Though gaming hardware is known for being part of the higher half of the market, there are still such things as gaming-oriented lower-level products, such as the new case from Antec.

Like all of the other companies on the consumer IT market, Antec has a so-called collection of hardware intended for gaming purposes.

In the case of PC enclosures, that line actually bears the name of Gaming Series, name which is usually enough to suggest better than average specifications.

On the other hand, Antec is well aware of the fact that gamers come in many varieties and have differing financial resources.

As such, it had to make sure that its product line is accessible to as wide a part of the market as possible.

Thus, the gaming Series of PC chassis includes more than just high-end cases with intricate internal layout and color schemes.

In fact, the most recent chassis to join the ranks of this collection, and which is dubbed One Hundred, seems to pay spacial mind to affordability.

Basically, it comes with a practical external design, with the I/O panel mounted on top and featuring four USB 2.0 connectors, plus audio and microphone jacks.

There are also three exposed 5.25-inch drive bays, for optical drives or other accessories, while the inside can accommodate six 3.5-inch HDDs (hard disk drives) among other things.

There are also two TwoCool fans, one at the rear (120mm) and another, 140mm spinner at the top.

All in all, the newcomer measures 480.5 x 197.5 x 477 mm and was supposedly exposed by early listings in certain European online stores. The price currently associated with it is of 49 Euro.

Basically, this chassis should be accessible to any and all consumers that are not looking for an overly feature-packed case, being more inclined towards affordable practicality than expensive convenience.
