PC Case Antec C5 Midi Tower Black

The Antec C5 Midi Tower Black is a mid-tower PC case with a 270° full-view tempered glass panel and a dual-chamber layout. It supports Micro ATX, ITX and ATX motherboards, multiple fan and radiator configurations, and offers dedicated cable management space and removable drive cages for flexible storage options.

Advantages

The tempered glass uses seamless paneling with a 45° bevel to minimize visible joints and provide a panoramic interior view. A tool-free, stylish front panel includes an ARGB lighting strip and the case ships with seven pre-installed ARGB PWM fans and a built-in fan controller to simplify airflow management. The dual-chamber design separates components for independent cooling and places the power supply in the right chamber with a 95 mm cable management area for cleaner routing. Magnetic dust filters on top and bottom reduce dust intake.

• Custom gaming PC builds requiring strong airflow and RGB lighting

How to use

Install a compatible motherboard (ATX/Micro ATX/ITX) and mount the power supply in the dedicated right chamber. Use the 95 mm cable management space to route cables behind the motherboard tray and connect ARGB and fan headers to the built-in controller. Install storage drives in the removable hard drive cage or in the bottom/bay locations as required; remove the frontmost bottom fan to fit an extra 3.5" drive or remove the lowest side fan to add a 2.5" SSD. Configure fan and ARGB settings via the motherboard or the case controller according to your components.

Recommendations

For optimal airflow and quieter operation, maintain unobstructed bottom-to-top vertical airflow by keeping cable bundles tidy in the right chamber and regularly cleaning magnetic dust filters. When using large radiators, verify clearance for vertical fan mounting and adjust fan placement if you need additional storage drives.
