Cons:
Cable length
Pros: CheapWell builtBlackCooling options Comment:
This is an all around good case, you can't really miss at that price.The only concern is the cable length, i couldn't reach the audio connector, the USB was at reach and i had to extend (what a pain) all the other ones to reach the leds and swithes connectors.So choose your motherboard carefully if you don't wanna have to return it just because you cannot reach the connectors. |

Cons: Doesn't ship with any 120mm fans for the front drive bays. The front USB ports are upside down to what I'd expect a USB port to be. A minor annoyance, not worth deducting stars over.
Pros: Silent 120mm Fan with a 3 position switch for adjusting fan speed manually. Sturdy construction at a cheap price. All cables/ports/lights worked flawlessly Comment:
All cables reached my motherboard (Gigabyte 785g-ud3h) There is space for some cable management on the board side of the drive bays. The side panels are sturdy when attached but feel a little flimsy when you take them off. Just be careful where you set them and you should be fine.For the money I think it's a great case. |

Cons: Side panel feels very thinTop mounted PSURear fan has only 2 speed
Pros: Cheap (price)Fairly quietLots of room for HDDWell cooledNice looking (better than the pictures show) Comment:
I have had no problems regarding cables length inside this case. My motherboard is a Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H. Overall, this is a great budget case and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again. I got it on boxing day special which made the price even more attractive. |

Cons: Front panel connection wires very short
Pros: front loading drive bays, removable fan cage, inexpensive yet with a quality feel to it Comment:
Overall a great case for the price, however the wires for the front panel connectors & switch are far too short. Never mind having enough slack to consider cable management, all the wires but the audio are too short for Gigabyte ATX motherboards, requiring the uppermost 5-1/2" drive bay to be empty to allow enough slack in the wires to reach, and even then... a difficult stretch. In addition, I made the mistake of installing the video card, PSU wires, DVD & hard drives prior to plugging in the front panel, and had to remove em all to get the wires to reach & plug in.

Cons: No speed sensor on the included fan.Short front audio cable.
Pros: Low price.Good airflow. Comment:
I got this case on the boxing day sale for my new core i7 build. It is an excellent budget case. It comes with a 2-speed 120mm rear fan and has room for 2 more 120mm fans at the front. I wish that the included fan had a speed monitoring connector (it just has a normal molex connector). The only problem I have with this case is that the front audio cable is too short to reach the connector on the motherboard (asus p7p55d), but that is more of a bad design on the part of asus for putting the front audio connector at the lower rear corner of the motherboard than it is the fault of antec. |

Cons: For the price, nothing really.
Pros: Good budget case for budget builds Comment:
I find this is a great case for budget builds. Not quite as nice as the antec 300, but still antec manages to make a reasonable case for a reasonable price (on sale of course).There's nothing special about this case and it's got ample front and rear cooling.In the end it's a very solid "does the job" case and would likely buy again unless antec comes out with something else better in the same price range. |

Cons: Fat plastic meshing on front fan mountsTop mount PSU
Pros: CheapRoom for 4 dual slot gpus Professional lookingVery little vibrationPretty LEDSAwesome dust filtering Comment:
I bought this case for my folding rig, consisting of 4x 9600gso's on a k9a2 platinum motherboard. This was the cheapest case that could house several hard drives, a nice heatsink and 4 dual slot cooler video cards. My only wish is that the front fan mounts were like the ones in the antec 300, and that it had a bottom mounted power supply. I absolutely love this case, couldn't have been happier for the price I paid. |

Cons: Power LED doesn't workCase metal too thin and flimsyUgly Front/CD Drive sticks out more than grille
Pros: AirflowAirflowAirflow Comment:
I would never buy this case again, I thought Antec was better than this. The power LED does not work, even when I reverse the pins. I think the LED itself is defective. The metal is so thin that the side panels flex just touching them. The front design looks like an old white Pentium 2 case I owned years ago....UGLY.Very weak product. But I needed to do this build and could not wait for an RMA...which sucks. NCIX rocks by the way! VSK-2000 case doesn't...lol. |
This case is an ok case. The metal is sturdy and ventilation is good. But I expect more from an Antec case. I know it's priced for a cheap build, but we're seeing many cases from other brands that provide better value for the same price range.
