Antec's Performance One series of cases have been the recipients of much praise from the industry, with some going so far as to claim they are the de facto standard for inexpensive feature rich performance computer cases. We're going to test that claim with the most recent addition to the Performance One line, the P182 Advanced Super Midtower.

There are just so many computer case manufacturers with such a variety in models and styles, it's really starting to confuse the consumer -- I mean, there's probably more diversity in this area than there are cars on the street. However, there's really one case from one manufacturer that stands out from the rest today -- famous for silence, simplicity in aesthetics, detail of design, reputation for performance, and mainstream pricing -- in fact, it's so popular among our readers that it really pushed me to get one to try one out. If you already have an answer in your head, you probably guessed it -- the P182 'Performance One' series case from Antec. Built upon the Antec P180, this improved version comes in a slightly different color by default and promises much better cabling capabilities without whipping out any power equipment. So, what's the craze all about, and should you get one as well? We'll dig into the details in our review today.

Cases are one of the least frequently updated PC parts. You might get a new motherboard and CPU, more RAM and a bigger hard drive, but you stick those parts in the same old case. Even my own workstation - if you added up the age of all the parts in the PC (my parts have an average age of 10 months) they'd still be collectively younger than my case (six and a half years). But the time comes, and the bell tolls for these old cases. Once at the top of their game, they now are relegated to the cellar. Bigger fans and fancier features make the old cases look prehistoric. Features like cable routing, integrated rubber spacers for vibration abatement and rubber grommets for routing your liquid cooling tubes are all the rage these days.

Last summer, we reviewed Antec's P180 system case, discovering a bunch of issues that we got pretty vocal about. Fast forward to today and we now have the chance to find out if the second incarnation of the P18X series, the P182, is a better proposition.

The Antec P182 is the popular company's newest offering in its line of Performance One case designs. The new model sports a number of new features to accommodate water-cooling enthusiasts, as well as features for traditional cooling systems and a fancy, shiny body. The P182 is the successor to the widely reviewed and much liked P180. ThinkComputers delves into this case to see if it surpasses its predecessors.

The last case we reviewed from Antec was their model 900 and it has proved to be one of the most popular cases on the market thanks to the immense amount of space it offers. Today we are reviewing the new P-182, this case is designed to help eliminate the excessive noise that certain peripherals might generate within you case. Come on along as we take an in depth look at the Antec p-182.

It's a well-known fact that Antec produces some of the best cases on the market, and the P182 is a perfect example of that. We have here a case that looks great, packs a lot of smarts and is efficient, all at a price that's easy to swallow.

Improving on the already popular P180, the P182 should satisfy almost everyone's needs. The design is visually appealing and also very utilitarian. To set itself apart from competitors, the case has many refinements such as the silicone-grommeted hard drive cage and sound-absorbing panels. Also, with room for five 120mm fans, cooling should not be a problem at all. Special features include the water-cooling grommets and the fan control switches.

Antec, the makers of several user-centric cases, making the best use of space and always using tool-free designs. Today I have their current flag-ship model; the P182, which features noise-deadening panels and the first case I've seen with an optional spoiler.

The original P180 series joined the Performance One family in early 2005. Nearly two years to the anniversary, Antec has released the refined P182 Performance One ATX case. The name may be new, but the engineers borrowed heavily from the old P180 to create this improved design. Benchmark Reviews has compared both cases side by side, and we clearly define the innovative changes in the new Antec P182 Performance One ATX Case in this review.

We see it all the time; a company puts out a product on the verge of greatness, but ultimately hampered by a few deal-breaking flaws. Such was the case (giggle) with Antec's P180, a quiet enclosure that suffered from a poor blueprint for cable management. They've heard your complaints, and the redesigned P182 attempts to be what the P180 should have all along. Can they pull it off, or should Antec have stuck to the drawing board just a bit longer?

The Antec P182 is a truly magnificent case and there's very little not to love about it. Its design is cool and understated just like the much-loved original and the system functions near-silently thanks to a fastidious design, even when we deliberately try to hot things up under the hood.
