Easy to mount motherboard with removable mother board tray.
Usb 3.0 compatible.
Atx support and matx.
Can accommodate 14 fans.
Will take a Ati 6990 without modding.
Has case handles for easy transport.
Isnt too bad on dust.
Has 5 case fans installed out of the box.
Front usb ports.
Easy access to whole of case including hard drives without having to take off the whole side panel.

Cable management can be tough but can be done.

Upon opening the box i found the packaging to be very good and sturdy with alot of foam protecting the case from damage.

Outside look the build quality is very well thought out kinda reminds me of the Dark fleet series but in a open chassis look with the allowance of mesh throughout the whole case except for the top the case can accommodate the following fan placements:
Two at the top,
Two at the front,
Three in the sides both sides so thats a total of six,
One at the rear of the case,
And four on the left side panel for vga cooling and components.
The Antec Lan boy air can accommodate a total of 14 fans.
The motherboard tray is removable which is a really nice feature.
You have a choice of bottom mount or top mount power supply mounting.
Nearly everything in the whole case is modular.
Hard drive is easy to mount with air suspense in the front of the case.
Solid state drive friendly you can mount two one them down the very bottom of the case with rubber grommets.
It is usb 3.0 compatible and has 3 fans controllers inbuilt into the case two at the front one at the back.
There is a mounting cable for your power switch which can be earthed when mounting your power supply or behind the motherboard tray anywhere really where you can find a screw hole.
Dvd and fan controller mounting is a walk in the park simply unscrew two screws either side pop your dvd drive in and use the 4 mounting screw holes inside your case.
Case has 2 handles at the top for easy transport.
Vga cards can be any length to be honest you could put a Ati 6990 in and still have plenty of room as you have no restrictions in this case only with the motherboard size.
Case is compatible with matx and atx motherboards.
Case has cpu mounting hole for easy aftermarket cpu cooler installation.
Case has enough room for sli or crossfire setups it makes everything easy when it is fully modular.
Overall im impressed with this case it takes the hassle out of having to buy a new case for a new build cooling is a good mesh design if you have a system that loves cooking your hardware why not try the Antec Lan boy Air it comes in blue, yellow and red.
