Introduction

Until recently, I had never heard of the company calling themselves “Antazone”. A quick look at their website shows a newly formed group of folks who are looking to take on the enthusiast crowd with a product line of coolers, power supplies and enclosures. With so many products out there aiming at this niche market segment, it will be interesting to see how this new kid on the block handles the load.

Oh… what are we looking at today, you ask?

Today’s contestant is their AS-C1000 HSF. We’ll take a closer look in just a moment, but the depiction on the box above gives an idea that this company is putting a lot of stock in aesthetics. While this isn’t a bad thing, we will also be taking a look at the performance of this product as well. One of our more popular questions while I was in the military went something like “They look good, but can they fight?”, and I think this same concept applies here.

So relax for a bit as we take this new toy out of the box and see if it has more working for it besides a new look. After all, we’re thinking of buying a cooler here, so we want to make sure it does a good job.
