The chassis is the face of the computer. Changing the chassis is like changing the computer to others, so playing around and changing the chassis from time to time is also a good entertainment. Let the boring life also have some new highlights. Recently, I moved out a chassis I bought at a special price at 618 to see what the difference is.
This is the DF800 FLUX Starlighter of Antec . Its front face adopts a design rich in Star Wars elements and has some origins with the Space B2 shuttle. Triangular elements, with mesh on the left and glass and closed planes on the right.
Looking from the right side, the triangular front face is very obvious. There are ANTEC words on the triangular glass on the right side. The right side of the
chassis is made of metal. The lower half has an air inlet duct with a magnetic filter inside, which can filter dust.
The back is a standard chassis rear structure, with a fan position, an ARGB fan, 7 PCIE slot positions, and a baffle that can be removed repeatedly. At the bottom is the power location.
The left side has a glass side view. This chassis is Antec’s FLUX series. FLUX is a system with an original and special wind flow architecture and has obtained national utility model patent certification.
Take off the glass and you can better see the structure inside. The bottom is a fully penetrating power supply compartment with an opening for the power supply position. Large space supports up to ATX motherboard . There are 4 ARGB fans inside, 3 in the front and one in the back. Create left and right air channels. There are 2 openings above the motherboard to the back panel, and there are also 2 openings on the right side. Both the top and front support 60 water cooling. The top of the
power supply compartment is fully hollowed out, and matches the air inlet duct at the bottom on the right to form an upper and lower air duct. Inside the white box is a reverse fan, which can form a bottom-up air duct to cool the graphics card. The position near the front panel is hollow, which facilitates space arrangement when installing 360 degree water cooling.
As you can see here, there are holes for threading to the backplane on the upper, lower and right sides. On the right side, if you look carefully at the shape, there are actually two SSD hard drives arranged, and they appear to be arranged on the backplane.
Take off the right side panel and look at the layout at the back. To the left in the middle is the lead position. Below is a through-flow power supply compartment, and on the left is a hard drive rack that supports two 3.5-inch hard drives. In the middle on the right side are two SSD hard drives. At the same time, there are two on the left side, the upper one is horizontal and the lower one is vertical. There is also a fan and ARGB HUB in the middle.
Let’s look at this HUB. There are a total of 6 fan inputs and 6 ARGB inputs, of which 4 are used for fans (3 in the front and 1 in the back), and 5 are used in ARGB. It should be 3 in the front + 1 in the back + the chassis itself. RGB. Of course, fans and ARGB can be connected in series, so this HUB is still very practical and convenient for unified control.
The materials that come with the box include the HUB manual, the chassis manual, 4 straps, a universal tape, and a bunch of screws.
The front interface cable of the chassis has a USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB interface and an audio interface. And the startup wiring of the chassis. The control line of
HUB has a fan interface, ARGB interface, and an auxiliary power supply, which needs to be connected to the SATA wiring of the power supply. The wires of the
chassis all end here, on the right side of the top. There is a dust filter on the top of the
chassis. On the right side is the switch position, with a power button, LED equivalent switch, hard disk light and power light, 2 USB interfaces, speaker and microphone interfaces.
There are four support feet at the bottom of the chassis, but this foot pad is a bit small. There is dust-proof net at the power supply position, which can be easily taken out.
Okay, let’s see that the design of Antec’s DF800 FLUX Starlighter chassis is quite good. Let’s take a look at the effect after installation.
After we turn on the computer, the effect of the front and rear lights is very good, full of science fiction charm.
can also easily switch to various other colors and color schemes to meet the needs of different people.
Let’s take a closer look at the front face. Inside the triangle on the right is a multi-layered light channel, which is full of three-dimensionality.
In general, Antec’s DF800 FLUX Starlight chassis has 3 air inlet designs at the bottom, side, and front. The air is discharged through the rear and top. It supports 360-degree water-cooling installation on the top and front, and can be formed from the right The two air ducts to the left and from bottom to top allow users to freely choose according to their needs to achieve a powerful heat dissipation effect. The front face has a unique appearance design. It comes with 4 ARGB fans, 1 reverse fan, ARGB and fan HUB, which can achieve good lighting design. It can be controlled independently to switch various equivalents, or it can be connected to the ARGB of the motherboard. interface to achieve global unified control from software.
