Antec 300 - Will this all fit in it?

madman045 · 30 Dec 2008 at 13:09

Looking for a new case for my new build, I have looked at the 900/1200 but the 300 seems to do everything I want and it's probably the smallest case i've ever owned (currently have a stacker)

E8400 or Q9550
Asus P5Q-E
8GB (4x2GB) PC6400
Sapphire HD4870 1GB
4x Sata HDD
1x Sata DVDRW
1x BR-ROM
Corsair HX620
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro
Noctua NH-U12P CPU Heatpipe Heatsink with NF-P12 premium fan
4x Silent Eagle 1000 - 120mm Sharkoon 1000
1x 140mm Sharkoon System Fan
Zalman ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller with Display

Will that lot fit in ok?

Thanks

Don't see why it wouldn't.

Only thing I'd be worried about would be the heatsink. Don't know how tall it is, but I'll go check now.

It's 158mm, the case is 202mm wide. Seems like plenty of room (taking into consideration the motherboard etc).

It might be a bit tight with the six drives with the graphics card.
My 4850 is pretty much as long as the space between the rear of the case and the back of the drive bays so it makes one bay awkward to use.

Thanks for the info, does the 1200 have dust filters or can you get them for the 900?

1200 has dust filters. 900 doesn't.

I've got an antec 300 with that noctua cooler installed, fits no probs at all. Also got a GTX 260 which I beleive is even longer than a 4870, no probs there either

Ive ordered the 300 and decided to put just the BD-Rom inside instead, will probably stick a sata in an icybox caddy in another 5.25" bay

With 4 hard drives you'll have to position them so they dont get in the way of the GFX card.

Also theres only 3 bays on the antec 300 for 5.25 devices, so if your X-fi has a front bay you may not be able to fit it
