I feel like they're not as awesome as some of the new low-price competitors. Don't get me wrong, I love my Antec Lanboy case, but that's from 7 years ago!
I've built several systems for myself and others, but I've never got to see if the Antec PXXX series cases were all they were cracked up to be. Would love to play around with one of these!
They're pretty sweet. I've got an old 180 that I like, but aggravates me every time I open it. The drive bays changed from those silly cage things to that side-view slot load are the best part, and the button not being behind the door is delicious icing on a delicious cake.
I'm getting tired of my Nine Hundred, and I've been considering replacing it with a case that's quieter, easier to work with, and has better cable routing features. This case looks like it fits the bill perfectly!
I'm at the other side of the planet so I can't be part of the contest, and customs would probably charge me something like 300 bucks to get it out... but it looks great. Good luck!
I have been waiting for this case since I first saw it from the Computex screenshots. I have mulled over buying a P183 for a while now, but didn't want to pull the trigger due to it's dated build techniques.
I currently own an Antec 900 and it is loud. Not obnoxiously so. But easily north of 55dB, close to 65dB under load. As this is in the room where I sleep, I have been waiting on bated breath for the P280 to hit the stores, and after reading this review, I think I have to have one.
Whether I win one or not, I'm still going to buy it and save my ears from my current Antec 900.
Was just reading this review this morning and was thinking to myself - man that's a sweet case! Would love to have a case like this one, considering I'm still using a 10 yr old Antec from my first build - goes to show how tough these Antec cases are.
Could use a new case, my old Centurion 5 is starting to show its age; and I need to upgrade to a bigger case anyway. So, toss this delicious hunk of manufacturing my way?
This looks like a pretty freaking awesome case. I recently started a 'build-a-new' pc fund for some newer games I'd like to play. This would definitely help out. Thanks AnandTech!
Hi, I'd like to win this and then...give it away. Currently in the process of building a sweet PC for a family member and this would no doubt wow them.
I've been pretty excited over the new sandybrige chips and planning on replacing an old Opteron OC'd to 3.Ghz that has been feeling very tired the last year or two. If memory serves me this would be twice as expensive as the nicest case I've ever owned so I would very much appreciate one.
Still using the original P180 (broken door hinge and all). In spite of the broken hinge, it's been a great case. However, the P280 looks like an awesome upgrade.
I plan on building a system in Q1 of 2012 once Ivy Bridge and the 28nm GPUs are released. Getting a case for free would definitely cut the cost a little. :D
Used to build many antec based systems when I used to work at a PC botique but havent got any in hand for a while.. would love to try out their new cases to see how much they have improved. Thank you if you send me one!
This case has a lot to offer with cable management holes and tie scraps for back plate. A case that offers nice cable management and low sound. I'm very impressed with this case lay out which is hard to do for a person owning a HAF 932 but I have been won over with this design for any future built pc's.
Someone who cannot have the time for anything but reviewing cases, judging by how many case reviews he gets out there. That they're the best around does not go unappreciated (by me at least). I don't think most people understand how awful most case reviews are (much less every other component I see out in the wild). Cut and paste does not make for a good review, and most people don't try to give even passing interest to properly writing about cases and so many other components too. Mainly, its about enthusiasm... Which must be difficult to summon on a case by case basis (a case pun, back at you).
I have used my current Antec Sonata III 500 for 3 years and it is great. While I still want to upgrade it if I am lucky enough considering the front panel issue in my old case. Thank you Anand for providng such an opportunity! ~
I've got a P180 and, while I like it, the P280 would be a nice upgrade in a number of ways. The drive trays that face out the side of the case instead of towards the back would be worth it all by themselves -- I haaaaaaate the rear-facing drive trays in the P180.
No really, I am using my ramen noodles box for a case and it is hard to get my shared compute number up when the ramen packs are clogging the exhaust fan.
I'm still loving my 4 year old P180B that houses my current rig. And after reading the P280 review, it tickles me in all the right ways. And let's be honest, you gotta love the styling of the Performance One series: simple, elegant, refined, classy, without all the gaudy excess of LEDs lighting up a room like the deck of an aircraft carrier. Really hoping i win one of these!
I used to think you had to be flashy from a case perspective to really stand out from the crowd. It seems nowadays the opposite is true. This case and many other Antecs have that simple look that while plain still draws attention. There's something to be said for that simple elegance, definitively will look at this one for my next build.
Would love to have one! I'm building a new rig this year (getting my parts during BF sales) but if I could snag one of these, I could use the extra money for better parts!
One thing missing from the review is the acoustic performance with many (>= 4) hard drives inside. Some cases perform well when there is only one or two drives, but vibrates like crazy when there's a lot more.
Here I was a few hours ago coming away impressed with this case, and then I get back from work to find out that two are being given away! Here's hoping!
I'm a huge fan of antec, I own the Solo, and would love a Solo II, these new P280's would fit the bill just as nicely. I think Antec really does a great job of taking feedback from users and putting them into motion - so to speak. Great job guys, keep up the good work.
