Not long ago, Antec rocked the gaming world with the release of the Nine Hundred case, and ever since, it seems every LAN party is packed with these cases.  Antec is now seeing if they can double down on the magic with the newly released Three Hundred case.  The Three Hundred is the latest in Antec's Gamer series, and fits in under both the Nine Hundred and the newer Twelve Hundred cases.

  • 18" (H) x 18.3" (D) x 8.1" (W)

  • Net Weight: 15.9lbs / 7.2kg

  • Gross Weight: 18.7lbs / 8.5kg

Outside: 

One thing about the Three Hundred that is different from many "gamer" cases out there is the lack of a window.  Perhaps this will be a detraction for some, it does help to keep the overall look of the case to be sleek and clean.  On the side is a 120mm fan port; the fan is included but not installed.  

Just like the Nine Hundred, the Three Hundred also makes the use of a 140mm blowhole.   In this case, the fan is not raised up like in the Nine Hundred, but flush with the rest of the case. 

The front of the Three Hundred is very similar to the Nine Hundred as well; the entire front is stealthed by a black metal mesh, which also has a washable air filter. 

Here we can see a close up of the I/O panel.  On the left we have the USB ports, in the middle is the microphone and headphone jacks, and on the right are the power and reset switches.  The reset switch is a little recessed and rather hard to push in.
