OK I've got a new gaming build coming up around the end of June and i've been trying to settle on a case, I've narrowed it down to the CM Centurion 590 and the Antec 300 but I just can't decide between them. Please give me your opionions to help me decide! (they cost about the same from OCUK)
Here are my thoughts so far:
CM 590:
Pros:
Lots of space
Good cable management
Semi-Toolless design
looks good
Cons:
lots of mesh and no filters... Dust!
Have read that the side vent ports are noisy because there is no clearance... Bad!
Only 4 HDD bays.. I may need more within a couple of years
Some say the build quality isn't the best
Antec 300:
Pros:
Looks sweet
Has filters on the intakes plus easy access to the fans
takes 6 HDDs
Has a nice big 140mm exhaust at the top
Cons:
A bit cramped
cable management is a B at best though a modular PSU will help
Interior is pretty basic, lots of screws
At the moment i'm leaning toward the Antec 300 and perhaps dremeling holes into the mobo tray... or I might just not bother, after all there is no window and with a modular PSU the cables shouldn't be that bad.
