Im "updating" my build pretty soon and I was just woundering if anyone owns a P183 or if you have seen one personally because Im thinking about buying that case. I found one for around $130-140 but it is still expensive for my budget. anyways If anyone would like to add their two cents that would be much appriciated. Or if you have suggestions for a different case (I will buy a gtx260 soon also) BTW.

P.S. common sense is anything but common.
 
I was a big fan of the P182, and the P183 is even better.

It's a great case for $130.
 
Thanks for the reply. I was just on the antec website and was comparing the P180 to the P183 and the only difference, with respects to dimensions, is that the 183 is an inch taller than the 180 that is it. And other than that much is the same. one last question is that can the P183 fit these new 11" graphics cards? I would just buy a full tower but I can't find one that has class yet demonstrates conservetive look and is affordable. if you know of any please share your thoughts.

The P183 should fit 11" cards but you lose the upper drive bay in doing so.

And no there are more differences than that between the P183, P182 and P180 cases. Read the review I linked to see the differences.
 
P180 is the original case, the one I've got. The p182 has a couple minor changes, including watercooling holes and cable routing holes for cleaner cables.

The P183 is the newest, with support for Antec's proprietary PSU form factor (which is pretty cheap for a quality 850W power supply, so a plus), relocation of the lower HDD cooling fan to the front of the case (a welcome addition) and changes in the front panel vents for increased airflow.
 
I like the P183.

Think it took a step in the right direction after 182. Do like the slits in the front panel and how it looks Transformers-like. :cool:

Interior seems just as roomy for your compoents as the 182 did too.

Danny posted the review I was about to. :p
 
What's with the weird vents on the front of the P183? I don't like that at all. A dust collector no doubt

Internally it looks very similar to the P180, great case btw. One of my best purchases.

The only problem I have with the 180 family is that it is so heavy.
 
how long is a GTX275? The P183 can't fit them or is it because you have 2?

I thought 10" was the limit, but a GTX275 isn't THAt big is it? Or maybe it is... lol

It will definitely fit them. However, you will not be able to use the top hard drive cage.
