The P-193 looks quite cool. Very industrial. Wonder what it would look like with a bit of a side window.

What is that tumor/growth thing on the side of the new P183 for ? What the :banana::banana::banana::banana: were they thinking ?
Must be an option like the rear bumper toilet seat like the old Ford/Lincolns had back in the day.

Hehe no not really:D
The P182 Special Edition was quite good looking,the P182 black was also nice but what's more important is that they are good quality and very functional for cable management and acoustics out of the box compared to others in the same price range.
LOL did i get it right? - if i did - well then, still one big improvement LOL from Antec -
they are now selling their "Top" Performance1 series model ( P193 )
without their stupid ''double power supply'' implementation
also with this '' as ya name it - rear bumper toilet seat :up: '' lol
may i say this also an improvement tho ? they now try to fix
the major problem (what was with elder P190 where side fan
doesn't allow install any high end tower coolers with height ~140-~160 mm (True, Noctua, etc) .. they just made it cheap way,
with out widening the case itself ..
oh no LOL and this (upper) rear "spoiler" is gone !
------
sorry for being sarcastic :)
Antec should have thought about better ventilation in general meaning ..

ok i understand - (i have P182 still in use) and learned myself (in hard way:) ) that ''silence'' and ''good airflow'' will not fit into the same boat!
Personally I think Antec cases use too much plastic, it just looks cheap and nasty when they're actually quite expensive.

every company lately has started building ugly cases... and they've just gotten uglier...
it is a matter of taste... but when is taste just plain wrong?

I think its a$$ ugly as well, but in antec's defense, functionally its quieter than a straight mesh hole which was always the selling point of the p180 series.

QFT. I'd say the P183 is a piece of beauty compared to the HAF.

I hate my antec p180b and I hate these too!
What appears to be good implimentation of cooling areas in a case just limits the end user more so than helps.
At least the antec 300 is decent for the price.
