Inside Continued:
A couple simple latches on the front panel allows it to be removed, allowing access to the front fan ports. The fan ports are secured by two thumb screws each.
Installation is pretty straight forward, the case had no issue accommodating a 7800GTX, or the Kingwin RVT-9225 heatsink. The wiring of the TriCool fans only supports the 4-pin Molex, which makes the wiring a little messy. Having the power supply at the bottom makes some of the cabling easier to hide, since it can be stashed at the bottom and hidden in the drive bay.
Here we can see how the system looks when it is powered up. Notice the blue power LED that is stealthed into the power switch; the HDD LED is just below it. I had a couple blue TriCools laying around, so I installed them as well. As you can see, they look very nice beneath the black mesh. Conclusion: Usually when you buy a case that is cheap, that is exactly what you get: "cheap". This is not the case with the Three Hundred. What you get with the Three Hundred is quality construction, top notch aesthetics, and airflow to die for. So is there anything that brings the Three Hundred down from its lofty pedestal? There are only a couple minor quibbles that I can think of, and they are truly minor. The reset switch is hard to push in, there are no extra screws to install the third cooling fan, the fans do not have three-pin connectors for the motherboard, and the drive bays are not tool-less.
