Antec P183
$140.00
Released November, 2008
The Pros:Drops the front IEEE 1394 FireWire port for an eSATA one. Steel chassis for durability, anti-vibrational properties vs. aluminum. Front door air vents, larger side vents and thinner plastic grills for improved thermals - allows for less impedance to incoming airflow.
The Cons:Internal and back steel structures are left unpainted (not as slick as all black cases). Only a small evolutionary step over previous generations. Nothing stunning aesthetically.
The Antec P183 is an advanced ATX, super mid tower computer case compatible with Mini-ITX, MicroATX, and standard ATX motherboards. It features a dual-chamber design that isolates heat and noise by enclosing the power supply in its own separate chamber.
