it sucks in alot of wind, but while it is open case it easier to see build ups and easier to clean too.

Dust may not be so much of an issue as dropping a paper clip in it, or a coke on it. A case's first job is to protect lol. Anyhow, it got pretty shaky reviews. You might google "Antec Skeleton Reviews" . . . here's a sampling:

I read a review on it somewhere (might have been Maximum PC), that said tall HSF's were a no go, not enough room. Here's a review:

Check out the paragraph above the conclusion.


Oh found the Maximum PC review:

Hope that helps.

acutally with simple modding one can easily install a bigger CPU, and even without the mod, i think the gpu in skeleton would acutally have the lowest temp as shown by some benches
