Antec Mini P180


$105.00 Released January, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Slick minimalist aesthetic. Doesn't come with a crappy PSU - lowers cost, encourages buying a quiet, higher quality PSU. Constructed of steel - no vibrational properties of aluminum, solid feel.

The Cons:Non-standard 200mm top fan. Doesn't fit regular ATX motherboards. Doesn't include PSU - incurs potential hidden system cost, lower value.

The Mini P180 is a mini-tower computer case from Antec. Built as a miniature version of the P182, the Mini P182 follows in its footsteps to strike a balance between performance, style and cost. The case is split into two sections for the best thermal distribution: the bottom section for the heat-sensitive power supply and additional drives, and a top section for the majority of hotter components.

Product Shot 2 The Mini P180 contains all of the same features as the larger P182 such as removable drive cages for easy drive mounting, rails for easy installation / removal of optical and main drives, sound dampening on the walls of the case, pre-drilled holes for a water cooling system's reservoir, dust filters on the front intakes, and good cable management to allow hot components better access to fresh air. While the case does have setbacks, such as poor intake due to a great deal of physical obstruction, it remains quite popular amonst modders, gamers, and fans of silent computing. For those uninterested in modifying or investing in fans, the P180 comes with 3 preinstalled Antec Tri-Cool fans with 3 different speed settings, however, the top exaust has gone from a regular 120mm fan on the P182 to a ginormous 200mm one. Comes in black and white.
