(See also, the Antec Three Hundred Illusion case mentioned above that seems to include two of the three fans for only $10 more.) For this build, I used three Enermax UC-12EB fans.
The Antec Three Hundred doesn't include the 120mm fans in the drive bays or the one on the side panel, however with three disk drives and dual graphics cards, those are all desirable. I'm old-fashioned in that I like hearing that POST beep upon powering up the PC.

I also wish the case included some form of a PC speaker (or that motherboard manufacturers would put a piezoelectric speaker on the motherboard itself). Most people never tinker with their motherboards once installed. I wouldn't take any points away for the lack of said cut out - if I were giving points - but it would have been nice. This allows a heavy duty CPU cooler that includes a bottom plate to be installed or removed without taking the motherboard out of the case. One thing I would have liked to see and which I have started seeing in high-end cases, is a cut out under the motherboard where the CPU would likely sit. The last couple pictures show the external drive bays from the inside (along with the front panel wiring) and the front panel audio cable which has both AC97 and HD audio connectors.Ī look at the right side of the case shows that there is some hidden cable management there with a couple of straps included. This is probably equivalent to upgrading your CPU heatsink/fan combo without spending anything extra. The second picture shows the included 140mm top and 120mm rear Antec Tri-Cool (i.e., three speed) fans, which are in the perfect spot to draw the air directly from the CPU on most motherboards. That said, very few people would ever need more than three - many only needing one. Only three of those are truly externally accessible (unlike the Antec Nine Hundred where there are nine externally accessible drive bays). The first picture below (click on the thumbnail to expand the picture) shows that the case has nine 5 1/4" drive bays. Let's get right into it (literally), shall we? Peeking into an empty case can only reveal so much, but it's nice to note how much room this case has for a mid-tower case. I'll also point out a few things I would have like to have seen. I'll point out the little extras that make this case a bit more of an extra value. The latter case a great deal since there are no quality 120mm fans for difference in cost.Įither way, that's a very good price for a very solid case. Antec later introduced the Antec Three Hundred Illusion case which goes for about $70 that includes two Antec 120mm three speed fans in the front drive bays.

The Antec Three Hundred sells at from $45 to $70 depending on your luck plus shipping. (The link is to the newer Antec Three Hundred Two, which is the replacement.) Cheap, But Not Cheap Since I really love my Antec Nine Hundred case, but I didn't need quite the same room for this build, I decided to try its little brother the Antec Three Hundred. Time for a new case to handle the heat generation of dual GPUs and the CPU. It only had two fans (other than the fan in the PSU): an 80mm fan sucking in air at the bottom front and a 60mm fan in the top back, just below the power supply. I couldn't find a model number on it anywhere, but its QC stamp was from 2000. This was a very old Antec case and lacked sufficient airflow. I recently upgraded my son's gaming PC to dual Nvidia 8800 GTs in SLI and immediately noticed the temperatures were much higher than they should be.
