Cons: antec fans suck.

Pros: Best a case gets. Simply incredible. i had a p180 before, the shiny metal one. the case hasn't really changed since, just the price. the fans are louder too.
Comment:
As a previous owner said, if you like flashing lights and buzzers, this case isn't for you. right now, my powersupply is the loudest fan, i undervolted the antec tri cool so they are actually queit, and im running some other 14Dba fans. Every fan slot is occupied and it runs very very queit. Computer is elegant, and shocks people by looks and power.

Some like a noisy little circus, complete with pulsating light show in their case; if you are NOT one of these people, buy this case.Personally, I don't like to see or hear my computer during operation.I have had dozens of systems over the years. This is by far the best case I have ever owned; in fact, I have two of them.Do yourself a favor and go for the CPX850 PSU; rock solid.

Awesome case! Built to Antec quality standards. Sleek design and very well laid out for optimal air flow. Just be careful, some edges are sharp...I cut my hand while assembling my PC.

Cons: - Heavy, not meant for you if you do a lot of lan parties.

Pros: - Easy to work with- Lots of space- Good airflow- Did I say lot of space?
Comment:
This is the second I buy for my friends. This is a excellent case, easy to work with and very solid. It's also very stilish so it won't look bad in your living room.

Cons: PSU compartment is a bit small and cramped

Pros: Quiet, Door swing all the way out (and around), Lots of bays
Comment:
I systems on both this case and the P182. Look wise, I prefer to P182 as it's more streamlined. The main plus for this case is that it combines good quietness and decent cooling. No vibrations so far - all HDDs and Optical drives are secured with the included rubber grommets.A removable Motherboard tray would have been nice. Also, larger PSUs may not fit without some modifications (Specifically the Corsair 1200W)

Cons: - Not enough room at the back for cable at times- Not big (long) enough to fit some video card + Pcie plug- dust filter not removable

Pros: - quiet case- solid build- all HDD mount is vibration isolated.- 2 compartment- limited cable management from the back.- dust filter in the front intakes
Comment:
Case are not make from Al, so you don't get those bad vibration from all Al case some times. There's enough room for a lot of HDD although a video like AMD4780 will take away 2 of those bay because of it's lengths.Although dust filter in the front is a plus the inability to remove for cleaning is a bit disappointing.

Cons: - Heavy but that is because it is such high quality.

Pros: + Sturdy+ Quiet+ Sleek+ PSU at bottom+ Pull out bays+ Key Lock front+ Cable management behind mobo+ Dust filters over fans
Comment:
I had been eyeing the p182 for years before I decided to build a new computer. By the time I was ready, I could only find this model. I absolutley love this case. I had been using a cheap translucent acrylic case for 6 years prior to buying this, and the difference is amazing. (It's hilarious how your taste changes as you get older) It is high quality, keeps everything quiet, and has a swinging door to keep add-ons covered.

Cons: - just needs occasional vacuuming

Pros: - Super quiet (compared to the Antec 900)- Sleek design
Comment:
Got this case for my second computer system, it was a definite step up from the Antec 900 case. It's quiet it looks nice, good to have something that doesn't always need to light up. Love ittt

Cons: the fans are a little noisy, and hard to clean them

Pros: Easy to modulate, easy to clean, very cool appearance,
Comment:
I bought this case a year ago and freaking love this case! Mounting hard drives into this case is very easy and any graphic card with monstrous size will fit in if you are willing to sacrifice the middle HD tray. (You can still mount 4 hard drives to the bottom tray and it should enough for most people) You can also add two additional 120mm fans in the front to cool the hard drives or graphic cards. Beside the little noise, this is an awesome case.PS. It looks very cool, too.

Cons: fan speeds other than low a bit rough sounding.

Pros: Looks good, quality build, removable drive bays give you lots of room to work.
Comment:
I bought this(on sale) and the Fractal R2,just couldn't decide. Both do a great job keeping noise down, and temps low. I do wish the P183 had PSU filtered intake vent on the bottom though.

Cons: Would like an option to mount a 120mm fan behind the drive cage on bottom, but thats minor - Also, wish the interior was black - but there's no window so no real point I guess.

Pros: Good Factory cable mgmt options - Lots of places to hide / route wires - very quiet with the stock fans on low. Love the Locking closing door to keep my 3 yr old from pressing the darn button
Comment:
This is a great looking case - anyone who's seen it has felt it's gorgeous. It's sophisticated, and not all crazy - and quiet. I'm sure the door brings down airflow quite a bit, but it's still very adequate. mounting everything was a breeze, though would be nice for more stud hole options for Mobos. The right side of my motherboard isn't secured becasue there's no hole options in the right spots for it - But whatever - it's in there snug.Harddrive cages are great, cooling options are great, and harddrive mounting in the cages is super easy. lots of nice little details.Wish it came with more than 2 stock fans, but what can you do! I would highly recommend this case - it's quite large - lots of room to work in it.I'll be cutting a window in the side in the near future - Taking the case apart and painting the inside black.The only reason for 4 stars

An excellent case. I still prefer the P182 but this new addition is very nice. There are new things that make it better than the P182 but the front is very odd.