Seriously, I've reused it through the last two rebuilds. The top filter cover hinge broke and the bottom one's spring release doesn't work anymore. So sad.
I have kept my brilliant P182SE case as long as I can. Three months ago, one of the USB connectors fell out. Last week, the second front connector fell out. One of the grommets detached itself recently too. It is a glorious case, be certain...but it is showing its age and I need a strong, reliable replacement.
Looks like the perfect upgrade for my aging P180. The only things I would like to see would be a cover for the top fan grille to give air flow options and hot plug SATA bays for the 3.5" drives.
I could definitely put this awesome case to good use! My current case is starting to look a bit long in the tooth. It doesn't have cable routing, dust trays, tool-less drive bays, USB 3.0 or any of the wonderful things this baby has.
Most cases have only 7, even the good old Antec Twelvehundred (that's why I sold it to a coworker recently). Eight are needed for four dual-slot graphics cards, but it's good that there is some space between the power supply and the bottom graphics card.
Other than their lanboy air, the majority of antec case releases have been simple rehash or updates of previous designs. This is the first case in quite some time that actually appears to be a new design, and it certainly is looking good.
It would be cool to win this case after taking time to read the review of it. While reading the review I was thinking how I might want one of these but the possibility of winning one hadn't occurred to me. But now that I'm entering the contest it would be nice to win, at least ONCE this year....*fingers crossed*
Looks amazing. Doing a new build, and this would be awesome. Was trying to decide between the P183V3, FT02, or a Lian Li case. A free case would win in this case, especially with it being this new Antec... Looks like it may need to be positive pressurized to get the full benefit out of it though, based on the review.
I swear to god I am currently building my own system (all I have is a 6 year old laptop) and I read the full review this morning on the case. I do not have the budget for this one, so if I can get one for free...yoohooo!
I have used Antec cases for all my builds, and am a big fan of the Performance One series. Would love to move my current gaming pc out of my P183 and into a P280.
I've had a P180B before. It was rather troublesome. This looks to fix all the issues I had with the P180B. I like it. Sure looks better than my Coolermaster HAF932.
I have been checking google shopping and newegg several times a day for the past 2 months for this case.... it's slowly been showing up for pre-order on sketchy sites.
I recently got permission to put some money into a new PC build, but had to cut out a new case to pay for my i5-2500k. :( My old case is noisy and held together with duct tape (really!). Loved the review of the case, it sounds like just what I need.
I bought my P180 over 6 years ago for my first system. It's the only thing I've never changed out. It's quite beaten, but not defeated. I'll have to give the P280 a good look when I can afford it.
I used to own the P180 and loved how quiet it was. But because I change internal components so often to have the fastest computer, I found the dual chamber design before difficult to use. This new case looks like everything I wanted out of the P180. I sure wish I could win this case.
This case looks like just the ticket to replace my Antec Sonata I for my z68 build. Lots of room, decent cooling, good cable routing, and Antec quality.
Hey Anandtech. Great giveaway. If I don't win one I'll likely buy one to setup a great NAS server. Was going to buy something from Promise, but this would be sweet. Hope I win. Thanks!
Yes, Dang, I need a new small coffee table for the corner of my living room! I could maybe put all kinds of flowers inside. Easy access for hosing to water my plants! *does hyper dance and clap*
I have an old P182 that has seen better times. Especially with the 240mm radiator mod. I would like to replace it with a P280 but my wallet has also seen better times.
Picking a case has always been the hard part for me in building a new PC. I'm not a fanboy by any means, although I currently have the P182 and the original old school Lanboy. Going from the Lanboy to the P182 was a dramatic change and made me love quiet PC cases. My only gripe about the P182 was the lack of room. Removing the internal HDD bay to fit my 9800gtx was disheartening but a necessary evil.
I was planning on going with with the Silverstone FT02 or RV02-E but now that this case is out, its no contest. Looking forward to building my Sandy-E bridge in this case!
Mid-plane fans... hmm... that could let you load it up with harddisks, run front and mid-plane low-flow fans, and still get decent cooling with enough airflow to keep a hotter (but not too crazy) GPU/CPU setup cool.
I have always loved the quality in which Antec builds into their cases, you can see it from every corner of the product. On top of that great build quality you can now get a very quiet experience. Would love to make my room that much more appealing and quiet with this sitting in the corner.
Would love this case. Cable management looks like it would a lot easier that my current antec 900. Plus access to the hard drives looks a lot easier then the cage design used on the 900.
I've got a P180 that I've modified to include a number of the improvements in this case but it would be nice to have a new case that wasn't all scratched up.
Having just re-assembled my system in the P182 with a new PSU and SSD, I realize I had forgotten how much of a pain it was to work with, despite it being an awesome case nonetheless. A P280 would certainly be nice for an upcoming Ivy Bridge build, though!
I'd love one of these to compare to my old case a "Super Case" or some BS. Love Antec cases, they're pretty much my go-to recommendation for people looking to build a new rig.
I bought the original p180 case when it came out. It's held up really well except for the hinge on the door. As much as I love the case I think it's time for a replacement. The P280 will be perfect.
I read all anandtech reviews, and while this isn't definitively my favorite case. It is in my top 3 for cases I want to use in my next build. So, a free one would of course be excellent!
