First look of Antecs upcoming P180 case

Post by DocSilly »

Antec showed their upcoming cases during (but not on) CES in Las Vegas including the Sonata II and the new P180.
The P180 looks very interesting, it has a minimalistic approach on the outside and all 120mm fancooling in the inside plus a seperate PSU tunnel on the bottom. The main target is to create a very quiet yet powerful aircooled case.
You can find first pics of the current pre-production unit here (small details might change till production):

I really dig the minimalistic look ... it almost looks like a mini fridge ;) I also like the cooling potential and the outlook that it should be quiet right out of the box. I looked into the Silverstone TJ06 for my next PC but now I will wait for a review on this new case from SPCR.

My last case was an Antec with a 120mm fan on the back, and a quiet True power PSU. Quietest PC I've ever owned.
