Great Case At Any Price !

Customer Rating:
I felt the need to leave some feedback as this really is one of the best values out there! This case is solid and is in my opinion worth 3x the price. Most of the cases on Amazon, Tiger, or at my local computer shows for this price are flimsy sheetmetal or plastic. This case on the other hand is built like a tank and reminds me of a Business Grade workstation.

It was a little bigger than what I intially wanted as I was building a PC for Media Center locally and to serve media to my XBOX and laptop. I was intially looking at HTPC cases and Small Form Factor units, yet when I saw this for under $60 it caught my attention. When I saw that it had case air filtration built in I was sold. I was going to spend 2x the money on a Silverstone HTPC, yet I am here to say that I am glad that I went with the Antec 300.

This case offers excellent cooling as my setup of a Biostar MB With Atholn II X240 4 GB of Corsair Ram and an XFX Radeon HD5450 runs very cool and at idle the processor runs around 17 Celsisu up to around 30 Celsius at full load!

Best budget PC case

Customer Rating:
This is the best budget PC case. Great design, easy access from both sides, edges have been rounded off, the fans have three different speed controls, and plenty of space for upgrading. You can't go wrong with this case. I used this case for a home server. I used an ASUS P5QL/EPU ATX motherboard, Corsair 750 watt power supply, Intel Duo Core e5300 processor, one Seagate 1.5TB hard drive for running Windows Home Server and five additional WD 2TB greens, Corsair (2x1GB) dual channel memory, and an Intel 256MB video card. This build over powered my current HP MediaSmart ex495 server and managed to spend less money for it. Of course not including the additional 2TB hard drives.

LOVE IT

First of all this case lowered my temperatures across the board by a significant amount on both load and idle. I was using an OEM micro atx midtower case but decided to get this one just for the extra drive bays and because it was a lot cheaper than other sites due to the free shipping. But the improvement in temperature due to the superior air flow is incredible considering I haven't even put in all the fans yet. There's a side window fan port(120mm) that's not mentioned in the product specs. I love this case, highly recommended. The only improvements i can think of is a case window and slightly more room for cable management(although there's plenty). But don't let that deter you, at this price and amazon's free shipping this is awesome.

Great case for the money, or for any price!

This antec case is the best I have ever used. I have built probably 25 different computers over the years and Antec consistently makes the best cases. The 3 speeds fans in this case pull a lot of air on low speed and are almost silent. Just the price of buying the fans alone are more expensive than the case! Nice cable management, plenty of hardware, nice solid controls on the front. I love the fact that the power supply mounts on the bottom. Front cover comes open very easy. Have already bought another, the Blue Illusion model. Great case!

A very nice case for the price.

The main reason I got this case is because it had so many bays for hard drives (6x). This was a nice upgrade for my previous that only had three. One thing I liked about the case is that the side panels were on hinge that made it really easy to open and close it. No more try to slide the panel back and not get it in the grooves right. You may also notice the power supply is at the bottom...not a huge difference, but different. Screwing in peripherals (PCI-X, PCI) were old school with just the metal and a hole to screw the card bracket in, not like my last case that had plastic clips to use. The case also comes with probably over a dozen finger screws which made putting my drives in an ease. That was also old school with just the metal mounts and screw holes in the side. Check some of the pictures I uploaded to see what I'm talking about. Overall a great case and with Amazon Prime shipping it was an excellent deal.
