CONCLUSION

   The Antec Dark Avenger DA601 Mid Tower may not be the largest PC case of its kind and it may lack quite a few features found in more expensive models but thanks to its tempered glass side panel, 4 forward RGB LED stripes and the 120mm Prism ARGB fan (compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, RGB Fusion and ASRock Polychrome Sync enabled mainboards) it does score very high in terms of looks (would score even higher with a 2nd 120mm Prism ARGB fan located at the rear). However, looks aside the DA601 scores high in terms of interior space since you can equip it with up to 6 drives, 7 fans and/or two radiators (240/280/360mm), 160mm tall CPU coolers, 400mm long graphics cards and 200mm long power supplies. The addition of a PSU shroud is always a good thing although in the case of the DA601 (just like with many other models lately) the many holes on it reduce the dual-chamber effect (something which I seriously doubt will be of concern to potential buyers).

   At the moment of this review the Dark Avenger DA601 Mid-Tower by Antec retails for just USD121.27 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 86.77Euros inside the EU (Amazon.uk) a price tag which is extremely balanced for what you are getting in return. Of course, if you are willing to climb even more you can find even better towers but at this price point not many can compete with a budget friendly RGB tower with the looks of the Dark Avenger DA601 and that along with its interior space are enough for us to give it our Golden Award.