This is just what I'm looking for to put all of the stuff in my 'wish list' in when I bite the bullet and order it. Having a case this nice on its way would eliminate most of my hesitation, since I'm having a hard time finding the right case at the right price...
I'm graduating this December in computer engineering and just accepted a job offer, which means I won't be poor anymore and can build a new rig! Getting an unreleased, FREE chassis from my favorite case manufacturer would definitely start the project off right.
Read the whole review as requested. I'm glad to see Antec stepping up the plate and daring to make some major changes, even if it's not exactly what I'd buy. Good job Antec.
I'm still using my P180 that I've had for years and have been shopping around for a new case. This would be a great replacement for my old dinosaur, especially in the "roomier and easier to work with" category. You know you want to pick me as a gracious recipient!
I've got a P180 and a P160 (anybody remember that one) sitting under my desk right now... I've always built with Antec cases and up until very recently, with Antec power supplies. My last two PSU purchases were Corsair - only because of the single rail - if Antec made a single rail, modular PSU I'd be all over it!
Antec should consider including an insert to cover one of/both the top 120 mm spaces. This will help with reducing noise, while leaving open the radiator option.
It seems like Antec always seems to put thought into their cases. Some are good, some aren't great, but overall, a good quality case...Put me down for one.
It's about time for a new build for me, and my trusty old Antec SX1040BII to be retired into home server duty. This looks like a quality replacement that may last me just as long as the SX has (which I bought in 2003).
The first computer (a 486DX system) I purchased was built in an Antec case, which led to me buying a second similar case for my next system. Since then, I've continued to make frequent use of Antec cases for systems that I build. I would be happy to have this new P280 model to play with, as well, since I haven't really checked out Antec's higher end cases, lately.
I was also looking at the Corsair cases as of late, I couldn't find anything else I liked other than the same case. I have an original P180 without cable management and have been dying with the cables lately, plus I wanted a bigger case for more hard drives since I'm maxed. I was considering a P183 but couldn't justify the price to upgrade to an identical looking case. My case is still perfect and I am having trouble justifying the purchase, so I better win one instead!
I like the way SSD bay is positioned towards the top rather than on the bottom as in what I have now. This case would be nice for the new i7-2600k I want to get. Peace.
This looks like a solid all-around case. I'm comparing it to the Corsair Carbide 400R, Fractal Design Arc Midi, and Fractal Design Define R3, and it looks decent.
My primary computer is almost ten years old right now (Opteron 300!) and putting together a new build now. The original was in a P180, just after its initial release. Would only be fitting for this one to be in a P280.
I have been following your great reviews and contests for years and years and have noticed that some contests due to the size of the prize, you had to restrict to US only, but smaller prize's, i guess can be made as Worldwide contests so that global readers can have a chance to win as well.
Well, if I won this case I might just have to get off my lazy rear-end and finally get around to building that new system I've been pondering for a while now. Thanks!
Give me it now SH$#... F$%K!!! ... ...Okay... sorry.. my tourettes acting up... let me try that again... Please, I would like to enter the contest as well.... . .. . ..FU $ % S@ %$ BI%... BALLS BALLS BIG HAIRY BALLS>>>> AHHAHAAHHHHH ..... I'm good now.... ^^
Looks like this would be a huge improvement over my original P180. I just installed an SSD in mine... nightmare. I ended up having to use a horrible series of adaptors to mount it to a 5.25" drive bay, because none of the screw holes lined up between any of my 3.5" adaptors and the P180s 3.5" trays or lower drive cage.
For the past few years, I've been suffering with these mini cases like the Antec NSK-1380. Frankly, I'm done with them and would really love to have a case that has room, airflow and a subdued look (i.e. no led fans, neon lights, side windows, etc.).
An I was just thinking after reading the review, that it was time to get a new Antec case for my next build since I have enjoyed the one that I have currently.
I did a build 2 or 3 years ago with a coolermaster case....its not bad, but I wish I had spent a few more bucks on something with some better features. Especially something having the drive bays turned to the outside of the case instead of point at the motherboard :-/
This is the first case I've seen in five years that has made me want to replace my old Antec P150. I can't afford any computer frivolity right now, though, so I'd love a free one.
....to build a computer again. I was once a avid customer PC builder and have since become busy with life. As my presence here indicates I still have that spark. Now I need an excuse to justify the rest of the build. I would love this case as the reason and the start of my first build in years!
I read Dustin's review yesterday and am sooo excited about this case! It looks great. I have been an Antec fan for years but lately their designs have disappointed me. Not with this case, I think they made great design choices and I really hope these filter down to the lower tier cases in the coming months/years.
Thanks for the great reviews and the giveaways are always fun :)
This is almost perfect. I would have appreciated a large 220mm fan in the side panel to keep my dual video cards nice and cool, but over all a great looking classic case I would love to own. My Thermaltake is perfect either.
I was originally waiting for bulldozer to build a new desktop as my aging C2D doesn't really cut it anymore for gaming. I plan to wait for Ivy Bridge to build a new computer but need a good tower that's quiet to build it with. Would love to have the P280 for my build.
