Antec have been a forerunner in case design and power supply development for over 20 years and are one of the pioneers in quiet, reliable and efficient products. Personally I've always had a soft spot for Antec products, especially power supply units. In over 10 years I've been able to put confidence in a brand that certainly stands by its claim to reliability.

Back in June of this year, Antec showcased a new range of cases at Computex in Tapei. This unveiling revealed a new series named the Dark Fleet.

Today we will be taking a look at the largest of the cases within this new range - the DF-85. This case is a full tower chassis and follows a similar design concept to that of the LINK Antec Twelve Hundred gaming case. The Twelve Hundred divided quite a number of enthusiasts, its one of those cases that you either love or hate. The idea behind the DF-85 is that it addresses some of the concerns that were flagged up on the Twelve Hundred case such as tool-less functionality. Throughout this review we will be taking a good look at all the features on the DF-85 to discover if its worthy of a purchase.
