few pics of the Antec 300 i used for my WIndows Home Server.It may not be a gamers dream but i love this case as a standard. im gonna start using it in future builds as a standard case.
I'm leaning towards picking one of these up and was curious as to what you meant by "not a gamer's dream"? I run 1 video card, 2-3 hard drives, and one DVD drive and this case looks like it has plenty of room to handle all of that with ease? What are the negatives?
Will a 4870 fit in this?

I like the case a lot. As shown in the last picture above, there is a nice place to tidy up extra cables. I have one as my server (big dent in the roof, actually bent the frame... Thanks UPS!) and a 2nd for my "daily driver". It has sufficient room hard drives, big power supplies and my 8800GTX fits in there just fine. The case only comes with a 120mm rear fan, and 140mm top fan. There are provisions for 2 120mm front and 1 120mm side fan, but they are not provided. Not a huge negative, as I'd rather have something a little better than the Tri-Cools anyway... but just wanted to make potential buyers aware of it.
my antec 300 came with rear 120mm fan, top 140mm fan and 1 front 120mm fans. i just bought one more 120mm for the front. either you got shorted or i got lucky.
I just got my Antec 300 yesterday and I must say for $60 bucks I'm very impressed. The only dowsides are:
1) When I unpacked it and took off the side panel I saw the 140mm fan at the bottom of the case. I was like WTF!! But I just stuck it back in at the top and now it seems secure. Anyone else had this issue?
2) I also got an extra 120mm fan like you Rouge71. I wanted to mount it on the side panel but unfortunately Antec didnt provide any screws for that type of installation. I already have 2 120mm tricools to put in the front. Anyone know where I can get the screws from to install this fan on the side?
I will post pics tonight for you guys to see.
I did get an extra fan, but it doesn't come with the case. According to the enclosed literature, it said that there was a post QI issue with the fans, so a "replacement" fan was included to replace any fan that might fail.
From Newegg:
Cooling System
80mm Fans No
120mm Fans 1 x 120mm rear fan
140mm Fans 1 x 140mm top fan

Ahh...makes more sense now. The fact that it has no side window or LED fans are actually some of the biggest reasons I like this case. I want a solid box that has good airflow and looks mean sitting next to the rest of my stuff and this seems to fit the bill.