I just read the article yesterday and was thinking I need to get something nicer for my whs since i'm in it more than my desktops upgrading drives and such.
I would really love this case! I've been wanting a good case with the hard drives mounted sideways for a while now. I love the two USB3s on the front panel too!
I would love to have this case. I own a P180 and I've suffered through the difficulty of managing its innards. But the case has been good to me and has kept my computer running. I would love to give the P280 the same care and thought I gave the P180.
How come the cases market is relatively lively? ATX hasn't changed in years. While there's some progress in ergonomics, If you have a decent case there's no pressing reason to change it even after 5-10 years.
My old Koolance case is starting to get that "not so fresh" feeling. I would love a modern, full-size case that I can migrate my system into (and probably make a few updates on the way)
Currently using an antec 900 case, but I got to say I prefer the more subdued case w/o all the LED fans and no see-through case side. Being more soundproofed is also a plus (my PS fan is starting to get noisy) and this one lets me orient the PSU properly.
I've been looking for a good case to replace my Antec 300, and the P180 is one that I've been considering. This is one that I definitely wouldn't mind having!
I've been excited about this case since I saw the Antec facebook post yesterday. I have a P180 right now and have loved the case - I wouldn't mind getting a P280 to try and new system and see how they compare.
Thanks for the thorough review. I wish more cases used features such as those shown here. I don't think I'm crazy about the door (personal preference) and the size is larger than I need, but at least it's not too small!
I need a nice case for my new build, and I would love one of these.
If I win, I just need to hide it from myself until the wife lets me buy the rest of my components. If I had to look at the case everyday I don't think I could resist ordering the parts and getting in trouble.
Im so glad to see Antec making a more elegant case thats bigger rather than smaller. Mobos are getting bigger and more populated, air sinks are too, psu's are longer, ram is taller etc... and everyone wants to squeeze this stuff into smaller boxes...it just dont work. These are desktops, so going bigger isnt going to hurt anything. If i wanted a case to drag all over h--l's half acre than i would get a big desktop with a removeable tray, custom build a lanbox to fit it and go from there.I saw some others complaining about dual chambers, like on a P182, and i agree with them, but if it was implemented in bigger cases than it would work to our advantage, instead of being a pita! So the moral of the story manufacturers....build bigger cases already!! Antec has the right idea here...super mid-tower with a elegant look and NO plastic armor. Thats another trend that needs to die.Oh, and yes, id love to win one too!!
I'd probably use this as a replacement for an HTPC Silverstone case I have. Taking up horizontal real estate just isn't working out. It's time to go vertical, baby.
The P280 looks like a great case. Would love to use this to replace my Antec Three Hundred case being used for a WHS machine (too noisy) and compare it to my main PC in an Antec P182 case. I love Antec cases!
I'm planning a new build for between now and the end of the month and I was going to reuse the Antec Super LanBoy my current system is in to save some money. A new, larger case with better cooling options would be fantastic, and the possibility of not having to sacrifice anything to stay within budget would be awesome.
Seriously. I just put together a new PC and was foolish enough to select a case without cable management. RAIDMAX Platinum. It is seriously the worst case ever conceived by man, purposely built by Al Queda to frustrate and destroy an semblance of inner being.
I enter these contests regularly (for years) and never seem to catch one. Now would be a great time. I'm long overdue for a system build and this would be a great catalyst.
Looking to build again soon, but don't feel like crawling around inside my p182 again anytime soon if I don't have to. Been pumped since they announced this one.
I desperately need a new case, it was bought on Craigslist for $40. It's spray painted black, has electrical tape holding it together, and cut holes for ventilation. I bought it because my original mid-tower couldn't hold a Geforce GTX260 without pressing up against my hard drive cage.
I've been eyeing the P180 & P182 for a while on good looks, and Fractal's R3 recently. I didn't like the P183 looks, while it had better performance than P182. But the P280 looks and performs as I like. Still a toss up between P280 & R3, but wining this would really help me decide. Thanks!
This is exactly the type of case I'm looking for! So now I can actually hear my music or gaming sounds without hearing a bunch of fans buzzing in my ears.
This is a great looking case and a very generous giveaway by AnandTech.
Also, for anyone who happens to read this, there is a bill in Congress right now trying to be passed that will CENSOR THE INTERNET for Americans and American websites. Do what you can to help spread the word and protect the freedom that the internet provides us. You can go to Mozilla's homepage to find out more.
Thanks again AnandTech and congratulations to whomever wins this.
I've been a long time fan of Antec cases and have been using them exclusively for many years. I had started to wonder if I was going to see an Antec case I really liked again, as some of their recent designs weren't my favorite. My faith has been restored, and I love this case.
The only thing I don't like about the case, is the front door. Seriously, I don't understand why this case needs something like that. Its just another point of failure. (Though I'd still like a free one!) :)
My brother, sister, cousin and I have only ever owned Antec cases. This would be an awesome case. I've since started changing my setups to more silent enclosures and this would an awesome case to switch my latest build to. Thanks for running a promotion like this Antec!
"void where prohibited" Yea, I stopped reading there. I wish I could CTRL-F "important stuff" or "relevant stuff" Maybe I should call my lawyer. Is this case worth the consulting fee?
