Was 150 yds from OCUK - now 0.5 mile; they moved
There is a new king-ding-aling is in town from next week, Antec have finally listened and have designed a new case which isn't ugly. (like some of their recent case products). The 100 is similiar to the classic Antec 300 but with an all black interior, SSD mounts as standard and a large CPU backplate cut out. This case is better than the Antec 300.

BEST OF ALL IT IS CHEAPER THAN THE ANTEC 300 TOO.

Not sure about the bump on the top, but looks like a contender for the 300 for sure, especially at the current price point.

EDIT - looking again, I am almost certain that is just a 300 with modified motherboard tray and outer plastic shell.
 
Would've been nice to see some front fans and USB 3.0 but looks decent for a low budget case.

Also the description there:
1 x internal bottom-mounted 2.5” SSD drive

Should probably read SSD mount rather than SSD drive. :D
 
I have seen inside one and there is no fan filter at all or anywhere you can fit front fans.
No screw holes for front fans, no fan"cage"
 
I quite like the look of this the Mechano look of the Dark Fleet was minging

I wonder if they will have windowed side panels to go with it
 
Fans clip onto the back of the front bezel.
The so called washable filter is just the perforated front"grill".
I emailed Antec Tech and they told me how to fit fans.
 
I'd rather spend a little more and get something much nicer..... I mean I've even seen cheaper no-name cases with nicer features like toolless drive bays and bays you can remove drives from when you have big graphic cards in there..... :o
 
It's an improvement on most Antecs, but with the side panel on it's far, far uglier than the 300 IMO.

A black interior and an SSD mount doesn't make a good looking case.
 
I own an Antec Fusion case for my HTPC and its amazing.

£130 i paid for it, brushed alluminum silver, decent front LCD display panel for EQ/Weather/Track/Time etc.

Good space inside thats easy to work with, runs very cool and a pretty generous 350W PSU

But, its quite large so not sure if it will be suitable for you if space is an issue etc
 
Can anyone tell me if this will house this Graphics Card

I ordered this case and the GPU but size didnt occur to me until a friend mentioned his friend had the 300 and had to cut some metal for the graphics card to fit. I put in a webnote but I could really do with knowing before it gets shipped. Cheers.
 
Don't like cases which only have holes in the side for the side fan. I'd rather have nothing on the side or a window there.
