Antec announces new Flux case for fans of wood details

Antec has announced new mid-tower cases for its Flux line that stand out for their wood detailing. The front of the case features a wood edge certified by the US Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

The main highlight on the manufacturer’s official website is the black model of the Flux, which comes with walnut wood detailing. The page for the case on Amazon, however, reveals the color white, with birch wood detailing. To complete the look, we have a tempered glass side panel that shows the internal components.

With the exception of the colors, of course, we have the same specifications for the system that the user can assemble using one of these cases. So, check out some highlights below:

• Supported boards: E-ATX, ATX, micro-ATX and ITX
• Maximum GPU length: 408mm
• Maximum cooler height: 175mm
• Maximum font length: 205mm

Antec Flux: price and availability

Antec’s Flux line is now available in the US with a variety of prices and designs. The wood-accented variant, however, was first announced for China only. There, the products are being sold for 399 yuan, which is approximately R$313.

Wood is a rarity in consumer electronics, especially for PCs aimed at gamers. To evoke modernity and technology, this type of product usually opts for constructions made entirely of metal, glass and plastic. But some details in the finish have occasionally appeared. Jonsbo has a case with an even more pronounced wood trim, and Corsair tried entire panels made of the material last year.