Legalize, can't live without it, but can't really live with it either.
Antec has always been my choice for cases. After switching from the P180 case back to my aluminum P160 Antec case, the following features are enough to make me finally upgrade my case.
"The enclosure is bigger and easier to work in, and has more room for expanding the system inside. There's plenty of space for mounting a good, thick 240mm radiator at the top, cable routing is slightly better, and the two internal fan mounts invite experimentation."
"Toolless locking mechanisms for the 5.25" drive bays are in place, as well as six drive trays that can support both 3.5" and 2.5" drives, with silicone grommets for the 3.5" drives to minimize vibration."
"A massive cutout in the tray to maximize compatibility with aftermarket cooling, and rubber-lined holes surround the tray for routing cables to the back."
Antec has always been my top choice for cases. After switching from the P180 case back to my aluminum P160 Antec case, it's time to finally upgrade my case.
It would be nice to replace my Antec Sonata Proto with this just so I don't have to open the front panel every time I want to hit the power button. :-P
While Antec cases are not the most stylish cases out there, they do have very consisitent quality. I would not mind building my next computer in one of their cases.
I can't tell what I hate more about my case... the heat pouring out of it or the fact that its sounds like its going to hit mock 5 at any minute. Save me !!!
very understated but classy. This is the type of case esthetics that MOST of us adult readers whom are your biggest customers actually want to purchase. Hope I win one!
I expect nothing less from Antec and I expect something free from AnandTech :) I've an eye to put that in my booth at church for the projection system.
I love Antec products -- from their cases, to their PSUs to their fans. I've built dozens of PCs with Antec hardware. Good stuff. This one looks great too -- it'd make a really nice server case.
I think the hds shouldn't be sideways. From here, it looks like that reduces airflow pushed by the intake fans. That may not matter much to the hds (cooling wise) but I'd rather have more intake airflow to cool a high end gpu. Also, downward facing psu wouldn't work to well on a rug.
I want to get this case for my next build. I have a Antec Mini P180 and have been so satisfied with it. Thanks for the giveaway guys, good luck everybody!
to win. I badly need a new case. My current case is from 2001. It does not have anything close to adequate cooling so I have to leave the side of the case off. It is ugly too. All beige.
I would love to have a P280, my current case is 9 years old and I am sick of being stuck with video cards under 9 inches in length due to interference issues.
Going to pull the trigger on a build at the end of this month--interested to see how everything would go building inside a higher-end case like this instead of the budgets I usually go with.
The P182 would make a wonderful replacement for my aging Thermaltake Tai-Chi. A bit tired of having this tank of a case, and I've already had to re-tap the threads for just about all the case screws two times over.
I'm majoring in networking and information technology. We are building computers in my current class. I'm going to be using the AMD FX-8150 Processor - Eight Core, 8MB L3 Cache, 8MB L2 Cache, 3.60GHz (4.20GHz Max Turbo), paired with the BIOSTAR TA990FXE AMD 9-Series Motherboard, this case would make an awesome addition to my build, and let me put more money on a graphics card or two.
I've been using a P182 for over four years now and I love their cases. This would be a welcome addition to my home. It would probably snowball into updating my entire system though, which would be expensive.
I'm going to go take a look at this case over the Thanksgiving holiday. I need another case like the Corsair 600T. I wonder if the debut of the P280 for ~$130 USD caused Corsair to drop the price of the 600T down to $120 USD AR at Newegg.
I'm eye components for a new rig. Everything I have is currently housed in a Lian Li V1100. While the case looks nice, it's pretty awful for cable management. I think the P280 would be a breath of fresh air in terms of ease-of-build.
It's a really nice case, but not quite enough to woo me away from the Corsair cases yet. Wouldn't mind seeing them side-by-side. My current case is feeling quite cramped -- CM690. With an upgrade planned for next year, I need to decide on something methinks. :)
I am using an original P180 and I just rewired it with a replacement PSU. The 280 looks like it would be a great improvement, especially for people with multiple video cards.
Dustin sounds a bit biases toward this case. He wants to like it but he just seems stuck on past...failures I guess for lack of a better word. From what I see they made some tremendous improvements and it offers a lot of possibilities as far as configuration goes.
I definitely enjoy the lack of the sound of a jet taking off in my apartment...the previous gen case does not disappoint when it comes to managing fan noise. Hopefully this one is the same.
If i won one of those i would be able to fit all of my harddrives (they are external USB drives for the moment) inside and maybe even an upgrade of CPU and MoBo! :)
I've been using the same giant dull beige tower with odd smudges and stains for years. It first housed a P3 800mhz with GeForce 2 MX 32mb graphics (back before the smudges and stains). It's been updated on the inside every couple of years though.
When my house was broken in to, the thieves never even thought to take it because ugly = old = worthless, no matter how new/expensive the insides really are.
That said, I could use a new case for an upcoming build.
Looks very well built especially with air flow in mind. I also like how you have many channels to route cables behind the motherboard tray. I would love to have something like this for my new computer build
Nice review of the Antec chassis. But I unfortunately did not notice the inclusion of a tool to pry a long video card out of my present case in order to make th switch!! Hope I win but would have to give away my old case with the card still wedged in it!

