Question CM Centurion 590 VS. Antec 300

Antec 300


Centurion 590





Im just looking for some opinions here, Im not seeing a really big difference or am I missing something.

The one drawback on the Cooler master case is that there is no reset button on it??? Am i really going to miss having a reset button?

Antec 300 @ the egg

Centurion 590 @ the egg

i think between these two the 590 is better due to more pre cut fan holes. but i think the 300 is more convient for hooking up parts. but the 590 definitely has better airflow. and as for reset buttons, you can just take ur current case reset button and just wired into the case on ur motherboard and itll still work

I agree, the 590 has more fan spots available, hmm...

Only building up on front of the case, but that what the filters are for. Easy to clean though, snap it out, blow it off, snap it in.
