Antec C8 Wood E-ATX Full Tower PC Case

Design & Layout

The Antec C8 Wood is a full-tower E-ATX chassis built around a dual-chamber layout that separates the power supply and drives from the main components. A wooden front accent and seamless 45-degree bevelled tempered glass on the front and right side create an uninterrupted view of the interior. It supports motherboards up to E-ATX 280mm, offers eight expansion slots, and provides two internal 3.5-inch and four 2.5-inch drive bays.

Who It Suits

This case suits builders who want a showcase build with heavy liquid-cooling potential; it accepts 360mm radiators at the top, bottom and side simultaneously. The 440mm GPU clearance and 175mm CPU cooler height accommodate most high-end components. It is not for buyers who need fans included in the box, who require front-mounted USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 ports, or who prefer a compact footprint for smaller workspaces.

Sustained Thermal Behaviour

With no fans pre-installed, sustained temperatures depend entirely on the cooling configuration chosen. The vertical airflow path supports three 120mm or 140mm fans, or two 160mm fans, at both top and bottom for direct GPU cooling. Interchangeable bottom brackets allow 120mm or 140mm setups, while the PSU length limit of 210mm without cables keeps the lower chamber clear for unrestricted intake airflow during long sessions.
