Antec SX635 Case Review - A Case Modders Perspective

When building a computer one of the most overlooked items is the enclosure. Specifically what type and style of case will best work for your newly built computer. So you begin to comb the net, looking at reviews of popular case designs and even browse over to a few case mod galleries to see what everyone else is or isn't using. The trouble in this is simple, case reviews will give you the specs on a case and show a few photos here and there, nothing really spectacular. Casemod galleries tend to show the mild to extreme case mods but don't really tell you how well they work or if the mod was built just for show. This is where our review will be different, a case review from a case modders perspective.

From the outside the Antec SX635 looks like their other performance series cases. Intergrated 3.5 floppy bay, external 5.25 bays above and the unique vented design below. Some of you may or may not know this but these cases are actually built by Chenming Molding Company in China then later resold by Antec under their name. This is actually quite common, for instance this Global WIN case is actually built by our good friends at Freeway quite some time ago.
