  • 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

  • It's hard to think what else Antec could have done to make this thing any quieter. The inclusion of polycarbonate on the side panels is a novel one which yields real results in terms of the amount of noise that's generated. I shoved in some test hardware,...

  • Overall I'm really happy with Antecs P280 chassis, while many aspect of it don't leap out at you at first, it has plenty of refinements that make it perfect for today's high end components and gaming rigs, while keeping an (almost) understated appearance...

  • spacious interior, good cable routing options, top notch sound dampening, plenty of cooling options, great appearance
  • no front fans included, awkward placement of fan controller, The Antec P280 retails for $139 in Canada at NCIX which is a good price point for this chassis. Amazon stock the case for £119.99 in the United Kingdom, Kitguru says: Because of the price and ov
  • Today we are looking at the latest offering in the Antec Performance One lineup… the P280 chassis. We have reviewed many Antec cases in the past and have generally been impressed with their combination of cooling efficiency, build quality and wide rangin...

  • Quality (30% of the total score) Quality is by far the most positive aspect of the Antec P280 case. One can easily tell that the company’s engineers spent a fair amount of time designing and optimizing this case. The structure of the case is virtually ...
