Antec P180 Review.
Recently I purchased the Antec P180 ATX case for my build and I have to say it’s truly an amazing case, with only a few drawbacks.
I have always thought this case was beauty at an expense. 3 layers of noise canceling metal, a minimalist design, that just looks really good, for a whopping £80; double what I paid for [...]
