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.

 Antec Three Hundred August 28, 2008
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.
Great case, runs cool and quiet! August 17, 2008
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.
Nice looking, easy to work with August 15, 2008
Although the case name mentions Gaming, I would think this is better suited for casual home office/ budget home theatre.
I have just a DVD-RW in the top slot. The power and reset buttons are just above the top external bay; blending in with the facade. The power LED and ide LED are blue, quite small and right next to the reset.
The ability to add so many 120mm fans is opportunity to use low rpm cooling to keep the system quiet. I would however replace the switched Antecs with something along the line of SCYTHE 800rpm.
I did notice the 300 case is about an inch & a half less deep than my CoolerMaster 690; which I would suggest as a fabulous gaming case. This I point out to those who are concerned about length of high end video cards fitting inside.
I am adding internal memory card reader, but I had to order the 5.25 to 3.5 faceplate adapter from ANTEC.com store for 9.95 additional. (not included)
The aforementioned CoolerMaster included a 3.5 inch faceplate with its case.
Most won't need the adapter though.
I like the case for my non-gaming needs. Its a nice looking case; runs cool. My 690 is my gaming case.

This case is cheap, especially with the free shipping available here, but this is a back to basics case that leaves something to be desired. This case comes with two case fans and three open spaces where you can install your own fans. The Tricool fans are sub par in two areas; first of all, they have 4-pin Molex connectors that must be routed inline with your hard drives or CD/DVD drives and cannot be connected directly to the motherboard. It really isn't a good idea to be rerouting the power from your hard drive in this manner. Second of all, were you to obtain 4-pin Molex to 3-pin adapters and connect them to the slots on your motherboard, this would serve little purpose because your motherboard BIOS still cannot control the fans without that third wire, of which these have only two. I am in the process of replacing both fans at a cost of $20 including shipping so my motherboard can control the speed as needed for quiet or coolness.
Lastly, this case has no case speaker, and I wondered long and hard about why I had never heard any system beeps from my motherboard, until I realized there was simply nothing plugged into the speaker outlet on the motherboard because there's no speaker. And unlike some rumor I've heard online Antec will not send you a case speaker if you complain.
I bought this case trying to avoid flashing LED fans and windowed side panels, I wasn't expecting a nearly empty case.
Good Case July 31, 2008
I was building a case for Home office with occasional gaming and HD experience. This case fits perfectly for my needs, I used a EV 650W supply from ANtec, EVGA 8800GT card, Quad-core Q6600 Processor. This has 3 5.25 external and 6 3.5 internal bays. More than eonough for my needs. All the parts fit in without any problems, didn't have to adjust any thing. The case feels sturdy and looks roomier for a mini tower.
