would honestly get the antec 300 instead.

I have Antec 900 with Asus P5Q-E with 520HX and cable management is a little dud. Most of it is ok except for a couple cables (i.e. the ■ëpower connector from the PS goes right above the videocard and the CPU heatsink) It also feels a little too crammy too. Really makes me wish that I had gotten the 1200 instead. I googled and ended up on a site where he drilled 2 holes on the case and had a little easier time with the cables on the 900. Cooling wise, it's a great case. Fans everywhere.

For the 8pin for the mobo I got an extension and hooked it around the back using the pre made holes.

Well ive used the 900, 1200 and tempest and would go with the tempest everytime as just as good as the 1200 and a good bit cheaper, used it for my own build and cable management, cooling is excellent.

jennidc · 29 Aug 2008 at 23:10

The Antec 300 is great and only £35
