The editors didn't like
Doesn’t feel as “professional” as the older P180
Series
Aesthetics of 2.5″ slots
Power supply is not included.
Left hinged door
Heavy for its class
Slightly heavier than other cases
Priced in the mid to higher end for midtower cases
Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions
No Forward Fan Included
No Side Fan (Unlike The P193)
2.5-inch drives stick out farther than expected inside chassis
No front-panel eSATA port
Could use an extra cable routing hole near the bottom of the motherboard area
Cable routing grommets still pop out of the tray
Why are the power LED wires shorter than the rest? Knockouts?!
Hohum stock cooling
Rubber grommets fall out too easily
Front plastic quality a bit too soft
Only 120 mm fans in the ceiling - 140 mm or larger would easily fit
Sound dampening may not be very effective
No real manual
Silver screws instead of black ones
1year warrenty
Very heavy
Door could get in the way if the 5.25" drive bays a frequently used.

Doesn’t feel as “professional” as the older P180, series, Aesthetics of 2.5″ slots
P280 continues to impress us just as the whole Performance series has done so far. There’s some innovative things in the P280, like the 2.5″ hard disks slots. Unfortunately, they did not work just as I thought they would and the aesthetics of the slot...
