so i want to get a new case soon, and saw the Antec One Hundred Window.

my friend is whining at me to get an Antec Three Hundred, but i just dont like it. id way rather have the One Hundred window.

so my question is, would anyone recommend the One Hundred or should i get the Three Hundred and get a window kit for it
 
The Antec 300 is $64.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=antec+300&x=0&y=0
The HAF 912 is 59.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&Tpk=haf 912

on top of that, you will still have issues with the antec and cable management. No matter if it is a modular or not, you still have the P1, P4, SATA power, PCIe power, and SATA data cables running through the case. The HAF will make it easy to hide them behind the motherboard. The antec, you are probably stuck with zip ties, which means every time you add a cable, or need to replace a cable, you will be doomed to redoing your whole cable management setup. The CM case, just pop the back off and get the cable you need and your fine.

I can't find the 100 window on newegg for price comparison, but Im almost sure there are better options.
 
yeah but im not from the US, and the HAF 912 is €75 and the One Hundred window is €56.

i can still conseal the cables to run around the inside of the case, i dont want to spend too much on a case for a simple build. my next build will go all out with a HAF 922 or better.

EDIT: for €40 i can get the CoolerMaster RC-430, also a good idea right?

it seems that the RC-430 doesn't have much better cable management than the Antec does.

If your looking for advice, I think the airflow and management features would be worth the 19 euros extra. If your looking for a Side window, then I am not really sure what would be better. The 100 may be a good option, just depends on what you want from your case.
 
I just want a case so i can look through the window and has a reasonable airflow, nothing much really
 
Ill look around after school and see what I can find with reasonable cable management. So, around 1600 hours EDT and Ill be back (about 3 hours).
 
The HAF is a superior case. You won't be sorry if you go that way.

It's like buying a PSU, dont cheap out on a few bucks to be kicking yourself later.

Spend a bit more on a solid case that you'll thank yourself for!!

yeah thats true, im going to seriously think about the haf 912, but also going to look for other options.
 
Get the antec 302, it just came out, and will fix all the issues with cable management you may have had. People dont check these things :P
 
302 is avaliable on newegg right now, 100 window, i cant even see anywhere, tho i did see a review of it on youtube, it does have cable management, so if you can find it, grab it, looks good to me.
 
Ill give you that one. When I looked the other day I couldn't find it. Though I don't see $10 more than the 912 for it.