They're pretty sweet. I've got an old 180 that I like, but aggravates me every time I open it.

I have been waiting for this case since I first saw it from the Computex screenshots. I have mulled over buying a P183 for a while now, but didn't want to pull the trigger due to it's dated build techniques.I currently own an Antec 900 and it is loud. Not obnoxiously so. But easily north of 55dB, close to 65dB under load. As this is in the room where I sleep, I have been waiting on bated breath for the P280 to hit the stores, and after reading this review, I think I have to have one.
Whether I win one or not, I'm still going to buy it and save my ears from my current Antec 900.
Thanks guys!

Dustin Sklavos, Case -Reviewer of the Year!Someone who cannot have the time for anything but reviewing cases, judging by how many case reviews he gets out there. That they're the best around does not go unappreciated (by me at least). I don't think most people understand how awful most case reviews are (much less every other component I see out in the wild). Cut and paste does not make for a good review, and most people don't try to give even passing interest to properly writing about cases and so many other components too. Mainly, its about enthusiasm... Which must be difficult to summon on a case by case basis (a case pun, back at you).

I have used my current Antec Sonata III 500 for 3 years and it is great. While I still want to upgrade it if I am lucky enough considering the front panel issue in my old case. Thank you Anand for providng such an opportunity! ~Cisephys - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
I've got a P180 and, while I like it, the P280 would be a nice upgrade in a number of ways. The drive trays that face out the side of the case instead of towards the back would be worth it all by themselves -- I haaaaaaate the rear-facing drive trays in the P180.EDALBNUG - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link

