I bought this case in 2012, iirc. At the time it was a pretty good case, but it has not aged well at all compared to other offerings out there. Other brands have popped up and become popular such as NZXT and Fractal that offer a **much** better value at lower price points.

Large grommets and backside opening for cable routing; Uniform coloring (all black); Easily accessible/removable filters for cleaning; Dedicated slots for two SSDs Good space for HDDs USB 3.0 ports Strong magnet to hold the front cover

Somewhat cheap construction; Coming from the P182 this case felt and is definitely cheaper in design and construction than what Antec used to make; Case feet are cheaply made and can easily fall off or break; Front door feels cheap.

Antec's P series of cases have always combined a certain muscular roominess, aimed at pleasing PC enthusiasts who want to pack ALL OF THE THINGS into their systems, with the simple, restrained design of folks who don't necessary want be seen as enthusiasts who want to pack ALL OF THE THINGS into...

Had one for a couple of years, nothing bad to say really. Kept my 4.4GHz 2700K (with a True Spirit 140) and 7970GHz cool, loads of room for everything, quiet, and despite my initial skepticism concerning the fan layout, it worked just fine. CPU maintained a 65C under max load stress tests with ease.

The Antec P280 is a minimalist, beautifully designed case for low-noise computing. The workmanship, cable routing, and design details add up to a very good value for the money.

Built-in sound-deadening material; Very spacious interior; Understated design

2.5-inch drives stick out farther than expected inside chassis; No front-panel eSATA port

The Antec P280 Case is the perfect option for a quiet computer build. With acoustic dampening material inside, this case will reduce any computer noise to a minimum. The overall design, build quality and styling is great and it's not going to break the bank.

The P280 isn't quite a showstopper, but it's a very well-rounded chassis that touts high-end features and low-noise operation in a simple, sophisticated frame.

5 Flares 5 Flares × 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 ranging component support.

I purchased this case as it met all my requirements and several online reviewers also confirmed what I was after. The case itself it great to build with. Lot's of room and reasonably high quality build as you'd expect from Antec. However, the front ports are not up to the job.

We're in two minds when it comes to the Antec P280. On one hand, it's a wonderful case to build a system into, with the superb build quality we've come to expect from Antec. There are plenty of excellent design decisions on display, from the pair of externally removable dust filters to the return of...

The Antec P280 provides loads of features for a price that won't bust your wallet.

Great design; sleek looks; quiet; LEDs that are not super bright; tons of room behind the motherboard tray; space for E-ATX boards with 9 expansion slots; room for 2x SSDs AND 6x HDDs; space for up to 7 120mm fans; room for a 2x120 radiator; rubber case feet; vibration dampers for HDDs; unique SSD...

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?
