The front and rear of the Lanboy Air follows a fairly standard layout. The front has 3 x 5.25" bays. Inside these bays there is the option to mount drives in 3 different orientations. To remove these covers the screwdriver does need to be used, but its not often you would be removing optical drives. Below these drive bays are two 120mm fan controlled LED fans. Similar to both the Antec Twelve Hundred and recent DF-85 there are small knobs that can be turned to control the fans up and down through the RPMs. As you can tell from the photo, these fan bays can also be removed by removing the screws.

Turning out attention to the rear of the case, although the side panels are removable using the thumbscrews you will notice there are still screws in various places down the left and right sides. The reason for this is because the entire back panel can be removed to gain full access into the case and move the motherboard tray in and out.

The rear exhaust fan is also 120mm and LED ready. There is a small control panel below the mesh giving you the ability to control the fan speed (low or high) and turn the LED on or off. There is a total of 7 expansion slots including an additional slot that comes with a bracket allowing the USB3 cable running from the front of the case to have a direct path to the I/O panel. Adjacent to this are two rubber loopholes for water-cooling support. At the bottom of the case is a PSU cage that is removable by removing a screw holding the case into place.

With the ability to remove so many panels and the space to access any area within the Lanboy Air, Antec have given this case the capability of holding up to 15 fans. That has to surely be a record? You may not want that amount of fans within the case (unless you are operating a wind farm) but the fact remains there is the option there for expanding.

At the top of the Lanboy Air there is enough space to fit water-cooling equipment so if fans aren't your thing there is the option of liquid cooling instead.

With the name 'Lanboy' this case should have mobility as a feature and sure enough it does. At the top there are two good quality handles that swivel away to conceal behind the framework. There is also the option of removing these handles entirely by removing the screws.
