Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Antec P183 is a mid-tower case targeted to the exigent user that wants a high-quality mid-tower case. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.



Strong Points

  • Top-notch quality.
  • Amazing number of hard disk drive bays that will please even very high-end users (six).
  • Hard disk drive cages are removable.
  • Dust filters.
  • eSATA port.
  • Speed control for the fans.
  • Three-layer side panels to reduce the noise produced by the PC.
  • Noise-reduction mechanisms (rubber shock absorbers) for the hard disk drives.

Weak Points

  • Could have four USB ports.
  • Could have one FireWire port.
  • Could have come with black thumbscrews for fastening daughter boards.
  • Could have come with thumbscrews fastening the left panel.
  • No screwless mechanisms for holding disk drives.

In summary, we think this is a terrific product for the user that is looking for an above-the-average mid-tower case. We were really impressed by its quality and options. The only real negative point about this case for the Average Joe is its price. However, if you are looking for a high-end mid-tower case full of options and won’t mind paying more, this case is one of the best options available on the market and won’t let you down. You may even consider P193, which costs only USD 10 more and comes with two 140 mm fans on the top and one 200-mm on the right side.
