The One is pleasant to work with, it cools surprisingly well and, frankly, punches well above its weight. Few things are as satisfying as a good bargain, and we reckon we´ve found one in Antec´s latest mainstream chassis. Dubbed simply the One, this is a £40 solution that ticks more boxes than you´d expect. Finished completely in black and built of steel (albeit thin steel) it has a quality feel that defies the price tag. Getting many of the basics right, a bottom-mounted PSU bay is dust filtered, USB 3.0 features as standard, the drive bays are tool-free, and there´s enough room to house a truly high-end PC. There´s always going to be room for improvement in a chassis priced as low as this - and we´d really like to see Antec provide replaceable covers for all seven expansion slots - but more importantly, there´s not a lot wrong. The One is satisfying to work with, it cools surprisingly well and, frankly, punches well above its weight. In the market for a cheap-and-cheerful chassis? This One is well worthy of consideration.
