Antec DA601 Dark Avenger Chassis Review

Conclusion and Verdict

What we have here is a case that attempts to implement some nods to higher-end features such as cooling and RGB lighting, all for a budget friendly price. And the DA601 does succeed in doing just that. The DA601 chassis is easy on the eyes, easy to build in and easy on the wallet. Any gamer would enjoy having their hardware shown off in this chassis.

Cooling performance is adequate out of the box, yet the DA601 Dark Avenger is liquid cooling friendly should you decide to upgrade that as well. This chassis is very functional and very thoughtful. The simplistic nature of the DA601 Dark Avenger is a welcome break from the sometimes chaotic and inconsiderate design choices found in other chassis.

In contrast, while the black and grey theme looks great, I think that more color options would make this chassis for exciting. Although just a purely aesthetic personal preference, I would have like to seen grommets installed for the cable management holes in the motherboard tray.

You can buy the Antec DA601 Dark Avenger Silent Chassis for right around $120.00 USD from Amazon – https://amzn.to/2GQUJHt
