    The only difference I can see between my Antec 300 and this is the cable management holes and the 2x 2.5" drive slots.. That's it.

    It even looks almost identical.

    Come on Antec, the 300 has been out for ages, we want new designs

    Yes it does seem identical to the 300 but as the 300 is so good I'm not sure I'd want it changed much. Its unobtrusive, well laid out and well built - its perfect for me and I'm not sure I'll be replacing it soon!

    Other places have pictures of the insides. Much much better.
    Decent cable management
    What looks a fan grill under the CPU ?
    Cut-out for the CPU cooler
    HDD trays reversed and are now tool-less. Add some sound proofing - I'd buy it.

    Had the Three Hundred few months back. Thought ok case, value so so. Now got NZXT Gamma for 2x less and I love it. Looks the job, performs well and costs twice less. Ok, maybe a bit lighter and not as thick steel. Who cares, it's sitting in same spot all the time. No more Antec for me. Just overpriced junk. PSU is another story. Very nice units.

    Why havent they bothered to paint the insides, i know theres no window but seeing those white harddrive bays through the front mesh looks horrible, and where have the 2x front 120mm mounts gone?

    You're right. Scratch my earlier post. It's off the list.
