At first glance, you might think the above contraption was a funky CPU heatsink/fan. It is in fact a complete computer case. Yup.. that’s right.. a case. Known officially as the Antec “Skeleton”, the system is billed as the “world’s first open air case” and features a front 92 mm fan, and a top three speed 250mm fan with multi-color LED illumination. The system leverages a layered tray design with room for up to four drive bays, 7 expansion slots, and a standard ATX motherboard. Front ports include 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 FireWire port, 1 eSATA port, and in/out audio ports. It might look small but the Skeleton actually measures 13 x 14.8 x 16.5 inches – or more than a foot square all around. Build a system with this case and you might want to make sure you keep the liquids away.. far away.

No word on when this case will hit the streets.
