This is my 3rd Antec case in 10 years. As with my other two, it can be difficult to add a 3.5" hard drive after you've installed a motherboard with a heatsink. There are better designs that make adding/removing 3.5" drives easier, but they cost more or are larger. Antec cases seem solid to me. You can steal the quality of the rental as it has been painted, everything on the front panel seems to be high quality. At some point I will probably ditch my oldest rig and go back to using the Antec case. In this case, there are no frills of silicone hard drive mounts, but if you ask me, my hard drive has less noise during startup in this case. Silicone hard drive mounts may be quieter in the steady state, but my Seagate hard drive has a rattling start-up when it starts up with silicone, which doesn't happen in this case. The 120mm fan is silent and controlled by the motherboard. I really like this new feature. This case has no speaker on the motherboard to hear the audio signal. It was a disappointment. I found you can buy it on ebay in China for $1.
