Antec's thoughtfully-designed case brings you not only top performance but unique style, with its striking gun metal stainless steel exterior. The interior features a separate lower chamber with its own 120 mm TriCool fan, to house your power supply (purchased separately), isolating heat, and reducing system noise. The upper chamber comes standard with rear and top 120 mm TriCool fans, and spaces for an optional front 120 mm fan, and a middle 120 mm fan to cool your VGA. The three-layer side panel and front door stifle system noise, and the door opens 270-degrees for easy access.
Front-mounted ports give you easy access to two USB 2.0 connectors, one IEEE 1394 connector, and audio jacks. Rear panel features external controls for the fans in the upper chamber.
You'll have all the room you need to build your dream system, with bays for four 5.25" external, one 3.5" external and six 3.5" INternal drives. There's space for an ATX motherboard up to 12"(W) x 9.6"(L), seven expansion slots, and rubber-grommeted mounts on the rear of the case for an optional external liquid-cooling system. The built-in cable organizer behind motherboard tray keeps your cables under control. This glossy case has everything you need to build your white hot gaming system!

This is a well built case.
- Pros: Exquisitely designed. Case fans on low setting are whisper quiet and keep the case adequately cooled. Room to route cables behind the motherboard is a big plus. Removable and washable lint/dust filters were a great idea.
- Cons: No case speaker? Fans do not include connectors for motherboard case fan monitoring ports. Had to remove the middle drive bay to fit an 8800GTX. Poor documentation and manual and on top of that it was a P180B manual.
- Other Thoughts: The metal flanges on the middle drive bay case are what make the 8800 fit too tight. Mounting the drives in the bottom bay was not a problem and they will probably stay cooler given the bottom fan so nothing to complain about really. I was able to fit a PC Power and Cooling Silencer 600 PSU in this case with minimal effort. Note: The bottom drive bay mounts are vertical not horizontal!
"Clean Cut" and Sturdy
- Pros: Very simple yet CLASSY look. ||
Door great for "hiding" the tower. ||
Position of the Power Supply IDEAL for Heat Control and Weight Balance ||
GREAT Air Flow, Top Air Vents VERY efficient ||
- Cons: IS a Bit Heavy ||
Door hinges (plastic) feel a little flimsy ||
Power Cables a bit hard to route to CD-Drives||
Internal mount brackets feel a BIT on the cheap side.
- Other Thoughts: BOTTOM Line: I LOVE This case.
I like the simplicity on the outside, with the neatly laid out plan on the inside.
I use this in my office, and it looks very nice there. MAY even pass off as a Media Center Tower!

Nice Case
- Pros: Tons of room to get in and work. Installing everything in this case was a breeze.
Plenty of room for expansion. Two bays for up to 6 hard drives (though I gave up one for better air flow). Built in IEEE 1394 connector in the front in addition to USB is a nice plus.
Running the three fans that came with it as well as a fourth I picked up to add a little bit extra ventilation and it is still nice and quiet. I'm able to sleep with the system running in the same room without any trouble.
Love the look of the case.
Got it free from my brother-in-law which is always a good thing.
- Cons: A bit on the heavy side, but it's not like I move it on a regular basis.
Wasn't able to route my power supply through the back of the case to the CPU power connector. But I got it hooked up through the main chamber so no need for any sort of an extension cable.

BE WARNED - size, routing issues
- Pros: Once its finally set up, cable routing behind MB is great for cleanliness. Like the separation of thermal zones, and the fully shock-mounted hard drives. Looks very cool.
- Cons: First off, this case is 2-3 inches taller than your average mid tower, almost full tower size. Right now i am going to buy a new desk because the case doesn't fit in the mid tower spot (don't have time to wait on a return).
Second, cable routing will take you hours of battle. My PSU didn't fit in the cage, so i had to remove it, and then i had to really crank on the cables sideways to keep them from sticking right into the fan they placed right behind. MAJOR strain to reach the 12v cable to the MB. This case was the MOST DIFFICULT and unpleasant install i've ever done.
One small last thing - it was another battle to remove the metal cover where my internal card reader needed to go since that area was enclosed in metal and totally unreachable. Silly.
- Other Thoughts: Again, pretty unhappy about the size issue. It's 21.3" tall vs most other mid towers at 18-19". And even with the extra size, the bottom compartment is still ridiculously cramped!
Huge Case
- Pros: -Size can be deceiving, however there is plenty of room!
-Fit everything in this case with no problems.
- Cons: -None
- Other Thoughts: If your unsure of any aspect of this case during installation check the instructions.
