Antec P183

The P183 is the newest version of Antec's P180, the case which resulted from the year-long collaboration between Antec and Mike Chin, the founder and editor of Silent PC Review. That truly first class case including sound dampening and airflow optimizing features is improved here with the P183.

Performance reaches new heights with the P183, the next enclosure from Antec's high-end Performance One series. With the latest Quiet Computing™ technologies, the P183 delivers first-class performance at its quietest, coolest and most stylish.

What's New In The P183:

• Front door vents, as well as wider vents along the door frame, improve airflow into the chassis.
• Filters and filter doors are integrated as one unit. The doors themselves have been modified to provide greater airflow, resulting in cooler system temperatures.
• Drive bay covers are vented and include air filters to provide better airflow.
• Lower chamber fan is now located in front of the hard drive cage, allowing for installation of longer PSUs as well as easier cable routing between the lower HD cage and the power supply.
