Antec has a revolutionary idea which thinks outside of the box. Instead of having all your components trapped inside a PC case, their new concept is to have a PC case that exposes all the components, so heat could escape in much speedier manner.
Antec’s conceptual PC case is called Skeleton. It’ll have 4 drive bays, which two are for external 5.25 inch drives and 2 for internal 3.5-inch. And there are 7 expansion slots, front USB/Firewire/audio ports, a front-mount 92mm hard drive cooling fan, and a massive 250mm, three-speed, multi-color fan up top. Sounds everything that it has makes a perfect PC case with maximum ventilation.
Of course, a couple of concerns here need to be raised. This case will definitely fail being protective for the components from dust, liquid etc. Dust might not be the big issue – in the old days, I always had my PC case opened for the convenience of swapping multiple hard drives and cards in and out. But these days, the environment seems to get dustier. It’s a little issue here.
Careless users will tend to have liquid (ink, beer, soft drinks) spilled over the computer or some times you might drop a screw driver in it, which would result some short circuits while those exposed parts of the electronic components come into contact with the screw driver.
Noise will also be a little issue here. Hard disk drives, fans and some components create some noise. But some geeks don’t mind as we’re used to it!
