Antec 300

Just wondering if anyone has some pictures of one, with 2 blue fans fitted at the front?

Is it worth putting extra fans at the front?

LukeTW · 24 Jun 2009 at 00:39

Totally worth the 2 fans at the front, cool my hard drives nice

Ive got 2 sharkoon 2000's.

perfect thanks guys.

I had one of these for a non starting new build and loved the look and build of it.

Is there any easy/cheap way to get an external 3 1/2 incher for a memory card reader? I may well get another for my next build.

You want a 5.25 bay with a cut out for a 3.5 memory card reader? I have a couple spare. You can have one if you want it.

I'm not certain to get a Antec 300 but thanks very much for the kind offer anyway.

I'll certainly take you up on it if I do.

stokecity_m · 25 Jun 2009 at 15:26

well, i've just brought it - and i'm very pleased.

not the biggest case, but well thought out and very well made.

You should be.. for the money it's pretty decent and I've installed this for many customer

No problem. Just give me a reminder if you want one (free).

Is there anything at all that can be recommended over the Antec 300 for the same price? Ive been looking at this recently, but theres not enough deets about it yet.

Coolermaster Elite 335 Case

This is used in many of our systems, this case is a great cheap alternative to the Antec 300

moppy89 · 26 Jun 2009 at 22:03

Hmm...not too bad. But Antec 300 comes with 2 fans and looks better IMO.

Obviously if youre strapped for cash, the 335 might be an option.

Ace Modder · 26 Jun 2009 at 22:09

I would personally stretch your budget a bit more and look at other options. The new LanCool range are cool.

I usually quite like the look of Lian Li cases (the B25 Blue Ring is the sexiest case ever made) but this is just too plain. I think the 300 looks a bit more muscular, a little more stylish.

And the ASUS case IMO, looks better than both. The only case where I actually appreciate the side window.

raptormonkey · 26 Jun 2009 at 22:50

Antec 300 is a quality case.

Totally agree. But it seems everybody has one and I wanna be just a little different...But without paying more and still having a case of the same quality of the Antec 300.

Yes, and also the moon on a stick would be nice.
