robertiscool · 09-08-2008, 08:57 AM

whats the difference between these besides the bigger fans on the 900? Is it Bigger inside?

I'm upgrading from and old Tower thats like 8 years old

, im on a budget and i can get the 300 for $60 or the 900 for $130. Is it really worth the price difference?

Thanks for your help.

The 900 is bigger, plus it has better cooling. Bigger system allow for better airflow which of course leads to better cooling. If you're a gamer who pushes their PC to the limit or games for hours on end. Than you're gonna want a PC case that allows for great cooling.

I'm getting the 900 soon.. its looks better and has alot better airflow then the 300, if u got the money and need a cooled computer then get the 900.

Theres also a 1200 with another front fan but at a ridiculous price .

And another rear exhaust fan, and a mount for a middle fan on one of the drive bays, and a lot more room to work in, and a lot of room behind the motherboard tray to run cables. Of course, the black paint job on the inside looks real good too.

the 900 has a middle fan too, but it cant be used when a full size gfx card is installed like in the 1200...which i think for a 2 or 3 sli 9800gx2 or crossfired 4870x2's, would be REALLLLLY worth the great extra cost.

I have an Antec 900 that I bought for about 100ish.

Worth every penny, the top fan is somewhat of a monster.
