Antec P180B Unboxing and Very Informal Review
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007I was in the market for a new case. My last one, some no-name cramped little tower was nearing ten years old, and couldn’t handle modern parts anymore without severe cooling problems, and it couldn’t even fit a front case fan properly without vibrating no matter what fan I used; not only that, it didn’t dampen noise from anything in the case.
I decided I wanted a case that was elegant, black, made of heavy steel, and designed to be dead quiet. I decided on the Antec P180B. This case is the kind of case Darth Vader would buy. This is the kind of case that would find itself at home next to a Bugatti Veyron. In 2001, this case is what they found floating in space near Saturn. This case makes both HAL and Sharon Apple envious.
This case is now quietly running under my desk as I write this article. Not only is it running silent, its running cool. Antec really designed a winner this time; I mean, you wouldn’t think it would be possible to obsess about a case, but this case should not hold parts… it should be placed on a pedestal and worshiped.
And now, the unboxing.
