Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:I really cannot find a mentionable Con....
Pros:Based on online reviews, mainly through Newegg, I chose this case for features, quality, cost and cooling ability. I was not a bit disappointed.I was rebuilding the kid's gaming PC's and their current 'rad' cases were running hot, and loud. They need a bit of 'bling', but a couple of LED fans on the front of this case kept them happy (the Antec tri-Cool fans are great).This is a very well-built case with no sharp edges, the quality is high with no problem-tapped holes and was by far the easiest build I have made - I do a couple a year.If you want to mount two 120 mm fans up front, there are only three 5-1/4 external bays that can be used - up top.If you want full cooling capacity, you can add 2 120MM fans on the front and 1 120 mm. fan on the side panel.This arrangement is quiet (if fans are set on low) and has reduced the ambient case temp 12 C from the previous case. The CPU temp dropped 7 C.You will want to mount the PSU upside down, otherwise it will strain for intak Comment:
My ULTRA 750 PSU fit precisely and was not a problem. They have several mounting options for PSU's. No funky 'easy mount' drive cages, but I am a fan of using tools - a huge bag of thumbscrews was included.Great cable mgt. options. No struggle with case sides. Finish good. Buttons not cheap. I simply cannot find a biiiiiaaaach with this case.Please take the time to add reviews here, because a lot of people - like me - take your advise |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:Loud fans
Pros:SmallCheapGood cooling Comment:
Not much bad to say about this case considering how much you pay for it. Comes with 3 fans (front intake, rear and top exhaust) but for whatever reason I can't get them to play friendly together (awful resonating noise no matter what speeds I set each fan to).Fits an ATX mobo no problem. You would think you would run into trouble with long video cards but my 5850 (which is anything but tiny) fits in with room to spare. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:-no air filter for the side intake-anything above low fan speeds too loud for me-metal seems a bit thin, but no issues
Pros:-sturdy-nice ventilation, even on low fan speeds-adjustable fanspeeds-bottom mounted PSU-air filter Comment:
This is an excellent all round case worth the $50 I paid for it. I taped up the side intake port because it had no dust filter.I have found even with my radeon 4850 single slot and overclocked Athlon II quad core, the fans on low are more than enough to take care of the heat. This case is basically the best budget case out there if you don't want anything fancy.I've been using it with my system for a long time but intend to upgrade to a more stylish case. My current antec 300 will then become an office computer, as on low the fans are sufficiently quiet. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:None that I can think of!
Pros:This is a great "all purpose" case. It is light years ahead of the Antec 900 in terms of usability. The front opening fan covers allowing drives to be inserted from the front is an excellent feature coupled with the easy to remove front panel. The dust filter is a nice touch too! Comment:
Basically I needed a case for my secondary LAN computer, something light and smaller then my 800D. This would make an excellent home server case as well. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:* If you want to mount lots of hard drives (like more than 3), you might have trouble with longer video cards.
Pros:* Good build quality* Well priced* Has air filter Comment:
Just finished a build with this case. I really like how everything is laid out and designed. I highly recommend getting two additional 120 mm case fan to put in the front. It helps with the air flow immensely.Both the included top 140 mm fan and the rear 120 mm were quiet and provide adequate air flow at low setting. I moved the included 120 tricool fan to the front and installed an Antec Smart Cool 120 mm in the back. Well, all I can say is... don't. The Smart Cool was noiser. Might have been because of the ambient temperature (which I don't know what it is) causing it to spin quicker. Don't know.I currently have one video card (MSI GTX465 GE unlocked) installed. Despite the long length of the video card, it can still fit in the case. But unless doing some very creative, I probably can't install any harddrives at the same height as where I have the video card. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:Came with a scratch on the left side. Top fan was very noisy if turned on to high speed.
Pros:Case looks great, fits the budget. A lot of space and slots for drives and fans. Comment:
I got this after I saw my friend use the same case. The power supply installs at the bottom of the case, instead of at the top like many other cases. Make sure your power supply cables are long enough to get from the bottom corner to the top corner for dvd bays. |

Cons:None so far.
Pros:Very easy to work with, I was able to route wires with not too much troubles. Seems somewhat durable and customer is very happy with it. Comment:
Purchased for a build for a friend and he was very pleased with product. It's large enough and with lots of fans it helps components to stay cool. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:-Looks Boring (said my gf)-No Side air filter-
Pros:-Air Filter-Easy to open and clean, simple design with not alot of grooves for dust to accumulate in.-CHEAP $49.99 after pricematch-Lots of Room to work in Comment:
In the end, this is a very great deal for a case. Love the air filters. I have 3 dogs so it can get pretty dusty in my room. Dust and fur easily get filtered and cleaning is a breeze. Only bad thing is that there is no side air filter but this can easily be customized. |

