I manage a couple computer stores in Portland, OR. We haven't been able to get any Antec products from our vendors since the beginning of the year. We buy from major vendors (ASI, D&H, etc.) but they haven't had any stock to sell us. Our D&H rep said in January that Antec products were 12 weeks out, but he couldn't give us a reason why. I'm looking at Newegg's site and they are out of stock of a lot of Antec cases as well. Does anyone have any more info? I've tried calling Antec and asking what is going on, but they just tell me that they are "replenishing their stock" and will have products available soon? Is there any Antec reps on this forum? Any answers would be appreciated. TIA
 
We're in the same boat here. Ended up just switching brands.

Been using the NZXT Tempest where we would have used the 302.
 
We've switched to Coolermaster primarily. I like building systems in a Coolermaster case much better than the Antec cases, especially when it comes to wiring, but we have some customers that build in Antec cases only and they don't want to switch. Our vendor did have the new GX700 case in today, but they haven't had any NSK, Sonata, 300/302 or 900/902 cases in months.
 
Interesting update: I had forgotten that I had applied for a RMA from Antec back in January. We had a 302 with a bad USB3.0 front panel. I had e-mailed them in February and March asking where my part was and they kept on telling me it would ship "next week." I contacted them again today and they told me that they were out of USB3.0 front panels for the 302. Apparently this problem is affecting their RMA process as well. Has any one had success with RMA from Antec recently?
 
Not to introduce conjecture and all, but this doesn't sound that great for Antec. It's seeming as if they are in trouble.
I fear they might have taken the hit from all these "new" companies (not really new -- but old players improved) making far superior cases with many more features, and still looking nice and sleek.
 
My Antec 900 front panel RMA took a little over 2.5 months for them to send me a replacement front panel. I submitted the RMA at the end of January and did not receive the part until mid April. I contacted them at the end of March because the RMA had been closed. I got a reply from them that they did not have the part in stock but a couple of weeks later I got it in the mail.
