arrgggg there is no light in my power button i don't know why cause the rest of the shit work perfectly grrrr!!!!!

@DeRockMort My power and hd lights didn't work the first time I started it up. Verify the positive and negative posts on the mobo and rewire the connectors if needed.

is the case good for all around use?

[scottstgelais]

@ilibasic The Antec Skeleton has been the best case I have ever used. Super quiet, easy to clean and easy to change out components. It does require more space that normal, as the two trays (motherboard on the top and power supply on the bottom) side out the back of the case and the 5.25" and 3.5" drives come out the front.

I would look for video cards that have the heat sink / fan enclosed. The enclosures should keep the sound to a minimum.

[gideonMorrison]

hmm, but what about the open design, considering the fan noise of the other components? Such as the gfx card or the psu etc? What would you suggest if one wishes to minimize noise?

[kostashow]

beautifull case......it makes noise??????

[scottstgelais]

It's quieter than a standard desktop. The general rule of thumb is, the larger the fan, the quieter it is.

[kostashow]

ok,thank you......i want to buy a new case.......a silent one.....you reccomend this one?? or is better take a normal case with a 1000W power supply and 135mm fan???!!!

p.s.. the power supply on skeletron how many Watts is???

(sorry for my english,but i'm greek.... :-( )

I have owned several Antec cases over the past decade or so, and this one is the quietest and coolest running of them all. This build has a 600w power supply. The Skeleton has two different sets of holes to accommodate various power supply sizes. The supply mounts upside-down (fan side up) under the mobo, and pulls heat from the underside. Keep in mind that the mobo and power supply trays slide out the back. I would defiantly recommend this case.

Hey man, the installion was hard over-all or simple ?? and are happy with this case? :) its very vulnarable if you are not so carrefully.

@chakalaca465465 Assembly was easy but the wiring took a little longer than normal. Runs cooler than an enclosed case and dusting it off is a breeze. I keep it on ventilated shelving 36" above the floor to prevent accidents from the kids and pets.
