Antec are a company who are continually adapting and improving their product range. Today we are looking at the Three Hundred Two, an update to the popular Three Hundred released way back in 2008.

The original case sold well at around the £40 mark, although in today's market it is looking rather dated.

There are several key improvements that the company have made over the original Three Hundred version; firstly adding dedicated 2.5″ bays, watercooling support in the form of two grommets on top, improved cooling options, and upgraded USB 3.0 ports.

We know the competition in this sector is tough, so is this update enough to keep the Antec classic selling well?
