For reference, I've started a list comparing the sizes of various computer cases....it might be helpful to some of you:

That's pretty useful.

Thanks.

Sure

I've expanded it to include all case sizes.....if there are any you'd like me to add, please provide a link

Nice list. But I would list the dimensions in the same format.

So its always for example W * H * D

Now you mix different ways of writing it.

You are absolutely right sir. I thought I had, but I had missed a few....it's fixed now

Antec Solo is on the list twice (once with the wrong volume calculation)

Thank you....the larger one was supposed to be the Antec P183....it's fixed now

For even quicker reference. You could always list if its a tower or a cube. I suppose one would easily see that on the dimensions... but maybe for some it would be nice.

I did consider that at first....and I haven't ruled it out. But I figured the links would be sufficient

Maybe I should still add the info back in.

Are there any other cases you guys would like to see listed?

Antec Two Hundred V2 could be added.

It's cheap ($20 less than the Three Hundred), about the size of a SOLO, bottom mounted PSU, and if you switch to SSDs you don't need suspension for hard drives.

I like the look of the Three Hundred better but when money is tight it pays to look at your options.

The only wish I have for either case is USB3 & eSATA on the front panel (I'll be watching for Antec to refresh cases for USB3 in the next 6 months)

Oh and buying the Two Hundred or Three Hundred will get you into the dented case lottery as apparently Antec doesn't pack these with enough protection to survive shipping. The QC is slightly suspect as well.

But in perfect condition I'd be willing to mod one of these with some self adhesive vinyl floor tiles and some foam to deal with the thin sheet metal.
