Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Silver Award

Antec Two Hundred is a mid-tower case targeted to the user that wants an inexpensive mid-tower case with some interesting features. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.



Strong Points

  • Hot swap external bay for one 3 ½” hard drive or solid state drive.
  • Good mesh on the front panel in front of the hard disk drives.
  • Hole in the motherboard tray for accessing the backplate of the CPU cooler.
  • No sharp edges where you could cut yourself while building your PC.
  • Good number of hard disk drive bays (six, plus the hot swap bay).
  • Two-speed controller for the top and rear fans.
  • Excellent price.

Weak Points

  • Bay covers could be meshed.
  • Slot covers could be meshed.
  • No eSATA port.
  • No noise absorbing mechanisms for the hard disk drives.
  • No screwless mechanisms for installing drives.
  • No support for floppy disk drives (who still uses a floppy anyway?).

Although very well priced, other products on the same price range may offer a better selection of features for the average user, like Cooler Master Gladiator 600 and NZXT M59 – unless, of course, you can’t live without the external hot-swap bay.
