INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

 

    Midi/Mini/HTPC PC cases were never really my favorite type not only because of interior space which is something i give lots of attention to but also because of build quality and looks. True quite a few good looking Midi tower designs exist out there but usually their build quality just can't rival the one found on a good full tower case and even if they did space would still be an major issue for me. Having said that today we have yet another full tower case with us called the Dark Fleet DF-85 and is made by Antec.

    The Dark Fleet series of cases has 4 members, the DF-10, DF-30, DF35 and the DF-85 which at least for now is the flagship of that particular line. In general the DF-85 is one of the best cases we have ever seen by Antec due to its features and excellent airflow but unfortunately not the biggest one and that is perhaps its only real drawback, for me at least since i always choose the most spacious cases for my systems. But let's continue and take a more in-depth look on the Dark Fleet DF-85.
