Anyone have any opinion about this casing? Seems pretty cheap at www.newegg.com $55 and good reviews. Even cheaper than the CM690 I'm currently using >.>.

Good design
Bottom mount PSU
2x 120mm front intakes
1x 140mm top
1x 120mm back
1x 120mm side

Anyone know where to get one in Malaysia? Really like this casing, thinking about shipping one from US if I can't find one here tongue.gif. Still pretty cheap I think even with shipping included.

But Antec 300 casing length is shorter than CM 690.

Looks small space inside.

Looks okay but not a tool-free design and it looks smaller than CM690. A bit square looks.

antec 300 cannot be compared to cm690
coz
1. cm690 got cable management holes on the mobo tray while antec 300 doesnt..
2. cm690 has more spacious interior while antec 300 cramped
3. cm690 has side mounted hdd bay while antec 300 has front mounted hdd bay
4. cm690 has a windowed sidepanel while antec 300 doesnt
5. and lastly cm690 looks more handsome than antec 300
