Antec 300 Case Review

This is a quick review of the Ante 300 case.
This is a nice non flamboyant case that has the gamer in mind. I personally am a fan of this case, I used to have one, because of the sleek look of the case and the good cooling capacity. 

The 300 is made from heavy duty perforated steel panels which gives the case a sturdy build, yet not the lightest. It has three 5.25" bays for CD/DVD drives and it has six 3.5" bays for hard drives and a bottom mounted 2.5" mount for your SSD. 

The case has two front fans, one top mounted fan and one rear mounted fan. Thus giving the case sufficient cooling for gaming components.
The inside of the case is not finished with the black like its younger sibling the Antec 100 yet it has the same cable management solutions that you would find in the Antec 100. It has the cut out so that the motherboard processor mount can be changed easily. It also has the bottom mounted PSU helping in the cable management.
Overall the Antec 300 case is a very good case for gaming and high end use. I would say it is not suitable for water-cooling or dual graphics card set up as it does not have enough room and cooling for this. It would have been nice to see the black interior like the Antec 100 but that is just personal opinion. I would also have been nice to have dual 120mm fan mounts on the roof and back but this is approaching on its main gaming cases the Dark Fleet series.
