Antec Performance One P180 (00761345818001) ATX Mid-Tower Case

Pros: Very cool and quiet. Good looking and well built

Cons: Front door covers power and reset buttons. VGA vent is useless. Somewhat expensive

The Bottom Line: A solidly built case that offers a unique look and excellent cooling. Large amounts of room for expansion and it is also very quiet

Review: When shopping for a case for my first build ever I was amazed at the wide variety and price points of cases available at the various retail and online stores. I finally settled on the Antec P180 after seeing and playing with it a bit at a local ...

Pros: Excellent Design, Quiet computing with High end Components. Sound Dampening material.

Cons: Some PSU's have ATX connectors that are too short to reach motherboard, and need extender.

The Bottom Line: This may be pricey, but if you want excellent cooling and quiet cooling at the same time, this is a quality case

Review: The Antec P180 is very aesthetically appealing. In todays world of superflous cases with insane amounts of glowing LEDs and windows, UV and other bling, the Antec P180 stands apart. Its appearance is striking, unlike any other case, it has a refined look ...

Pros: Black, Beautiful & Quiet!

Cons: None!...Ok its heavy!

Review: I had this case for about 10 months, and Antec recently sent me a new replacement front panel and the two side panels in black. My old panels were silver and warped. Its really remarkable how beautiful black can be! And without the warp! And yes its an ...

Pros: Great quality, well designed and engineered.

Cons: No case speaker included.

Review: This is a professional looking,quality computer case made for the no-nonsense builder who wants a case to last. If you are going to buy just one case it should be this one, because you will never have to buy another. The engineering and construction ...

Pros: Silence, attractive design, plenty of internal storage room.

Cons: Expensive, panels are a little flimsy and warp, no BTX support!

The Bottom Line: Above average case purely based on the design features and noise level reduction. However, unless a quieter pc is your major consideration I would steer clear at this time.

Review: I have long been a fan of Antec PC Cases (particularly the SX series) and when I recently came across the P180 in a retail store and saw the features, I had to have it. The packaging and design promised a QUIETER PC, a better cooling design and with my ...

Pros: Ultra-quiet, sleek looks, sturdy, high build quality

Cons: No cable management, no motherboard fan control support, heavy

The Bottom Line: If you want something that looks sleek and sexy, and is very quiet, the P180 is a smart choice. Just be prepared for cable management headaches.

Review: Let's face it, most computer cases under $100 are noisy. They're really thin plastic or aluminum and have zero sound-deadening. And for whatever reason, cheap cases are horrendously over-styled. Antec aims to change all that with the P180 series of ...

Pros: Excellent layout, airflow, and design.

Cons: Pricey, and the case is HUGE.

The Bottom Line: Definately consider it if you are building a new PC.

Review: Features*: * Unique upper and lower chamber structure: The power supply resides in a separate chamber to isolate heat from the system and lower system noise * Innovative three-layer side panels and front door (aluminum, plastic, aluminum) dampen ...

Pros: Spacious, holds lots of drives, good construction, advanced cooling and noise dampening design

Cons: Heavy, some may not like the door on front, no removable motherboard tray.

Review: I just got this case a week ago, and have not yet installed my Motherboard, etc. (although I put the power supply in last night) This is my first expensive case, as in the past I have been more of a "cheapest possible case" guy. I have to say, I am ...

Pros: Good looks; quiet fans; excellent cooling; spacious interior.

Cons: Internal noise (power supply, drives, internal fans) is not muffled. Some inconvenient design.

The Bottom Line: Buy it for looks, or for it's internal design. Don't expect it to quiet a noisy system.

Review: NOT QUIET: All cases are quiet -- they are just boxes. It's the stuff inside them that is noisy. Reading the reviews, I thought the P180 would capture that noise, with only muffled air passing through. Not so. That lovely, solid door in the ...

Pros: Sturdy, quiet, attractive, spacious.

Cons: Flimsy front panel, hard to install power supply.

The Bottom Line: My final answer is: If you buy this be very careful with the front panel. It breaks off very easily.

Review: Pros: Nice styling, fairly quiet, sturdy, straight forward directions, plenty of room for stuff. Cons: I'm not crazy about the front panel. The door is held in place by four tiny plastic knobs. Somehow I bumped the door and one of the knobs broke ...
