The entry-level case of Antec's gaming series line-up looks to offer an alluring amount of performance at a very modest price tag. Can the ONE dominate at a price point where its sibling – the Three Hundred – once reigned supreme?
In terms of size, the ONE can be considered a compact mid-tower. It possesses 5x 3.5″ hard drive slots, 2x 2.5″ SSD mounts and 3x 5.25″ bays. Front panel USB 3.0 ports and a cable management system are worthwhile additions for a value-oriented case.
Sitting at the bottom of Antec's gaming case hierarchy, can the mid-tower ONE punch above its weight and earn a prestigious KitGuru award?

Good cheap case for a home server too IMO. my bud has one and its quite well made considering.
I would like to use this case for my over-clocked parts as it is most suitable.
For an entry level case I can’t complain, good airflow, silent operation for the open nature of the case. My only gripe as it is with any entry level case is the build quality. Stepping up a mere 40 dollars ALWAYS puts you into a whole other realm of quality. (Even on a budget build)
