    Product Description
    Impressively spacious and unbeatably reliable, the Antec Three Hundred is an unbeatable enclosure. Despite its eminently portable frame, the Three Hundred has enough room for an NVIDIA 8800 series graphics card, as well as six hard drives and a standard ATX motherboard. A cable management compartment keeps your system organized and the airflow unobstructed. A 120mm rear fan and 140mm top fan ensure that the case runs cool even when playing the most demanding games, while the sleek black finish gives it an extra stylish edge. 1 side optional 120 x 25 mm Fan to cool graphic cards 2x USB 2.0 Dimensions - Height 18 x Depth 18.3 x Width 8.1 (45.8x46.5x20.5cm) Weight - 15.9 pounds / 7.2kg

    5 out of 5 stars Amazon supports free shipping to Hawaii!   October 1, 2008

    The Antec Three Hundred case is perfect, it is very lightweight, has a sleek design, comes with ample cooling and all mounting surfaces have been logically placed. The black finish seems a little rushed on the dorsal surface but all other areas seem great. I have built more than 15 computers and this is by far the best price/quality case I have ever used. The only thing I dont like about it is that the mounting surface for the motherboard does not have raised plateus but rather utilizes the old hex male/female screws which should be fazed out by now.

    For people in Hawaii it is next to impossible to get free or cheap shipping on anything the size of a computer case. Amazon is the best place to find items which would be too costly to purchase online otherwise, and they dont charge a surcharge.

    This case is a good value if you can find it for $50 shipped. I purchased this for an office desktop PC. It ran fairly quiet but the front grill and 140mm fan on top made it a bit too noisy for me. I was replacing a 5 year old Dell and the Dell was far quieter. The biggest problem for me was the lack of rubber grommets for the hard drive enclosure which seemed to add a lot of vibration and noise to the case. I ended up returning this case and purchasing the Antec Sonata III which I'm extremely happy with. This case is to be very basic, but what else do you expect for $50?

    Pros:
    - Affordable for a basic system build
    - Includes two good quality Antec fans with 3-way speed control
    - Fits microATX and ATX MBs.
    - No bright indicator lights or fancy LEDs
    - Washable air filter
    Cons:
    - The power button feels a little cheap.
    - Reset button is impossible to use but who uses this anyway?
    - Quiet, but not as much as I prefer - much quieter than I expected
    - Cheap paint
    - No rubber grommets for the hard drive enclosure
    - No cable management
    - Washable air filter difficult to access

    If you like Antec, buy the Sonata III - it includes the power supply, looks much nicer, is a better quality case, and is nearly silent.



    4 out of 5 stars Antec Three Hundred computer case   September 6, 2008
    Lynn (PA)
    Purchased the Antec Three Hundred computer case through Amazon to build a new home computer which would be used for everyday computing as well as gaming.

    I've used Antec cases before, so was familiar with their very good build quality and features. The Three Hundred is a good compromise between a full-tower gamer's case like the Antec 1200 and the typical case designed solely for home or business computers. It is a mid-tower case, so it doesn't seem huge sitting on or next to our home desk, but it has ample room inside to take a full ATX gamer's motherboard and easily fits two large gaming video cards in "SLI" or "Crossfire" configuration without interference with other internal components.

    Interenal hard drive bays are accessed from the front of the case, which makes it easy to service, install or swap drives without disturbing other internal components (although you do have to remove the left side cover to access the latches that allow removal of the front bezel, but this is much easier than it sounds). There are no sharp edges inside the case; all edges are rolled, and the build is sturdy for a case in this price range. Antec supplied an adequate number of case and drive screws and motherboard stand-offs.

    Other features:
    - This case puts the power supply (not included) at the bottom, which makes the case more stable, but you may need a PS with long cables. I used an Antec TruPower Trio (also purchased through Amazon), which worked out fine. Excess cables can be tucked inside a built-in cable compartment alongside the internal drive bays, which has its own cable ties, for neatness and better cooling.
    - Antec supplies 2 large 3-speed fans with this case, one 120 mm blowing out the back and a 140 mm blowing out the top. It has provisions to add 3 additional fans, one on the side to provide additional cooling to the video cards, and 2 behind the front bezel, directly in front of the hard-drive bays. I closed-off the opening in the side panel, but added a 120 mm fan (with blue lighting!) blowing in from the front. So far this cooling arrangement seems adequate to my needs, but I can still add 2 more fans if I need to.
    - The front bezel is plastic, but removes and installs easily, and contains a washable, removable filter covering the area in front of the hard-drive bays.

    Cons:
    - The Three Hundred provides front access ports for headphone, microphone, and two USB 2.0 connections, but no IEEE 1394 or e-SATA ports.
    - There are 3 external 5.25-inch drive bays, but no 3.5-inch external bays. If you need to add a floppy drive, card reader, or other external 3.5-inch component, you'll need to find and purchase a 5.25-3.5 bay adapter (I did).
    - No case speaker is included.

    Summary: This is a very nice case for the price. Fit and finish are very good, and features are adequate for home/business or gaming. Not too large, but not too compact, either. Recommended.

    GOOD basic case that will keep computer cool,
    but you will have to add on case fans because
    only comes with one rear 120 and one top 140
    exhaust fans that will exhaust very good.



    4 out of 5 stars Great case, runs cool and quiet!   August 17, 2008
    Brian E. Siler (Collierville, TN)
    Interesting design, in that you mount the power supply at the bottom. At the top there is a large fan pushing air out and one on the back. The case fits together well, no phantom vibrations and the air coming out is always cool, despite my Quad core processor and 4 hard drives inside. Mounts to add 3 more fans, and a side compartment with twist ties to hide extra wire are nice extras.

    All in all a great case for the money, I would buy it again.

    Now for the negatives, which are all minor:

    1. No 3.5 floppy bay. Not for a floppy, but a multi-card reader. This is easily resolved with an adapter, but it would be nice not to have to buy the adapter.

    2. The power button seems a little flimsy.

    3. The front-panel jacks for usb/audio are at the top and easy to reach from the outside. However, the cable inside needs to be longer. All of my cables inside are routed neatly except this one, which has to run diagonally across the motherboard.
