Austrian PC cooling expert Noctua has just shared a teaser for its upcoming PC case. While there are no concrete details, the teaser image shared on X gives a glimpse of the front I/O positioned at the top of the case. Looking at the layout, it is safe to assume that this could be the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition case first showcased at Computex 2025.

In terms of fan support, it can accommodate up to 12 fans with three 120mm or 140mm fans at the front, top, and above the power supply shroud along with additional mounting options for two 120mm or 140mm fans at the bottom and one in the rear. There’s even enough room to accommodate radiators of up to 420mm in length. For dust filtration the front and bottom panels come with a 1.2mm fine mesh and there’s even a small LED display to showcase CPU and GPU temperatures. Apart from the power and reset buttons, the front I/O comes with two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a USB Type-C 10Gbps port, a headphone/mic combo jack and a dedicated button to toggle the temperature LED display.

The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition was expected to launch late last year but seems that the two companies are finally ready to launch the case. Considering the original Antec Flux Pro is selling for about $180, we expect the Noctua edition to be priced at least $250 or above.

    As @N.Broekhuijsen quite nicely explained, they're a partnership between Austrian and Taiwanese companies.

    It also comes with four Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 and two NF-A12x25 G2 fans
    That's $250 worth of fans, if you'd buy them each at the current street prices! I upgraded my NH-C14S with a G2 fan. I can confirm a drop in temps of a couple degrees compared with the G1 fan.

    The rest of the features should be identical to the standard Antec Flux Pro full tower case
    Looks pretty impressive, except for the part about not having any aluminum.

    On an aesthetic level, it's no match for Niels' amazing creation!!

    I know it is counterproductive, but this case could really use the soft glow of some dim incandescent bulbs instead of RGB. Maybe some small Edison bulbs or a soundcard with a glowing tube or 2.
    IMO

    Edit: If separate bulbs, maybe wired to a manual toggle, similar to a PSU power switch.

    Are you talking about Noctua's or Niels'? I think vacuum tubes would be a cool vibe.

    Or what about a pair of Nixie tubes being used to display the CPU temperature? My motherboard has a 2-digit debug display that you can configure to show the CPU temperature, after the system has booted. Perhaps one could replace those LED hex displays with Nixie tubes!

    Noctua's as that one is lacking flair and is too plain.
    Neils' has everything it needs and adding more would clutter the calm.
