Antec and Noctua are launching a PC case together. It features walnut wood, brown exterior elements, and expensive fans.

The Antec Flux Pro case has been released in a Noctua Edition. The two partners are highlighting Noctua's typical dark brown: The lid and the lower left side panel are in this shade, as are the rubber grommets for the cables. The case inherits the walnut wood front frame from the normal version.
Inside, a total of six high-end Noctua fans are installed: Three NF-A14x25 G2 blow fresh air into the case from the front. Two NF-A12x25 G2 on the power supply shroud at the bottom blow air upwards. A single NF-A14x25 G2 blows waste heat outwards. Buyers can arrange the fans as they wish. For example, there is space under the lid for three 140 or 120 mm fans. Analogously, radiators up to 420 mm in length fit.
A Noctua hub of type NA-FH1 controls the fans via PWM signal. Users need to connect this hub to the mainboard instead of all fans individually. The mainboard then controls the fans. Two connections for additional fans are free on the hub. A small display on the side of the case shows CPU and GPU temperatures if Antec's software is installed.

The rest of the construction remains unchanged. The front, the lid, and the lower left side panel are made of mesh grilles, which are intended to allow for healthy airflow. A full-depth side window provides a view of the hardware. Vertical graphics card installation is generally possible, but the necessary kit with a riser cable is currently not available in Germany. The power supply and cables are hidden in a separate chamber at the bottom.
The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition (starting from 399,90 €) is already available. At 400 Euros, it costs more than double the normal version (starting from 179,90 €). Noctua's fans and the fan hub would cost around 250 Euros at retail. Antec thus passes on the costs for the upgrade to buyers almost one-to-one.
