Antec 302 or Bitfenix Shinobi (No Window)

I'm not one to have a windowed case, and the place I'm buying my case from (Canadacomputers) have damaged my case so their giving me the option to get a case of equal value or deduct the price of the old one off a more expensive case, and I only have 20.00 left on my PP and I only get a 50.00 discount so. 400R is out of the option. However I just watched a NCIX case review thing and the cable management on the Antec 302 cable management seems quite robust. So I think that is case I shall order.

After look at pics of the Shinobi it would seem it has back panel access as well, so you can do just as much cable management. Both cases are good though. Shinobi just has more airflow

Well I took a look at both cases thoroughly, That LinusTechTips has done reviews on both the cases and the Antec 302 looks to be more of what I need, It has a bigger cable management area, as well as a USB 3.0 on the case already which the shinobi doesn't. So I've made my purchase, thanks for the input everyone.

I will get that updated.
Please see our announcement for confirmation that Shinobi's indeed have USB 3.0.

Edit: I have updated the BitFenix webpage to display that Shinobi's now come with USB 3.0



Awesome news! I personally would always go bitfenix over an antec even if it did not have 3.0. Good to see the Shinobi is getting some love. Cant wait for the new Ivy Bridge info so I can buy a Bitfenix case for my new Build.
