Antec have packaged the Three Hundred Two in their typical fashion, with the yellow stripe on the one side of the box. We like the artistic angled view of the case pictured on the front of the box.
The back of the box details several of the key features of this case, including; maximum expandability, maximum cooling and ease of use.
Antec have protected their case with two Styrofoam blocks on the top and bottom, and not, as is more typical, on the sides.
The Antec Three Hundred Two may look familiar, but there are a few subtle changes from the original Three Hundred Chassis.
We noticed that on top of the chassis, there were now two watercooling holes with rubber grommets, as well as the original 140mm fan.
The left-hand side of the case hasn't changed at all, and can still fit a 120mm fan. We are surprised they haven't made this grill larger to cater for at least a 140mm fan.
On the right-hand side we see another of the additions Antec have added to their new update; a 120mm fan can now be fitted behind the motherboard tray.
The chassis features a perforated front bezel, to allow for maximum air intake, but this is something that nearly all new high-performance towers feature. They have also updated the USB ports to USB 3.0, while keeping the Headphone/Microphone sockets and the on/off buttons the same.
The back of the chassis now also features an extra PCI expansion slot, taking the total up to 8, as well as a PCI retention bracket.
The bottom of the chassis features 4 large feet, but only has mesh to allow air into the power supply and not the rest of the chassis.
The Antec Three Hundred Two comes with a product overview, a collection of screws and 12 x 3.5″ HDD slides.
The company have not included an installation guide which may cause a few problems as there are many screws to choose from, all stored in a single bag.
