Review on πŸ•ΆοΈ Antec Dapper Dark Phantom DP301M: Compact Micro-ATX Gaming Case with ARGB Lighting and Tempered Glass Side Panel by Bob Kussmaul

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best case for computers and accessories

Has my motherboard recognized the case? Or was it the case that determined the motherboard? I had two computers of different ages with multiple hard drives, judging by my photos and the Lightroom catalog. I wanted a motherboard and case that would support taking both systems out of service and building one system with all hard drives. This is the best case I could find for a motherboard that supports 8 SATA connections. Assembling a hard drive without hardware and an optical drive is just awesome. I have a 9 year old daughter who I asked to help me install all the hard drives except the boot hard drive (4 hard drives and 3 optical drives). I showed her how to assemble the hard drive clamps and then she placed all the drives in the case and connected the power and data cables to the drives. The suitcase is detachable, it was easy to get all the clutter out of the closet. The GameMax 750 watt power supply is perfect, and having two fans running is great. I'm not a gamer (although I bought an ASUS X-570 Plus motherboard), but this is the case with the fans, which are equipped with a silently running AMD Ryzen 8-core processor. In the best case!

Pros
  • Absolutely brilliant!
Cons
  • Almost never
