Antec Two Hundred Case Review

Conclusions

Antec Two Hundred is a mid-tower case targeted to the user that wants an inexpensive mid-tower case with some interesting features. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.

Strong Points

• Hot swap external bay for one 3.5” hard drive or solid state drive.
• Good mesh on the front panel in front of the hard disk drives.
• Hole in the motherboard tray for accessing the backplate of the CPU cooler.
• No sharp edges where you could cut yourself while building your PC.
• Good number of hard disk drive bays (six, plus the hot swap bay).
• Two-speed controller for the top and rear fans.
• Excellent price.

Weak Points

• Bay covers could be meshed.
• Slot covers could be meshed.
• No eSATA port.
• No noise absorbing mechanisms for the hard disk drives.
• No screwless mechanisms for installing drives.
• No support for floppy disk drives (who still uses a floppy anyway?).

Although very well priced, other products on the same price range may offer a better selection of features for the average user, like Cooler Master Gladiator 600 and NZXT M59 – unless, of course, you can’t live without the external hot-swap bay.