Cons: none apparent.

Pros: Best case I got so far.Have enought place to do what you want-the air flow is perfect-you can have 8 HDD 4Dvd and 3 vido card in this-the Powersupply have his own place seperate from the rest-the fan's are quiet, yes you can have better but still very good.-have place for future water cooling.

I own this since 5 months and I'm very happy with it and I dont think i will change for a few years for sure.

Cons: Big, P182 looks nicer (imho), comes with only 2/5 case fans

Pros: Quiet, Cool, Plenty of bays, Solid Cabling Management, Mostly tool-less
Comment:
Great high-end case at a good price makes this a good value. Anyone used to cheap plastic cases will be blown away by the quality of the build, the good cable management options, the number of bays, the compartmentalizing, the quietness, and the airflow are all superb. Being able to wire cables behind the motherboard and put hard drives near the PSU, turns a typically messy computer cables into something more or less organized.This thing is relatively big, and heavy - but that's the price you pay for all the features (especially the quietness).

Cons: cheap materials, easily scratched, not an upgrade from previous antec p182.

Pros: sleek lines, elegant, quiet, easy to build in.
Comment:
antec took way to many shortcuts when they released the p183. it is nowhere as good as the p182. the main functionality is the same. they cheaped out on the filters or lack of, the side panels under much easier to scratch, the general feel is cheaper then its predecessors.it still comes across as a high end case that is quiet, elegant, and sleek.

Cons: heavy, and the front door broke off

Pros: this case is dead quite, running fans on high speed all day. it has nice cable management and it looks and feels durable and rugged
Comment:
i love it and would certainly buy it for another build anytime. i have not had any trouble with this case other than the front door breaking off, but that was simply because my brother had accidentally kicked it with his foot. overall an amazing case.

Cons: Noisy top fan designPoor air flow

Pros: Looking goodDual chamber design
Comment:
Dual chamber design did reduce noise but it's poor top fan design create  humming noise as other review said. 5 more db.Poor air flow design still compare to open case, 5C more.If you want a quiet case, you should unplug the top fan but it will increase more heat to another 5C. In my case I can't coz my heat sink fan blow to the top.Those air hole on the front panel that you can still press the power ans reset button which makes the key lock useless.Improve alot ait flow design on this new model but actual test doesn't show any help. (I got P182 too)P183 make the front lock useless, Top fan design create  more noise. I think the P182 s better, the improvement = worse design.

Cons: Cable lengths.

Pros: Cable routing and design.
Comment:
Very nice looking case and well built. Because of cable management system this is the cleanest build I have ever done. The only issue is that due to PSU location some of my cables were just about too short made for a tight fit on the 6 pin motherboard cable.

Pros: NiceQuiet (not silent)CoolEasy cable management
Comment:
That's a nice looking case, no its a jewel. I really love the looks of it. Its a quiet case with the 2 Antec Tri-Cool, I also installed 2 Noctua S12-1200 which can't be heard. I considered changing the tri-cool for quieter fans, but for now I will stick with it. In my very hot room, my computer stays cool with the fans running at medium. I hear a little noise, but as soon as I have sound, its inaudible. I know I can run the fans on low, but since my room is really warm, I prefer to give a bit of rest to my components.The power button is "not accessible" without opening the front door. That's a problem yes and no. It sucks to open the front door to open the case, unless you want to lock it because its in a public area. Then again, I don't see why someone would want to have such a good looking case in a public area where anyone can destroy it. I said "not accessible", because I can actually open it easily by putting my fingers into a hole that's half hiding the button and start it.Finally, the price is a drawback, but you pay for the quality you get.

Cons: fans are a bit noisy and you only get 2, but a third would probably add more noise so...

Pros: Great design, looks good, easy to work with, keeps everything cool and quiet!
Comment:
This case was excellent in hiding all my wires! Sometimes its a tight stretch to get the wires routed nicely but everything worked out for me! It keeps everything cool and my friends think its really quiet, I don't agree with them, its quiet, not really quiet, but then again I haven't heard their computers.

Cons: lack air cooling

Pros: Looks great, great calbe management
Comment:
This is a great looking case, slick design. I don't like the bling bling case and this one is perfect for the professional. It's quite, fits anywhere and don't have any annoying lights.The HDD cage systems is old but works well unlike the Hundred series from Antec.This case lack in cooling since there's no intake fan. I would add one if located in warm room.
