The modern version of the P180.

Pros: For the sake of this review, I'm going to compare it to my pride and joy: The Antec P180. Prior to the P180, I would buy a new chassis every 6 months, at least. Once I got the P180 I knew that was it. The perfect case. Except of course the awful cable management through the "hole" between the primary and secondary sections. The P280 improves upon that hole by getting rid of the whole bottom section. Instead it's all one open area. HDDs also face forward instead of sideways (huge improvement), and they added a slide in (no screws or snaps) dual 2.5mm bay for SSDs, nice touch guys. The P280 also borrows from the P182 with the "cables behind the motherboard tray" trap door area. This gives me a much cleaner look. The power button is also on top of the case instead of inside the door, another great touch. So why the four stars?
Cons: Well, this case is not without its faults. With the lower price comes a few cuts. First off, the sides of the case are NOT made out of the same nicer material as the front, and none of the panels are remotely as nicely finished or material quality as the P180. I've got both cases side by side here, and the difference in quality is obvious to the touch. I don't go around rubbing my cases, so it's not a deal breaker. It still looks very monolithic and dominant, yet simple and elegant. Another problem I ran into is that you can only secure the 5.25" drives from the left side (primary opening side). This was an issue with one of my drives, as it is a bit wobbly inside the tray. This also doesn't come with drive clips that you attach to the drive. Instead you just slide in the bare DVD/BD drive, and it clicks into a piece of plastic. Another spot where Antec cut down on materials and quality.
Overall Review: I ran out of space in "Cons", so here's one last bullet: Lastly, they got rid of the 2.5" external bay. You might be thinking: "The hell does that matter?" Well, some of us have memory card readers, or fan controllers, or easy bake ovens. It's nice to be able to use those accessories without being forced to buy an adapter. Overall this is a great chassis. It is far easier to work with than the P180, but the materials have taken a turn for the cheap. I recommend this case to anyone looking for a spacious, elegant, and easy to work with chassis.
It works.

Pros: Fits four hard drives, 2U, and most important: Very shallow depth. Too many cases out there are massively deep (23 inches?!) and simply take up far too much volume making working at the back of a rack a chore.
Cons: 1. Paint scratches very easily. Paint should not be weaker than my fingernails, there's a problem there. 2. Razor sharp edges everywhere. 3. 5.25" bay holes do not like up at all, completely inadequate. I had to use hot glue. 4. DOESN'T FIT ON A RACK! Yeah, the rack ear holes are nearly half an inch too wide! This is not a fault of my rack, I have 15 other devices mounted without any issue whatsoever. I'm now going to have to drill out new holes.
Overall Review: I got this because it was the only case that was 2U, fits four HDDs, and very shallow design for mini-ITX boards. And because it remains the only one, I'm probably going to buy another. Just keep in mind that the tolerances and quality of manufacturing are very shoddy.
Not bad, but some serious disappointments

Pros: Great price, well built, lots of physical connections and options. The boot speed is splendid, and the EFI is a breeze to use.
Cons: 1. Does not have WOL. And if it does, I'm not seeing it. The LEDs even turn off when the power is off, and there is no option in the EFI/BIOS to enable it. This is a serious disappointment. 2. Even worse than the above, this board does not have the option to automatically boot back up after a power failure. Nearly ever board I've ever used has had that feature. 3. Audio header is way on the back near the I/O ports and the cable from the front of my Lian Li rackmount chassis do not reach. Not a big deal because I never use them anyway, but why put them on the back for a connection that is almost exclusively on the front?
NOT as advertised!

Pros: None.
Cons: This is advertised as the PureGear Micro USB "Charge Only" cable. It is not, this is the PureGear Micro USB Charge + Data cable. If I wanted a regular USB cable, I'd get a regular USB cable. Also, it didn't come in retail packaging! Just a plastic baggy! Seriously guys?
Overall Review: I've bought the PureGear Charge Only cables from other retailers in the past, and gotten the correct product.
Awesome game

Pros: I love this game! It made buying a Vita worthwhile. I am the biggest critic of motion controls yet I think Gravity Rush uses them perfectly (as in supplementing traditional controls, not replacing what could be mapped to a button with a waggle).
Cons: None!
Great deal

Pros: Works great, easy to install. I can't believe this thing was so cheap.
Cons: None.
Fraudulent company!
I bought cables from them, and they sent me the wrong one. Their phone number just rings and rings, no one answers. AVOID!
