In Pictures: The Last Three Sub-$100 Gaming Cases, Previewed

Atop The GT1

A set of clips inside the GT1’s top panel secure a pair of 120 mm exhaust fans. Any radiator placed here would need to be passively cooled, as there isn’t enough room above the motherboard to hold both the fans and a radiator.

Inside The GT1

Behind intake fans, two cages that could hold up to seven 3.5” drives are filled with only six trays. In addition to tray holes, a 2.5” drive mount is built into the divider between these cages.

GT1 Cable Management

With little offset in its motherboard tray, the GT1 relies on a side-panel extension to rout the power supply's eight-pin auxiliary cable to your motherboard. The tray steps inward near drive cages to hold the 24-pin ATX cable, and access holes are reserved to the stepped-in portion of the tray.

Not to be confused with other connectors of similar design, a three-pin connector is wired to a custom four-pin adapter to control fan speed. Additional four-pin fans must be daisy-chained to the first adapter, and the output end of the adapter must only be used for fans.

GT1 Induction

A single 120 mm intake fan with clip-on dust filter occupies the bottom of a two-fan intake mount, behind the GT1’s face panel. Hook tabs hold the right side of the face panel, while a trio of finger tabs secures the left.

More GT1 Dust Prevention

Filter mesh covers the GT1’s power supply intake and bottom fan mount. These must be wiggled out of their holding tabs for cleaning.

GT1 Drive Dock

Internal drives can be docked externally to the GT1’s top mount, which is designed for 3.5” disks. The left edge acts as a guide for 2.5” SSD/hard drive installation.

    I must not be the only one who prefer Antec One over the GX700.

    I like the look of the GX700. I think the military style/design is pretty cool, but the flip cover for the fan control is great. "Too close for missiles, im switching to guns!"

    I think the Corsair 200R and 300R needs some more attention.

    I don't think the 200R has been reviewed, but the 300R definitely has.

    I don't really like the look of the Antec GX700 - it kind of looks like it belongs in a locker room.

    I'm not sure I cared for any of these. In Win's branding is too prominent, the Antec seems to be lacking in cable management, and CM is never an option, for other reasons.
