Was the front door design changed? I preferred the clean look of the P180 over the P183. Thank you. Hi pqyrz, As far as I know the only changes are just the SSD mount and the cut out of the motherboard tray. This case however, does NOT have USB 3.0. So to answer your question, the front door design...

The one with the backplate cutout and ssd mounting? Don't see any comments on reviews on the big names that anyone has gotten one. Hi Hellspawn, We made a few changes to the P183 but we did not name it v2 or rev. 2. This 2nd version has been released earlier this year and we have shipped this 2nd v...

Its a little bigger in size Yes, it's (unfortunately) too much bigger (and I'd also rather the traditional aesthetics of NSK series) for my requirements, while it can't either mount a CP-series PSU (a good invention from Antec). Maybe the only option I'd like to see from Antec is a brand new NSK340...

Right now I'm running a Phenom II 940 with a Xigmatek S1283 cooler (stock fan), a 790GX ATX motherboard for graphics and a Corsair HX520 PSU in a Thermaltake Tsunami case. Its runs pretty quiet right now when most of the hard drives are idle (not silent though), but part of the reason is I don't ha...

As in subject, with reference to overall dimensions (so no more than 35x20x36 cm). And with or without any mating PSU (as Antec supplies its 380w humming baby, with it). Any precious hint will be welcome! Sincerely, Luca Hi Luca, If you would like to stay with Antec, I would suggest the Antec P180 ...

Long story short, middle fan can not fit because of pci-e connectors. Connectors fit but wire cant. I will try cut some plastic on molex to pci-e adapter connector so I can make custom 90 degree connector. Anybody knows where I can mail order 90 degree angle molex to pci-e connector? EDIT I have fo...

Hello accipiter, We're sorry that you don't like the look of the P183! As far as the aesthetics of the case go, the reason why the vent on the P183 are enlarged is because it increases the airflow and cooling of the case significantly. Also, if quiet is what you're going for in your build, you're no...

Anyone knows if Antec is planning an update to some of their cases? What is their typical update cycle? Basically I would like to know if they are planning an update to P183, NSK3480 and possibly to the older Solo. Thanks. Hi Ghitz! As far as I know, the new products that are coming out in the next...

Hi meridius, I believe that spacing out your HDDs evenly (with a gap between them) will result in the best airflow. Regarding the PSU compartment, the reason why the PSU is segregated from the rest of the case is so that the heat it generates will not affect the rest of the internal components. You ...

I just checked with our product development team and we are glad to see that the new versions with the CPU cutout is now available! These should be available on the P183, P193 and Mini P180 soon if it is not out there already.

Thanks,
Antec

Actually, if it helps, we do have the 150W version of the ISK 300 coming. Very soon, in fact.

Thanks,
Antec

Hi everyone, Sorry for the confusion about this issue. There are a few reasons why I posted what I did in the other thread: The models that are being sold are exactly the ones that we are seeing the knockoffs of in HK, so we are simply trying to warn people, not necessarily cast suspicions on the se...

Hello,

You can try the MiniP180, it has the basic layout you describe.

Howdy, Thought I would drop in here, seeing as how these are Antec units! :D Just want to mention that we've seen a few cases of HK knock-offs of the Smartpower 2.0 crop up lately, so buyer beware! Plus, the Smartpower 2.0 is a little aged at this point... I'd be surprised if the legit model worked ...

Hello Olle,

Out of curiosity, what were you hoping to hear about the CPX form factor?

Hello everyone,

You guys are doing a pretty good job of comparing the two cases on your own, but you can check out the flyer of the P183 to check out the main differences between the P182 and P183:

Thanks.

Hello all,

Assuming that you are willing to sacrifice some of the space for one or two HDD bays, you can have video cards of up to 12.5". That's the official word from the engineers on our end.

Thanks!

Hello Tillett,

I read that you are returning the item to Newegg, but it may be faster to RMA the PSU through our own support service. Here's the URL:

Apologies for your rocky experience, we hope your replacement works out well.

Yes, like SebRad has said, you can remove one of the HDD drive bay cages in the Mini P180. The result is that you can fit a fairly massive graphics card in there.

Good luck with your build!

Hello everyone, About the Lanboy Air: obviously, it's still in the prototype stages, so a lot may change between now and the case's release! But as many of you have pointed out, it is a departure from the norm here at Antec. But that's done on purpose. Let's face it... if someone's going to buy a So...

Hello everyone, Aside from the apparent aesthetic differences between the three models, there are a few feature differences... I would link to the product flyer, but I can't post links yet... account's too new. :) Head to Antec's site and go to the P183 product page (Enclosures > Performance One > P...
