Congratulations on your purchase of the GX700!
The new flagship in Antec’s GX series, the GX700 is ready to take your system to the next level. Builders
can now assemble and expand faster with tool-less drive bays and customizable HDD trays. This boldly designed
gaming enclosure features metal clasps and rugged drive bay covers. It accommodates GPUs up to 11.5” and
integrates a unique flip access fan controller situated next to easy access USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connectors. Users
can cool their systems with two140 mm top fans capable of mounting 240 mm cooling radiators and easily
upgrade with the enclosure’s five 3.5” tool-less HDD trays, each with SSD/HDD mounts.
The GX700 does not include a power supply. Make sure you choose a power supply that is compatible
with your computer components and has a long enough power harness to reach your motherboard and
peripheral devices. We recommend our High Current Gamer, High Current Pro or Earthwatts power
supplies for the latest ATX specification compliance, broad compatibility, and power savings capability.
At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. As such, your
new chassis may differ slightly from the description in this manual due to improvements applied for the
optimal building experience. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in
this manual are correct.
Disclaimer
This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s computer
enclosures. For more comprehensive instructions on installing the
motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the manuals that
come with those components.

1.4 Before You Begin
In order to ensure that your building experience with the GX700 will be a positive one, please take note
of the following:
While working inside your GX700, keep your chassis on a flat, stable surface. Make sure your
build environment is clean, well-lit, and free of dust.
Antec chassis feature rounded edges that minimize the occurrence of hand injuries.
Nonetheless, exercise caution and control when handling chassis interiors. We strongly
recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working inside the chassis. Avoid
hurried or careless motions.
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the unshielded components or contacts
on a card. Hold a card by its edges. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, never by
its pins.
To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself periodically by touching an unpainted metal
surface (such as a connector or screw on the back of this computer) or by using a wrist
grounding strap.
Before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly aligned and oriented.
Bent pins can be difficult to fix and may require replacement of the entire connector.
This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult
your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. Before
proceeding, check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must take
before installing the motherboard.
Do not sit on your chassis. Although it is constructed of heavy-duty steel and internally
reinforced, it is not designed to support the weight of an adult, and may buckle.
Remember to use the right tools for each task. Do not use improvised screwdrivers like coins,
nails or knife blades as they may result in damage to screw threads or even injury. Do not use
your fingernails to separate edges or lift the sides of the chassis, as paint chipping or injury may
occur.

2.1 Setting Up
Put the case upright on a flat, stable surface so that the rear panel (power supply and expansion slots) is
facing you.
To remove the left and right side panels, remove each of the two thumbscrews, and then slide the side
panel towards you.
Note: Place the panel thumbscrews aside in a safe place.
CAUTION: Do not use your fingernails to pry or lift the panels. Damage to the panels or injury to your
fingernails may result.
