Antec, Inc. (Chinese: 安鈦克; pinyin: Āntàikè) is a Taiwanese[1] manufacturer of personal computer (PC) components and consumer tech products.[2] Antec's principal products are computer cases and power supplies. Antec also offers PC cooling products, notebook accessories, and previously offered a line of Antec Mobile Products (A.M.P.) which included Bluetooth speakers, headphones, portable batteries, and charging hubs.[2] Antec joined the handheld PC gaming market globally with the CORE HS which is a 32GB/2TB AMD 7840u based Windows 11 device with a 1080p screen and gaming controller built into the device. Originally founded in 1986 in Fremont, California, the company is now headquartered in Taipei City,[1] with additional offices in Rotterdam, Beijing, and Fremont, California.[2] Antec pioneered a number of innovations in the PC case industry, including the switch from beige to black exterior color, and first cases specifically designed for noise reduction with the Sonata and P180.[3] In 2011, Antec was purchased by Ming-Jong Technologies Ltd. of Taiwan, and the combined company adopted the Antec name.[3] Antec products are sold in over 40 countries through its online retail platform, Amazon, and distribution partners. The company is publicly traded on the Taipei stock exchange under ticker 6276.[4]

Products

Antec Mobile Products (a.m.p)

In October 2012, Antec launched the now-defunct[5] Antec Mobile Products (A.M.P.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Antec. The product range included a line of Bluetooth audio devices, USB-powered battery packs and mobile chargers.

Console Gaming

Antec entered the console gaming sector with the X-1 Cooler[6] for the Xbox One in 2015 which received positive reviews.[citation needed] The cooler prevented the console from over-heating while in use and helped preserve the lifespan of the console.
