Vancouver, BC | Antec's Performance One and Gaming series of chassis all have bottom mounted PSUs and are of fairly good quality. |

Antec 300 as well. Just wish Antec would do a removable motherboard tray. |

I'm in the market myself for new components and had decided on the following Antec 300 Illusion case. It's currently on sale for $59.99 w/free shipping and has excellent reviews on there.

| Well it has a little over twice as many reviews so it's comparing apples to oranges, but the average review is lower than those posted on the Antec 300 Illusion and it costs fifty percent more.
That said I have read excellent reviews of the Storm Scout and it is very reasonably priced for that quality of case. Personally I would opt for this case if it were in my budget to do so. Actually I would go for the Antec 900 Two, but it costs around $120(has a side window and excellent cable management) So it becomes a personal choice and depends on your budget.

| I like the looks of that you said it has good cable managemen.t Which is a plus I like the clear side and where the psu will go. This is a better choice than the other one. It may cost a bit more but it will be worth it if it has decent cable management. |

|  Actually I was referring to the Antec 900 Two when I said it is suppose to have excellent cable management. It also has a side window, bottom mount PSU. The only consistent complaints I have read on it is that those utilizing dual-large video cards restrict access to some of their hard drive bays.
But.. it costs $120 so it's $30 more than the Scout. Actually the two cases appear very similar on the interior so I think you would be satisfied with your choice of this Cooler Master Scout. It also appears to have good cable management. The Antec has individual adjustable fan controls but other than that the cases are very similar in features.

I've got three of these Cooler Master cases. Love'em.
Plenty of room for just about everything you'll ever need to stuff inside a case. $10.00 Savings at the moment.

And if you want to add more internal HDD's they have a add-on drive cage. Very handy too.

Cooler Master is a good choice for value in a case. Other than that 590 many people like the 690. |

| I have a 900 - no complaints from me although It would be nice to have filters for the fan included. I am left handed so I would really like a removable motherboard tray.

If possible, run all connections to the motherboard behind/underneath the motherboard. Take pics of your current setup and maybe we'll be able to better determine a solution. |
