Installation
I was surprised to find that the Antec LanBoy Air was extremely spacious. I didn’t encounter any problems whatsoever during our installation. There was plenty of room around the motherboard and PSU area. This will allow for good air-flow in and aound the chassis. We used a standard PSU (with loads of cables) and we still had plenty of space. Using a modular power supply with just the cables you wanted to use, will give you even more space for better air-flow.
Unfortunately, the Antec LanBoy Air does not come with a “tool-free” or “screwless” feature, so all components has to be screwed on properly using a screwdriver. It’s a feature I would have liked.

To test the Antec LanBoy Air Chassis, we used the above components. These are the same components we’ve been using in all of our tests. These include the Intel Core i5 – 650 processor @ 3.2Ghz, Gigabyte P55-USB3 motherboard (full-size ATX), 4Gb Crucial Ballistix Tracer and a Silver Power 650W power supply, and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CPU cooler. Pretty standard PC components.
