Saw this over at P-PCS today, not a huge fan of the cases but I figured people might like to know :D

I might have to pick one of them up and build a file server or something.. I need to do a new build soon anyway.

what's the UFO thing on the side of the top case?

This maybe? : 1 side (standard) 200mm fan for dual graphics cards

Ugh, I hate when they put the PSU on the bottom and still use standard ATX motherboard form factor.

PSU on the bottom is really best for reverse-atx format.

the P193 is the perfection of P180 family :D, I'd buy it, but is hard to get this rides here.

The P180 is my favorite PC case, P182 was ok, not sure about the rest... still want it though!

I hate how they drive bays look (after you open the front door). And $179/209.. they seem like they're priced out of their class. For that much, i would rather buy a silverstone/ Lian Li.

Yeah, the inside drive bays do look kind of odd... Oh well, i still love the case. They are a bit pricy too :(

One of my problems with this case is that for the price you pay, there is a considerable amount of plastic all over it. Sure it's ABS but I really don't want it if I'm paying $200 after shipping and tax.

I hate the Antec cases. In fact, I can't think of an Antec case that I have ever liked.

Best antec case ever indeed! But still a shitty case by today's standards, and even then. I really never understood why they were so popular. Aside from the super lightweight and the 120mm intake and exhaust fans (which were ahead of their time), they were a nightmare to try to wire manage in and were noisy.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I agree on all points, but especially the "ahead of its time" part - it was really SO far ahead of its time as a case, its quite astonishing - I am thinking of doing a mod with mine, sort of a "for kicks" mod just to honor the ancient son-of-a-gun :D
