If you are in the market for a well constructed, well finished, full size desktop case, Antec's stylish Overture is well worth putting on your shortlist.
Built out of steel, the Overture is no lightweight, weighing 11kg including the power supply - an Antec TruePower 380watt unit using Antec Quiet PC technology.
Two thumbscrews at the rear of the case hold the top panel in place and once this is removed getting to everything is easy and straightforward. The Overture is large enough to take full size ATX motherboards and full height/length expansion cards.
The 3.5in hard drive bay sits near the rear, held in place by two screws and with rubber drive mounts. The power supply is positioned in the front left hand side of the case, on top of which are two more 3.5in drive bays, both with external excess. The 5.25in drive bay is tool-free, held in place by a large clip.
The front bezel holds the power and reset buttons, a FireWire port, two USB 2.0 and two audio ports.
Finished in the familiar gloss Piano Black of the Lifestyle series of Antec cases, the chassis sides and top are set off by the silver finished front bezel.
