  • 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

  • The newest Performance One is about a third lighter than the P183 without sacrificing much in structural integrity. The P280 feels a bit less substantial overall as a result, but still quite sturdy against its competitors. Some of the features left be...

  • One hundred and forty US dollars may sound expensive for a mid-tower case, but the Antec P280 is more than a simple mid-tower case. With nine expansion slots, it fits the needs of the high-end user who otherwise would have to buy a big and expensive fu...

  • Antec has shown once again with the P280 that it is still possible to engineer a unique chassis at an excellent price point without having to resort to generic tooling or crazy designs. The P280 looks simple, but offers an excellent and solid feature s...

  • It was probably unreasonable to expect better thermals out of the Antec P280. The enclosure isn't a homerun, at least not in its stock configuration, but it's most definitely a strong base hit. While competing with Corsair's Carbide 500R and Obsidian 650D...

  • While the Antec P280 offers things like native USB 3.0, silence in operation, dust filters, tool-less installation and with plenty of room to grow in, it offers things most overlook when designing a chassis. The P280 will handle GIGABYTE's G1 Assass...
