So it's official, Antec and NCsoft are going out. OK, maybe it's not quite that creepy, but a new press release does note that the two companies have an "official relationship," which will be publicly consummated at next week's PAX Prime event.

Antec, known primarily for its PC hardware and upgrade components, will be opening an online boutique featuring custom PC cases emblazoned with artwork from NCsoft franchises including Aion, City of Heroes, and Guild Wars. Antec's PAX Prime booth will also be hosting an exclusive City of Heroes Freedom demo for convention attendees, and you can read all the details via the full press release at MarketWire.

[Thanks to Jessie for the tip!]

"Antec's PAX Prime booth will also be hosing an exclusive City of Heroes Freedom demo for convention attendees"

lol - i guess ncsoft appreciates the advance warning.

They're just their regular models, only with giant stickers on the side

@Destati Yeah but really cool looking Giant Stickers :D

Oh come on, they're pretty and all, but if you want to be cool, have the decency to mod your case yourself.

@Dumac

I am WAY too old to worry about being cool. Gimme stickers.

@Issmir Yeah can't agree more. I am not going to buy a case for some pretty pictures -_-

BUT I would buy pretty pictures to stick on my machine next to my jinx and eve swag :)

in my comment above i was actually refering to the amusing use of "hosing" in the sentence. i'm pretty sure they meant "hosting".

@skardon

Need more coffee I guess.

Fixed.

Pretty nice. I've been holding off building a new system until I see the specs for GW2. This is a nice kick in the pants to start.

@yeppers Pretty sure if you build a system that can crank Final Fantasy 14 you're good on anything for a fair bit of time.

@Arkanaloth the irony is I can not lag in FFXIV but I lag in WoW, EQ2, and Rift....
