Antec CX700 ARGB + CSK 850W Pro 80 Plus Bronze ATX3.1 White Mid Tower Case
Build a visually stunning and well-cooled system with the Antec CX700 ARGB White mid-tower case. This chassis combines elegant aesthetics with excellent airflow potential, featuring a tempered glass side panel to showcase your components. Furthermore, it comes pre-installed with three ARGB PWM fans (two reverse fans on the side, one standard fan in the rear) to kickstart your build’s lighting and cooling. Its spacious interior supports ATX motherboards and offers versatile cooling options.
Cooling Focused Design with ARGB Flair
The CX700 ARGB prioritizes airflow alongside visual appeal. While specific mesh panel details aren’t listed in the specs, the inclusion of side fan mounts and extensive fan/radiator support suggests a design focused on ventilation. Importantly, the case includes three 120mm ARGB PWM fans: two reverse-blade fans pre-installed on the side (likely intended as intake next to the motherboard) and one standard ARGB PWM fan pre-installed at the rear exhaust position.
Cooling flexibility is significant. You can mount up to nine 120mm fans (Top: 3, Side: 2, PSU Shroud: 3, Rear: 1). Alternatively, larger 140mm fans are supported in the top position (up to two). For liquid cooling, the case accommodates radiators up to 360mm in the top position and up to 240mm on the side mount, allowing for robust AIO or custom loop configurations.
Spacious Interior & Build Features
The mid-tower form factor provides ample space for high-end components. It supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. Graphics card clearance is generous at up to 410mm in length (reducing to 270mm if a side-mounted radiator is installed). CPU air coolers up to 160mm tall are also supported. The case features a 4mm tempered glass side panel to display your build.
Storage options include dedicated space for two 3.5″ HDDs (convertible to 2.5″) likely in a drive cage, plus two dedicated 2.5″ SSD mounts. The front I/O panel is conveniently located and includes Power, an LED Control Button, one USB 3.0 port, one USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, and a combo headphone/mic jack. Cable management is aided by the chassis design, and dust filters are included for the top and bottom intakes.
