There are plenty of cube-shaped cases available today. So what's so nifty about Aria? First of all, it's upgradeable. While other cube cases force you to live with pre-installed, proprietary motherboards, Aria accepts standard MicroATX motherboards. So when it's time to upgrade your system, you can choose from a vast range of available motherboards. Secondly, its built-in 300 Watt power supply delivers far more power than the barely-adequate units installed in other cube cases. And finally, Aria is the quietest PC case in the entire world. (Really. We're not kidding. And we've got the independent lab tests to prove it.) So if you're tired of your boring, bulky computer, upgrade to Aria. You'll be glad you did.

Comparison review of Antec Aria and Minuet II |

There are plenty of cube-shaped bare bone systems out on the market these days. However, most of them force you to use their board built specific to the case so your options are limited when it comes time to upgrade. ANTEC provides a highly upgradeable alternative. |

I highly recommend this case for anyone looking for a high quality mATX housing. It comes with alot of extra goodies, runs cool and is extremely quiet! The case itself also looks very nice and glows blue'ish in the dark. |

Summary:
"With the abundance of good low cost MATX motherboards this Antec case has a lot to offer whilst only being slightly larger than current Shuttle and mini ITX systems. " |

At the end of the day, the Aria is a fine alternative to the glut of small form factor cubes currently on the market, at least if you plan on running a system with more reasonable cooling requirements than an Athlon XP 3200+ and GeForce FX 5950 Ultra. The Aria is full of good ideas and low-noise inn |

A nice little case that is solidly built and quiet (I am used to the generic cheap cases). However it is an odd size; too big to be small and too small to be big.

I've built 4 systems in these cubes. All are either basic office boxes or HTPCs. For these purposes they work nicely. If only it could use a regular power supply, then it would be perfect. With 300W you don't really get video game cards or serious overclocking

Overall, it's a pretty good case if you're looking for non proprietary mobo compatibility. Read the reviews. It's easy enough to get decent airflow. I have 2 HDs, 1 optical drive, and 1 AIW 9600XT and the case fan is on full all of the time. You *really* need a minimal setup to take full advantage of noise saving!

Bought this case a while ago and love it. Looks stylish and the flip-tray can be removed. Only problem that I had was that it was a little tight cramming everything inside. Overall, it was worth it and looks great!

It's a wonderously quiet and stylish box. It's not too hot if things are not overly cramped inside.
As an amateur computer enthusiast, I had some trouble putting it together. For instance, it was very difficult/nigh impossible to insert the accompanied fan intended to replace a PCI slot. It is somewhat intimidating at first to see all the wires hanging from the front panel, but the manual will do a decent job of describing where each connector should go. The LEDs are nice but can be disconnected.

I love this thing. The way it comes apart is pretty good as the hard drive and DVDROM connect to the same aluminum frame on the inside, which pulls out. The size of the thing leads to some tricky cabling, but on the inside is also a well made ANTEC Power supply. The case is attractive also from the front. I'm using mine as a secondary/PVR machine. I've put an oc'd sempron inside w/ a 250gb SATA HD and she's running smooth as silk, no heat problems here. The Powersupply has this mamoth fan on the back that pushes a lot of air out. The giant fans are becoming pretty standard for ANTEC these days. Nice Case.

At first glance I thought this thing was great, but after putting it together my feelings about it were changing. By far my biggest problem with this case was the lack of floppy support. Not only does it not have room to put one in(which I knew about when I bought it) it doesn't even have a power plug for a floppy(which makes sense seeing as there's nowhere to put one anyways). Now this is all well and good if your using and IDE HDD, but what about those of us who bought a SATA HDD for it? NO WAY TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS. Found a way around it but it was a lot more than I bargained for. I had to set it up right next to one of my other PC's and use the floppy drive and power from it so I could install the drivers. It worked but what a pain.
