cable management room. You can also add an additional 140mm fan in the bottom of the front panel to assist cooling if needed.

Great Case, nice and solid feel. The white is a great color, and has excellent airflow. 3RGB Fans that are included are surprisingly quiet. The case has room to work in nicely and has room for cable management. Great overall value for the money.

I transferred all the parts from my old computer to the new case, and its perfect. Just pay attention: the top space of this Tower case is not enough to install the 280mm water cooling system, so I remove the front two cooling fans and install them in the top space, and then install the water cooling system in the front radiator position. Would you like me to do that? By the way, I got it on special price for $60. It was a great deal.

Its inexpensive, but more than a few issues which prevents me from recommending this case (the antec NX410). The good news is that the tempered glass side panel is hinged and easy to take off and put back on without using any tools. And the case DOES appear to have some decent airflow (although havent done any stress testing of my i5-13600K cpu). As for the bad points, firstly, many of the standoffs were not screwed in all the way, and that caused the holes in the motherboard not to line up precisely enough with the standoffs to screw in ALL the standoffs. It took a lot of screwing in SOME of the standoffs, and unscrewing others, to get the holes to line up. Secondly, the rear fan comes pre-installed, but you will have to UN-install it to be able to get your motherboard in, and then reinstall it. Next, the case fans just run at full blast the whole time, as they are not controlled by the motherboard. Oh, those case fans get their power from a molex cable, and they dont include any sata-to-molex power adapter. So you will either have to plug a molex cable in to your power supply (meaning having one more cable coming out of your power supply and adding to cable clutter), or buy a sata-to-molex cable adapter. Worse yet, the molex connector is very low quality, and mine basically broke the instant I tried connecting it to the molex cable out of the PSU. Sticking with issues on the cable-side of the case, its confusing as to where you would put a second SSD (if you are already using two X 3.5 HD Drives like I am). Making matters worse, on the Antec website, clicking the link for the manual for this case results in a 403 error. So you are on your own trying to figure out where things go. Judging by the photos of OTHER Antec cases, it appears that Antec expects you to mount any other SSDs in a way that would block some of the holes where cables are supposed to pass through (mainly, the 24-pin motherboard power cable). Airflow has been sacrificed by the fact that the bottom four inches of the front panel is solid plastic, as the mesh doesnt extend all the way to the bottom. Antec says you can fit a 360mm radiator in the front, but I dont know if it makes sense to do that since a significant portion of it will be blocked off by the solid plastic part of the front panel. Likewise, you could in theory put another fan in the front, but again, the solid plastic part of the front panel would block direct airflow. Now, there ARE holes on the top of the PSU shroud, and you COULD in theory put a fan on top of the PSU shroud that would blow air on to your GPU. But the only air holes in the PSU shroud are on the bottom of the case, so any air coming in would be heated up by the PSU. They could have put holes on the side of the case bringing fresh air in to the PSU shroud, but they didnt. And since the bottom of the front panel is solid plastic (instead of mesh), airflow is restricted from the front, too. Overall, disappointed with this case, especially since a week before I bought an Asus Tuf Gaming GT301 Case for $75, while the Antec NX410 cost me $89. Will probably return this Antec case and get another Asus GT301 instead, even though the price of the GT301 has gone back up.

I did have a fan with some LEDs that had failed. Called the company, they sent me a new one free of charge. The case is perfect, the paint is perfect...the glass is great. The wire management, and cooler support is on point. I know these are not the 300 dollar cases that ole Linus over and LTT store typically go for, but for the money these are perfection...and their support was stellar...

One thing I liked, is the ease of assembly, my system is founded on a Micro ATX board and a massive 3 slot GPU. Everything fit right in exactly how it should, however, my 280mm radiator, (Arctic Cooling Liquid Freeze 280mm) did NOT fit up top. Buyers be wary, the best AIO on the market at the moment is not compatible with this case if planning to be used in the top radiator mount location, and it barely squeezes in up front. So, my remedy was to use the included ARGB fans that came include in the box in place of the factory Arctic fans, swapped everything out, and got it all settled into its home, wire cable manage the fans, as they were when the case came assembled. And the fans werent spinning or lighting up. After awhile of troubleshooting and fiddling about to no avail, I went to swap out the included fans with the Arctic fans and the Antec fans were very hot, too hot for comfort and smelt like burning plastic. At the price of this case at the current market it is not a good value if you have to budget for extra case fans due to dead on arrival included fans. I will be returning this item due to failed the failed fans unless the manufacturer will warranty the fans. I still recommend this item barring the fact that you may want to expect some dead fans and plan accordingly.

Easy access with removable side door. Whisper quiet fans included with programmable LEDs. Air flow is a breeze and noise level is low with easy access for installs.
