  • 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
