Awesome CaseStrengths: Very quite, sturdy, great ventilation Weakness: Heavy (around 40lbs), need to select the right length power supply cord to attach to motherboard, poor "graphics card cooler". This case is a great! It comes with 3 120mm fans with 3-speed control that runs very quitely. It has dual chambers, one for the power supply and another for the rest of the parts. One tricky thing is that you need a power supply cord long enough to reach the ATX insertion on the motherboard. I chose to go with a modular power supply to go around this problem. It has plenty of room for expansion...

Good Case but requires great careStrengths: Quiet, Well Ventilated, Lots of drive bays, attention to detail, dust maintenance easy Weakness: bottom fan a little too close to drive bays, some flimsy parts, some finishing details Needs a lot of attention to detail to get the best out of it, but highly worth it once you are done. I previously had an older noisier Lian Li Alu case with 80mm fans housing an Athlon XP, and the noise was really starting to get to me. Since the reviews were quite positive, I ordered a P180 through pricegrabber. I'm very familiar with the P160 (over 20 systems) and the Aria (2 builds) line of...

Best out there, but still not perfectStrengths: Extremely quiet Well designed, excellent build quality Understated style Weakness: Cramped Rear air intake not filtered (see below) Difficult to install new PCI cards The Antec P180 is an excellent case, but, sadly, it is still not perfect. It is, as claimed, extremely quiet, even in a high-end overclocked system with many fans and noisy video cards. Build quality, like all of Antec's high-end cases, is top-notch. The outside aluminum panels are well finished. Note that the black trim on the case is plastic, not aluminum or steel - this is because Antec uses...

Antec P180 ReviewStrengths: Real Quiet; Sleek Design; Sturdy construction; Convenient pull-out cages Weakness: Install is not as easy as other cases; power-supply compartment small; no internal firewire connector; power-on button inside door; expensive! I've been using this case for a little over a week, and thus far I am quite impressed. Once you get the fans working okay, this thing is real quiet! And I mean that!! If you don't use cds much, its even that much more quiet as you can keep the front panel closed all the time. This thing has a ton of room for all your drives, though only one 3-1/2" front slot. There are four 5-1/4" front slots....

Antec P180 EvaluationStrengths: Airflow design; attention to aesthetics and acoustics; air filters are re-usable and easy to remove and clean; nice aluminum finish; four 5.25" external bays; fans extremely quiet at low speed Weakness: minimum power supply and hdd cable lengths; PCI cards in a squeeze by power supply cable routing, VGA cooling port ineffective, flimsy front panel, locked panel is useless I'm sure you've already heard of all the good points of the case, so I'll cut straight to the gripes. First and foremost is cable management. Since the power supply is in a separate lower compartment, Antec allows the cables to be snaked through a door between the bottom and upper compartments. This door, however, has the cables coming out where a PCI card should be. This means that the last one...

Great case, even greater value!Strengths: Cooling design, acoustics, sleek exterior, ample room inside Weakness: No front LCD display, need long PSU cables I had heard about this case from Silent PC, and decided to give it a try. At $120 plus shipping, it was an absolute steal. The cooling design is quite unique: the PSU is mounted at the bottom, so that heat from the CPU and motherboard is not a factor. There are three standard 120mm fans - one in the back, one in the front, and one in the PSU compartment. The case has 3 layers of material, which...

Great CaseStrengths: Heavy duty. Pull out hard drive cages. Very easy layout to work with. Fans silent at low speed. Weakness: Heavy. Front door feels somewhat flimsy. Tall for a mid-size ATX case. Fans fairly noisy at high speed. This case weighs about 35 pounds by itself. When you knock on the side panel, It sounds differant then any case I have ever had. Very solid construction. The front door panel is the one exception. It does feel somewhat flimsy. No sharp edges that I have noticed yet. It is a tank. (Not a case to be lugging around to LAN parties) The lower compartment layout was a little short for my power supply....

Antec p180Strengths: Appearance, Cooling, quiet Weakness: weight, front door, some PSU cables may not be long enough. I love this case. The trend today seems to be cases with lots of "extras", but i just don't care for neon fans, UV lights or plastic faces on the front of my case. This case has an elegance to it. The simple silver and black makes this case look professional and clean. The case came with three 120mm fans(one front, back, and a top blowhole) that are fairly quiet. The side panals are layered with...

Great Case for a Great Price, Period.Strengths: Design (very attractive), durable and well crafted, easy access to components, lots of room for expansion, & excellent intake/exhaust/airflow! Weakness: Graphics card exhaust isn't very useful (but can be modified like I have to work well), NOT for un-experienced system builders, the two 120mm exhaust fans could use a filter. I decided to put together a gaming system and decided to pick up this case, initially because it looks very attractive. The ventilation system is the most impressive feature of this case, it comes with 3 120mm fans to keep things cool. There is room for at least 8 hdds if you ever need the space and 4 DVD/CD rom drives. The power supply isn't included but it does have a unique location, at the...

Antec P180: The Whole Nine Yards
The P180 is not a beginner's case. In the right hands, it has the potential to outdo almost any other case on the market in terms of noise and thermals, but some knowledge of thermodynamics and acoustics is necessary to get the most out of it. A beginner may be luckier with the P180 than another case because the choice of hard drive and power supply are less crucial, but the cable installation... TopAdvertisement

Worth Your Money
Strengths: Quiet, Artistic, Sturdy, Front Panel button/port placement is ingenious. Door swings 270° for wicked cooling opportunities. Comes with fan filters and three fans.
Weakness: *Drive bay installation; door and panels feel flimsy when removed.
*After seating the rails on the sides of my CD/DVD drives, the drives were hard to push into the 5.25" bays, and afterwards tok some lovetaps to stay put. Other than that and the somewhat flimsy panels, this case is still worth your money. Great airflow, great for overclockers (the reason I bought it), great for audiophiles who want absolute silence, and great for those of you who want their LAN...
