Antec P180b ATX Case

Specification

Published: 13th June 2006 | Source: Antec | Price: | Author: Matt Kemp

The P180 is truly a revolutionary breakthrough in case design. Dual chambers isolate the power supply and CPU into separate cooling zones with up to 5 configurable fans. Three-layer sound-deadening panels dampen noise even in very high-performance systems. Ease-of-use, sleek design and Antec's reputation for quality make the P180 worthy of being the first in a new category we call the Advanced Super Mid Tower.

* Unique upper and lower chamber structure The power supply resides in a separate chamber to isolate heat from the system and lower system noise

* Innovative three-layer side panels and front door (aluminum, plastic, aluminum) dampen system noise, making this one of the quietest cases available

* Cooling System:
- 1 rear (standard) 120mm TriCool^TM Fan with 3-speed switch control
- 1 top (standard) 120mm TriCool^TM Fan
- 1 lower chamber (standard) 120mm TriCool^TM Fan
- 1 front (optional) 120mm fan
- 1 middle (optional) 120mm fan to cool graphics cards
- Upper drive cage can be used as a duct to provide fresh air to graphics cards
* Maximum expandability with 11 Drive Bays
- External 4 x 5.25"; 1 x 3.5"
- Internal 6 x 3.5" for HDD

* Motherboard: Fits micro and standard ATX

* Double hinge front door designed to open up to 270º

* Front Ports
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x IEEE 1394 (FireWire®, i.Link®)
- Audio In and Out

* Material: 0.8mm cold rolled steel for durability through the majority of chassis, 1.0mm cold rolled steel around the 4x HDD area

* To optimize performance of your P180 the choice of your power supply is crucial. Antec strongly recommends choosing from our Phantom, NeoHE or TruePower series

* Silicone grommets in the hard drive cages absorb vibrations and reduce noise

* Built in washable air-filter

can only agree on what the review said, antec makes good cases.

have an antec sonata which also is very wellbuilt case.

the downside with 0.8mm steel is you get a heavy case but possible weapon agaisnt a possible burglar
