Antec DP301M Air Flow

[5h0ckw4v3]

Hi,

There's mini build plan going on but couldn't find a good review that explains about this, in depth.

 

Mobo: Asus ROG STRIX B360-I GAMING 8th Gen mini-ITX

CPU: i7 8700 (Non K)
Cooler: Cryorig H7

Case: Antec DP301M

 

The whole concept of this build is a compact footprint but with good airflow, because this might be used in a non-air-conditioned space from time to time. Also, the case dealer made me an offer, which I can't deny.

 

A good review of this case will be much appreciated.

I personally would grab a Thermaltake Versa H18 TG or a Coolermaster NR400 over that case since your primary concern is airflow. They can usually be found for around $45-60 USD

They aren't available where I live but the below mentioned are available.

1. Gamdias TALOS E1

2. Antec P5 Ultimate Silent

3. Bitfenix Prodigy Window

Of the three, the Bitfenix Prodifgy M has arguably the best airflow, but it's still nothing to write home about. The Antec P5 is silenced focused so airflow tends to suffer, and the Gamdias falls somewhere in the middle. If they're all around the same price, I'd probably opt for the Bitfenix, as it has the best build quality as well.
