Looks like a good solid value case for around 30 quid???
Inside sprayed black aswell. Weird thing is that they have an external 3.5 inch bay, but with no external way of accessing it....
BLACK INSIDE. For £45, that's a rarity. Looking forward to recommending this.
Very impressive for the price, has more features than I would have expected - the black interior is particularly good. I'd still choose the ThreeHundred though

Not bad. Don't suppose it has 2.5" mounting points for SSDs?
I'd prefer the Beta for the design quietness. Front coverage of HDDs versus vents stops a lot of noise.
Unbeliveable ,usually all the new performance/gamer chassis have the PSU at the bottom , NZXT went back with an already obsolete case with the PSU on the roof
To be honest I like the inside of the case of silver color , my new Antec 902 was black inside, I fixed this problem and sprayed all the inside of this case with silver color
Why is that obsolete? it's not that having the PSU at the top still is bad...
Ugly as sin
All the new cases made by : Antec, Coolermaster, Silverstone, Thermaltake, Lian-li, Zalman, Hyper, Xclio, etc etc , have the PSU at the bottom , I think must be a good reason for this tendencyOriginally Posted by sammorris
That does not make it obsolete, it just makes it different. There is no real advantage to having a bottom mount PSU in most systems, it's just a current trend.
It's interesting, depending on what case people own, you can get a rough idea of how willing they'd be to use something else. People who use bare basic cheap cases tend not to care what they buy as long as it's cheap. People who have Aspire/Apevia/XClio etc. cases tend to only buy cases if they either have blue LEDs or huge fans. People who have Lian-Lis refuse to accept any other brand, and people who own Antec Nine Hundreds refuse to own anything but, not even a different Antec case. This was one of the reasons I sold mine, I didn't like being tagged along with all the other uninspired owners. The case was also really poorly designed. Thankfully the newer version is much better.
Looks pretty basic and ugly on the outside, but on the inside it looks nice with the black, 5 side facing HDD slots and seems to have decent cabling slots.

Yeah the front I'll agree is rather controversially styled, but I've seen far worse.
They can charge more for PSU cables?
PCs have been fine with PSU at the top for years and years.
any idea when this would be release in the UK??
Nice low price for a decent no frills case. I don't mind the ugly side (I mean it's not that bad looking), I prefer functionality over style.
