The Antec 300...

[Arcmanov]

The Antec 900's 'little' brother...



Almost as much airflow as the 900, for a whole lot less.


Nice review here.

My only beefs are:  No side window
                             Front/side fan(s) not included

for real arc. how will we see our lovely RAM? lol

[haterforever]

do any stores stock this case?

[Fkacn_tt]

so far i've trind Diamond systems, tech9, pwr they all don't carry it. If you want to get one try amazon they have it for under $60 which is really, but you will most likely come out to more after your skybox and customs charges.

[haterforever]

any cases they sell local that similar to it or have the same results? i wouldn't like to ship something that heavy.

and do cases get taxed or are they recognised as computer parts?

prw have the centurion 5 for <500 is a good case as long as you not planning to use a crap load of hdds and anything bigger than a 4890.

the cable management is about the same as the 300

Your 1st question has been answered quite well.  With regard to cases, there are currently
no VAT/duty charges applied, as its treated as a whole computer.

i see that bztech in curepe is selling the thermatake WING RS100 for 595 and it have some good reviews on the net. is that worth it and similar to the 690 or v5?

[Netizen1]

funny how O/C promoting the CM690 after he blasted me on MSN for liking it over his NZXT case

[Nephilim]

which nzxt case?

i love my 690 but for the right nzxt i would ditch that like yesterday

[Arcmanov]

Perhaps the NZXT Panzerbox.....?

Perhaps the NZXT Panzerbox.....?

Ok i'll soooo get that case just to use the mb backplate and the expansion card bracket. I not using anything else.

As for the rest of the case...*Fugly alert*

[Philosophical45]

the one thing i don't like about the panzer box is the PSU mount... interesting idea, but just a blocker to me

[Nephilim]

i was thinking the wisper but that go wuk too

[Arcmanov]

Think about it though...they intentionally have the PSU there to either exhaust hot air from the case innards,
or to get cool air from outside...however you happen to orient it.  I wasn't too keen on it at first, but now
I understand the design.  It actually made the case a lot shorter.

The cooler master 690 was too big for my needs so i ended up getting the coolermaster elite, same length and width, jus shorter. the 690 did look impressive though
