* New Rig mostly *

Sir Skully · 01-24-2009, 10:32 PM

I just bought this case two days ago. I put a Gigabyte EP45-UDP3 mobo, 2X Seagate HD 1 TB each with 32mb cache in RAID-0, 4gig OCZ 8500, 88OOGTX video card, E8400 cpu, OCZ 600watt psu with a blue led 120mm fan, two 120mm blue LED fans in front. For the cpu cooler, a Zalman 9700 with blue LED'S. The Antec 300 is one nice case, and easy to work with....Here's a link to the 300 case have a look see Antec - Three Hundred
Here also is a review of the case.....Antec 300 Gaming Case Review

Great case - I have the earlier precursor model. I don't plan on giving it up soon.

Did you try to eBay your old stuff?

Thanks, no just here and another hardware site. Truth be told. I really wanted to build a rig. I may try selling this rig on Craig's list.

Here's some pic's of my $39. case....

Sir Skully · 01-30-2009, 06:06 PM

Mo pic's

Sir Skully · 01-30-2009, 06:12 PM

and mo...I put a Plexiglass over the side fan hole. It looks in on the 120mm PSU blus led fan.

Hey Sir Scully,

I am curious...where do you get the money for all these cool machines?

Thanks
NBK

Sir Skully · 01-30-2009, 07:16 PM

I'm very, very RICH! I wish.....remember this is a $39. case, video card my old 8800GTX, and old memory, Zelman is also used, along with me ole E8400 CPU. But really This is my only vice....:magic
I couldn't believe the price of this case, it even has all thumb screws. Its really a great mid size case,

*zapionics<alt>* · 01-31-2009, 07:15 AM

I think the case looks excellent... possibly because its a direct rip of my Lian Li PC-A17... (only about 10x cheaper)...

many of the lower end boxes are looking very cool these days...

Thanks guys, I built this for my wife. I had a lot of extra parts, even the PSU was from a past build. But she is happy with her old rig. Its gone a be hard to let this rig go, as I may sell it. I turned down the Zalman and all the other fans to around 1200 to 1600 rpm. So its a quiet box and still cools quite well. In fact the oc'ed E8400 CPU is stable @ 3800mhz. Here is another couple pic'c one is of the side door fan hole. I had a 120 piece of Plexiglass so I covered the side hole to give it a small lattice looking window, that looks in on the blue led 12Omm PSU fan.

How true, I've been using it more then my main rig. In fact I'm using it now. I do have it listed on Craigs List for local sale. Most likely no one will buy it, I kind a hope it won't sell.....

Nice rig Skully, though I'm not a fan of Mid tower cases (too cramped for my tastes).

Thanks, I also like big cases, as my main case is quite big. I really built this rig to sell. I was surprise at how nice of a mid tower case the Antec 300 is.
