The Antec Skeleton is pretty hard to describe without a hands on
demonstration, but I'll do my best. Although the concept is simple,
I don't want to simplify
the design because the case is actually quite complex. The easiest way to
describe the Skeleton is that it's nothing more than a horizontal
desktop tower with a huge cooling fan mounted over it. However, this
desktop chassis has the motherboard mounted on the top tray with the
hard drive, optical drive and power supply mounted on the bottom
tray. This allows for easy hardware access, excellent cooling, and
an awesome way to show off your hardware. Fancy window mods? Who
needs them!

In the front of the Skeleton you will find the drive bays, power &
reset buttons, and media ports. Pretty simple so far right?

Here we have a front view of the hard drive rack in the front of the
case. The rack holds up to 2 hard drives which simply slides in and
latches into place using a single screw in the side of the drive which acts as the latch.

The left side of the case is setup the same way and can hold up to 2
optical drives. These drives also slide and latch without any extra
hardware other than the latch screw. No drive rails, no mounting
screws.

In the top, Antec has mounted a massive 250mm TriCool 3-speed multi color LED
fan that pushes a lot of air without a lot of noise. This is an
awesome feature that I was never able to do with the old plywood
bench tester.