I'm still loving my 4 year old P180B that houses my current rig. And after reading the P280 review, it tickles me in all the right ways. And let's be honest, you gotta love the styling of the Performance One series: simple, elegant, refined, classy, without all the gaudy excess of LEDs lighting up a room like the deck of an aircraft carrier. Really hoping i win one of these!lorez - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link

I used to think you had to be flashy from a case perspective to really stand out from the crowd. It seems nowadays the opposite is true. This case and many other Antecs have that simple look that while plain still draws attention. There's something to be said for that simple elegance, definitively will look at this one for my next build.victorjake - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
Would love to have one! I'm building a new rig this year (getting my parts during BF sales) but if I could snag one of these, I could use the extra money for better parts!actor_out_of_work - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link

I like the cases coming out recently.removable dust covers, PSU on the bottom, lots of room for GPUs, wiring solutions.
I think the dust issue was way under-rated for so long.
An air cooler looses so much of its ability over time... when gunked up with dust.

I have kept my brilliant P182SE case as long as I can. Three months ago, one of the USB connectors fell out. Last week, the second front connector fell out.

Most cases have only 7, even the good old Antec Twelvehundred (that's why I sold it to a coworker recently). Eight are needed for four dual-slot graphics cards, but it's good that there is some space between the power supply and the bottom graphics card.Khato - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
Other than their lanboy air, the majority of antec case releases have been simple rehash or updates of previous designs. This is the first case in quite some time that actually appears to be a new design, and it certainly is looking good.wallstreet1 - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link

I used to own the P180 and loved how quiet it was. But because I change internal components so often to have the fastest computer, I found the dual chamber design before difficult to use.

Picking a case has always been the hard part for me in building a new PC. I'm not a fanboy by any means, although I currently have the P182 and the original old school Lanboy. Going from the Lanboy to the P182 was a dramatic change and made me love quiet PC cases. My only gripe about the P182 was the lack of room. Removing the internal HDD bay to fit my 9800gtx was disheartening but a necessary evil.I was planning on going with with the Silverstone FT02 or RV02-E but now that this case is out, its no contest. Looking forward to building my Sandy-E bridge in this case!

I've been overall impressed w/Antec. I liked the P180 design, but chose to go with a silverstone case on one computer, and a coolermaster on another.loosing the chambers isn't such a big deal either.

The first computer (a 486DX system) I purchased was built in an Antec case, which led to me buying a second similar case for my next system. Since then, I've continued to make frequent use of Antec cases for systems that I build. I would be happy to have this new P280 model to play with, as well, since I haven't really checked out Antec's higher end cases, lately.mofop - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - link

I was also looking at the Corsair cases as of late, I couldn't find anything else I liked other than the same case. I have an original P180 without cable management and have been dying with the cables lately, plus I wanted a bigger case for more hard drives since I'm maxed. I was considering a P183 but couldn't justify the price to upgrade to an identical looking case. My case is still perfect and I am having trouble justifying the purchase, so I better win one instead!Lokán - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - link

My primary computer is almost ten years old right now (Opteron 300!) and putting together a new build now. The original was in a P180, just after its initial release. Would only be fitting for this one to be in a P280.trifecta88 - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - link

Hello Anandtech,I have been following your great reviews and contests for years and years and have noticed that some contests due to the size of the prize, you had to restrict to US only, but smaller prize's, i guess can be made as Worldwide contests so that global readers can have a chance to win as well.
Please think about it. :)

Looks like this would be a huge improvement over my original P180. I just installed an SSD in mine... nightmare. I ended up having to use a horrible series of adaptors to mount it to a 5.25" drive bay, because none of the screw holes lined up between any of my 3.5" adaptors and the P180s 3.5" trays or lower drive cage.Hassan726 - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - link

I read Dustin's review yesterday and am sooo excited about this case! It looks great. I have been an Antec fan for years but lately their designs have disappointed me. Not with this case, I think they made great design choices and I really hope these filter down to the lower tier cases in the coming months/years.Thanks for the great reviews and the giveaways are always fun :)

I would like a P280.The review was solid. As much as I don't like the "Larger" cases, I think this could work out OK for me.
I've been considering upgrading my Lian-Li LanColl PC7 for a Fractal case, but this would work just as well. :)

Currently using an antec 900 case, but I got to say I prefer the more subdued case w/o all the LED fans and no see-through case side.

