Very nice case and comes with 2 PSU Neo-Link 1200 Watt dual power supply system. :) http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=21710

Introducing the P190, a case that stands apart from all others. Bigger and better than the rest, the P190 has room to handle even the biggest hardware; Extended ATX, multiple graphics cards, dual CPU’s, and liquid-cooling are all no problem for the P190. Powering all your hardware in this case is the unique Neo-Link dual power supply system. A dual setup of two individual power supplies linked together to give you a total of 1200 Watts of power. There are dual top mounted 140mm exhaust fans, a rear 120mm fan and a 200mm "Big Boy" fan mounted in the side door; all 3-speed TriCool fans and ideal for cooling even the hottest new technology. You won’t have to worry about the noise coming from your hardware either, as the P190 is built with Quiet Computing in mind, featuring silicone grommets for the hard drive mounts and special dual layer sound deadening side panels. All these features and more make the P190 the most advanced performance case yet.

Features:


Dual chambers structure. The power supplies reside in a separate chamber to isolate heat from the system and lower system noise
Dual-layer sound-deadening panels for Quiet Computing
Flexible snake light (installed), lights your way while working inside the case
Cable organizer behind motherboard tray minimizes cable clutter
Fits up to Extended ATX (12" x 13") motherboards to fit your dual processor board, or any other board you could possibly have
Rubber grommeted ports on the rear for liquid-cooling tubes allow you to easily mount external liquid-cooling hardware
Neo-Link 1200 Watt dual power supply system:
One 650 Watt Neo Power is responsible for powering the motherboard and add-in cards, while another 550 Watt, handles your drives and other peripherals
Advanced cooling system - Even larger fans than previous designs, move more air and turn slower for even quieter operation
- 2 top 140mm TriCool fan (standard)
- 1 rear 120mm TriCool Fan (standard)
- 1 lower chamber 120mm TriCool Fan (standard)
- 1 side 200mm Big Boy fan with air filter (standard)

External fan control on the rear panel (for the 2 top fans and 1 rear fan in the upper chamber)
Front-mounted ports provide convenient connections
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x IEEE 1394 (FireWire®, i.Link®)
- Audio In/Out (AC’97 & HDA)

Net weight: 43.2lbs / 19.6kg
Gross weight: 51.1lbs / 23.2kg

Is their an option without the 1200W PSU ?

It would be nice if they sold it without the two PSU's, but with a device helping you turn both PSU's at the same time.

Far more interesting if sold without those PSUs..

As soon as they have a non-PSU version and a bit cheaper, it's mine.

Looks like a very interesting case. Antec are really thinking outside the box with the snake light, and holes for water cooling etc..exactly what we want to see.

The only thing putting me off these Antec cases (P180, P190 etc) is the front bay door. Many of us have front audio drive bays (X-Fi Platinum and similar) that we can't access unless we leave the door open. If they somehow kept the sound deadening advantages without the door I'd be sold.

They just need to enlarge their latest cases.
I've told them so many many times...if only they could make them a little bit bigger :(

They dont need a seperate psu for drives and pheriphs.. Cmon, a hd doesnt use more than 6-10 watts per drive and an optical is a hell of a lot less. has anyone seen how the 2 PSU's are triggered to powerup together?

I guess the wires a simply put together to connect all periph on either one or other PSU... :p: There's no technical thing here, just 2 PSU's sticked together to put more juice in the case :down:

It would be nice if one didn't have to find a PSU with long enough 24-pin and 4/8-pin cables. And when you find them that are long enough, they have to be dragged diagonally across the board. I guess I care too much about internal cable routing to be an Antec fan.

I'm sure you can buy it without PSUs. I bought my P180 a couple of years ago for $130 with $30 MIR from Fry's without a PSU.

Isnt there supposed to be more room behind the mobo tray for better cable routing, similar to the P180>182 revision? Besides, stretching a 24pin cable across the mobo is the least of my worrys in a case that dont have a window :rofl:

If only the PSU tray was larger so we could stash a compressor down there.. who will be the first person to try and build a singlestage inside of that case? Probably needs a good 3-4 inches more vertically and it'd be perfect.

Yes... BUT that requires EVEN LONGER cables.

Hey... don't get me wrong. I know case opinions are VERY subjective. It's just my opinion that they half assed something that had a lot of potential. If you can find a PSU with 24" (600mm) long cables then you can probably do some clean cable routing.

Ah they finally released it. One big monster, I'd buy it but I'm cutting up my P180 for my water cooling setup currently oh well.

I don't like it. where are you supposed to put the rad? Power supplies in the bottom, and mobo goes all the way to the top. I'd have to mod mine to remove a PSU and mount it horizontally (like normal) and move it to the top of the PSU section and put the rad at the very bottom. Mucho props for making it E-ATX. My dual opterons take up quite a bit of room. Mucho props for the dual chamber side panels.

Very nice, with some great concepts, just not quite for me.

True. Where I dont mind having to extend the PSU cables to route them behind I can understand why others would rather have a case that dont require that.

I wonder if its possible to flip the motherboard tray for inverted ATX similar to how the windowless TJ07's are able to do it.




As for radiator mounting I would more than likely mount it on back similar to how the swiftech radbox mounts up, sep with some fabricated brackets that dont take up as much space and allow for some more flexible positioning of the radiator to clear cables and take up as little space as possible givin my limited space under my desk. I think that by removing one of the PSU, as well as the lower enclosure that a 120.3 will fit pretty easy, when a modification to the side panel for the fans similar to the TJ07.



Overall Ive been looking forward to this case since I first seen it, since the
P180 is a bit too small for my tastes and the TJ07 is out of my price range.

What is the deal with pricing at the Antec store? They want $499 for this case! That's crack talk. $350+ is stupid crazy, but that price is beyond ridiculous.

That's crazy! I can make my own case for that price! WTH! That thing is worth $180 at most. :mad:

I wonder if those 2 1200w pws are pos?
CBONE
05-18-2007, 08:18 PM
Combined 1200W, not two 1200W. 550W + 650W = 1200W
