Ant Esports ICE-280TGW White (E-ATX) Mid Tower Gaming Cabinet

The Ant Esports ICE-280TGW is a premium E-ATX mid-tower gaming cabinet engineered for high-performance PC builds with advanced thermal management and cable routing capabilities. Professional gaming enthusiasts, content creators, and system integrators rely on this cabinet to house powerful multi-GPU configurations and custom cooling solutions while maintaining optimal airflow dynamics. This cabinet solves the critical challenge of managing heat dissipation in demanding gaming and workstation builds by providing superior ventilation pathways, tool-free component installation, and extensive expansion options for radiators and additional case fans.

Product Overview

The ICE-280TGW features a modular design philosophy that prioritizes both aesthetics and functional thermal performance. The cabinet utilizes a front mesh panel design that maximizes intake airflow while the tempered glass side panel showcases internal components and RGB lighting setups. The internal architecture includes pre-installed fan mounting points, optimized cable management channels, and removable drive cages that allow users to configure the interior layout based on specific cooling requirements. The E-ATX motherboard support ensures compatibility with larger form-factor boards while maintaining compact mid-tower dimensions, making it ideal for systems requiring extended PCIe slot access for graphics cards and expansion cards.

The cabinet's construction employs SECC steel with a white powder-coated finish that resists fingerprints and maintains aesthetic appeal in professional and gaming environments. Internal dimensions are precisely engineered to accommodate standard tower CPU coolers up to 160mm height, dual 240mm/280mm radiators in the front mounting configuration, and multiple 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch storage drive bays. The removable I/O shield and pre-drilled motherboard standoffs eliminate installation complications, while the cable management bar system routes power and data cables behind the motherboard tray, creating clean internal aesthetics and improving airflow efficiency.

How to Use

Begin your ICE-280TGW setup by removing the tempered glass side panel using the locking mechanism and inspecting the internal layout. Install the motherboard standoffs in the appropriate positions matching your motherboard form factor, then carefully position the motherboard onto the tray and secure it with provided screws. Route the 24-pin ATX power connector and 8-pin CPU power cable through the dedicated management channels behind the motherboard tray before connecting to the power supply, ensuring cables do not obstruct fan rotation or radiator placement.

Mount your CPU cooler according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring adequate clearance from the side panel and front radiator if applicable. Install storage drives into the removable cages, securing 3.5-inch drives with provided screws and 2.5-inch SSDs using the tool-free mounting brackets. Position your graphics card in the appropriate PCIe slot and secure the bracket to the rear I/O panel. Install case fans in the front mounting positions for intake and rear position for exhaust, ensuring fan orientation arrows point in the correct direction for airflow. If using liquid cooling, mount the radiator in the front panel area with fans configured as intake. Finally, route all remaining cables behind the motherboard tray, secure them with cable ties, and reinstall the tempered glass side panel before powering on the system and verifying all fans are operational.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum length graphics card this cabinet can accommodate?

The ICE-280TGW supports graphics cards up to 370mm in length, which covers virtually all modern high-end GPUs including RTX 4090, RTX 4080, and RTX 4070 Ti variants. If you have a custom-length card, measure from the PCIe slot bracket to the end of the card and ensure it does not exceed 370mm. If your GPU exceeds this length, you may need to remove the front drive cage to create additional space.

Can I install a 360mm radiator in this cabinet?

The ICE-280TGW front panel is designed for 240mm and 280mm radiators maximum. A 360mm radiator will not fit in the front mounting position due to the cabinet's width constraints. However, you can mount a 240mm or 280mm radiator in the front and a 120mm radiator in the rear position for a hybrid cooling configuration, or consider mounting a 360mm radiator in a custom top-mounted configuration if you remove the top panel.

Is the tempered glass side panel removable for cleaning?

Yes, the tempered glass side panel features a secure locking mechanism that allows easy removal without tools. Simply locate the locking tabs on the top and bottom edges of the panel and slide them outward to release the panel. This design enables convenient cleaning of the glass and internal components while ensuring the panel remains secure during normal operation and transport.

What power supply wattage should I use with this cabinet?

Power supply selection depends on your specific component configuration. For gaming systems with RTX 4070 or lower, a 750W 80+ Bronze certified PSU is sufficient. For RTX 4080 or dual-GPU configurations, use a 1000W or higher 80+ Gold certified unit. The cabinet accepts standard ATX power supplies up to 200mm length, so verify your PSU dimensions match this specification before installation.

Does the cabinet come with pre-installed fans?

The ICE-280TGW does not come with pre-installed case fans. You must purchase and install your own fans based on your cooling requirements. We recommend a minimum of two 120mm fans for basic configurations, with three front intake fans and one rear exhaust fan for optimal thermal performance. Ensure fans are 120mm or 140mm size to fit the available mounting positions.