Im so glad to see Antec making a more elegant case thats bigger rather than smaller. Mobos are getting bigger and more populated, air sinks are too, psu's are longer, ram is taller etc... and everyone wants to squeeze this stuff into smaller boxes...it just dont work. These are desktops, so going bigger isnt going to hurt anything. If i wanted a case to drag all over h--l's half acre than i would get a big desktop with a removeable tray, custom build a lanbox to fit it and go from there.I saw some others complaining about dual chambers, like on a P182, and i agree with them, but if it was implemented in bigger cases than it would work to our advantage, instead of being a pita! So the moral of the story manufacturers....build bigger cases already!! Antec has the right idea here...super mid-tower with a elegant look and NO plastic armor. Thats another trend that needs to die.Oh, and yes, id love to win one too!!odditude - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - link

Do what you can to help spread the word and protect the freedom that the internet provides us. You can go to Mozilla's homepage to find out more.

"void where prohibited" Yea, I stopped reading there. I wish I could CTRL-F "important stuff" or "relevant stuff" Maybe I should call my lawyer. Is this case worth the consulting fee?Legalize, can't live without it, but can't really live with it either.

Antec has always been my choice for cases. After switching from the P180 case back to my aluminum P160 Antec case, the following features are enough to make me finally upgrade my case."The enclosure is bigger and easier to work in, and has more room for expanding the system inside. There's plenty of space for mounting a good, thick 240mm radiator at the top, cable routing is slightly better, and the two internal fan mounts invite experimentation."
"Toolless locking mechanisms for the 5.25" drive bays are in place, as well as six drive trays that can support both 3.5" and 2.5" drives, with silicone grommets for the 3.5" drives to minimize vibration."
"A massive cutout in the tray to maximize compatibility with aftermarket cooling, and rubber-lined holes surround the tray for routing cables to the back."

I think the hds shouldn't be sideways. From here, it looks like that reduces airflow pushed by the intake fans. That may not matter much to the hds (cooling wise) but I'd rather have more intake airflow to cool a high end gpu.

I would love to have a P280, my current case is 9 years old and I am sick of being stuck with video cards under 9 inches in length due to interference issues.thrgardinad - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link
Could use an upgrade from my first and only case of 8? years. xDradiator - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link
Going to pull the trigger on a build at the end of this month--interested to see how everything would go building inside a higher-end case like this instead of the budgets I usually go with.dabbith - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link

The P182 would make a wonderful replacement for my aging Thermaltake Tai-Chi. A bit tired of having this tank of a case, and I've already had to re-tap the threads for just about all the case screws two times over.KalistaNeal - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link
I'm majoring in networking and information technology. We are building computers in my current class. I'm going to be using the AMD FX-8150 Processor - Eight Core, 8MB L3 Cache, 8MB L2 Cache, 3.60GHz (4.20GHz Max Turbo), paired with the BIOSTAR TA990FXE AMD 9-Series Motherboard, this case would make an awesome addition to my build, and let me put more money on a graphics card or two.Who says only boys can be geeks!

I've been using a P182 for over four years now and I love their cases. This would be a welcome addition to my home. It would probably snowball into updating my entire system though, which would be expensive.TheStork - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link
I'm going to go take a look at this case over the Thanksgiving holiday. I need another case like the Corsair 600T. I wonder if the debut of the P280 for ~$130 USD caused Corsair to drop the price of the 600T down to $120 USD AR at Newegg.fralexandr - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link

I'm eye components for a new rig. Everything I have is currently housed in a Lian Li V1100. While the case looks nice, it's pretty awful for cable management. I think the P280 would be a breath of fresh air in terms of ease-of-build.chuckymonkey - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link

It's a really nice case, but not quite enough to woo me away from the Corsair cases yet. Wouldn't mind seeing them side-by-side. My current case is feeling quite cramped -- CM690. With an upgrade planned for next year, I need to decide on something methinks. :)stede - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link

Dustin sounds a bit biases toward this case. He wants to like it but he just seems stuck on past...failures I guess for lack of a better word.

I've been using the same giant dull beige tower with odd smudges and stains for years. It first housed a P3 800mhz with GeForce 2 MX 32mb graphics (back before the smudges and stains). It's been updated on the inside every couple of years though.When my house was broken in to, the thieves never even thought to take it because ugly = old = worthless, no matter how new/expensive the insides really are.
That said, I could use a new case for an upcoming build.
