This is the second chassis I am reviewing from Antec. The first one made a very good impression on me, but I always believed that if one can make a really good low cost case, they can provide a great value in higher cost cases as well.
The rear section of the packaging is pretty much the same what Corsair does- having an illustration of the removable bits and pieces shown, alongwith the specification in multiple language.
Antec also mentions on the box that the case comes with 2 years warranty.
As expected from cases belonging to this price range, the case is protected by 2 blocks of Styrofoam and a plastic wrapping.