Cons:No floppy drive slot
Pros:Cool, Black, Spacious, lots of room for airflow. Comment:
This case fit my build very nicely, you can get a couple of fans for the front to boost airflow, and you can control the fans manually (this can also be a downside). |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:none
Pros:Good airflow, well priced, lots of room Comment:
I havent received the two I just ordered quite yet but my friend has one so I already know what to say about it. There is excellent airflow in this case (although i recommend getting a fan for the front intake), has lots of room for longer graphics cards. I hear the new model has a cut out on the back for heatsink removal etc but we will see about that when I get mine! I will update review later on. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:None so far
Pros:Price, Sleek looking, excellent airflow in terms of space for fans, compartment for cable management, after-market cpu cooler friendly. Comment:
I had purchased this case for my new pc build. It's small but was able to hold all of my parts without problem with enough room to allow for good air flow. Having a cutout on the back of where the CPU is located allows for easy installation of after-market heat sinks without the need for removing the motherboard. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:cheap looking
Pros:SolidCheapA lot of Thumb screws Comment:
After using this case for a very cheap budget build, I'm not surprised that this is one of the best cases on the market. Its a very solid case with a lot of good features. The front bezel easily comes off and so does the air filter that is attached to it. The front case fans are also easily accessible with perfect holes for cable management. Speaking of cable management, the two reusable traps for cables are a great addition to this case. The case comes with a large amount of thumb screws which helps for tool-less operations.The way I see it, I paid $28 for an incredible case and $20 for two tri-speed case fans. |

Cons:-Longer video cards hit one hard drive.-Thin walls?
Pros:+Cheap+Cool+Bottom PSU+fairly quiet with fans on low Comment:
This has to be the best value case on the market. It is easy to work in(changing a hard drive is only faster in cases with drive sleds).The newer ones now come with a cutout for accessing the back of the motherboard. This case is worth every penny. I think I would even build in this before the 900 now just for the easy hard drive swapping. |

Pros:Simple look is nice, sleek blackAll my parts fit in fine.Air circulation is decent.Good valueStock fans are pretty good Comment:
Looks great in my opinion. Air flow is pretty good, but I would have preferred 1 more 120mm fan slot. Stock fans work fine, replaced the 120mm though. Installation was easy, fairly self explanatory. Easy to open the case and reassemble. Solid design, doesn't feel cheap. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:Power button's spring feels cheesy (too much give). Reset button is awkwardly tiny but it's rarely used anyhow.
Pros:Dust filter & quiet stock Antec Tri-cool fans. Bottom mount PSU is good for HSF's that will only mount up/down with no front/back orientation on AM2+/AM3 boards since it exhausts out the top instead of into the PSU. Spacious and good airflow. Case has a discrete look - nothing outrageous and no sharp edges. Comment:
Great value oriented performance case. Nothing fancy but it serves its purpose well. Spacious good looking design and good airflow with a useful and easy to clean dust filter. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:UglyPower button the top could be mistaken for open/close button on DVD/BD ROM.
Pros:Good value for the performanceGood size (was able to fit a 5850 care without issue) Comment:
The case is sturdy and good value for the price. Lots of room in the case and no sharp edges. Overall, I'm quite please with the case. Mounting hard drives and DVD-ROM were easy. However, the power and reset buttons are near the of the system. If you have a DVD/BD ROM in the top bay, you may accidentally press the power/reset buttons instead of the open/close button. |

Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case
Cons:PSU cable may not be long enoughSide intake has no filter
Pros:Good qualityFront bezel provides good air flowIncludes both top and back fan, both Tri-coolMotherboard tray has opening for installing heatsinks Comment:
I enjoyed building with this case. The over all quality is excellent, and all the accessories are included. For this new revision the motherboard tray has an opening that makes installing heatsinks easier (different from what the picture shows). One flaw that this case design has is the bottom placement of the PSU. Make sure you check the PSU cables are long enough to reach your motherboard. Another complain is that the side intake has no filter, but the front bezels all have filters. |
Can't go wrong with the Antec 300. A very popular case, especially if you're on a budget and don't want to spend too much. Unfortunately, the interior lacks paint and the only cable management is a little area beside the hard drive rack. Decent amount of fan holes, and fans are very easily mounted on the front which I like. I'd buy it again.
