The Antares M300 is based on a high-end Asus microATX motherboard, the P5Q-EM. With support for up to 16GB of DDR2 memory and ample cooling for a high end graphics card and CPU, the M300 also runs very quiet. Despite the smaller profile the stylish Antec Chassis is still able to support 6 Hard drives and 3 optical drives. It features basic noise dampened panels and dust filters. The total package makes this a very desirable yet very affordable PC. To top it all off the processor is liquid cooled with the multi award winning Domino ALC, allowing for easy, reliable and quiet overclocking !
