In the past we have had
the good fortune to review a large number of Antec products yet I can
say with all certainty that this is by far the nicest case we have ever
reviewed from their labs. If you
have read any of this review you know already that I am talking about
the Antec P-190 enclosure. So what makes this enclosure so special
that I would give it so much praise when I talk about it? For one
thing it would have be the sound deadening provided through out the
case. Secondly it's abundance of fans through-out the case which offer the
best overall temperature control of any case we have ever tested.
So before we give all the information away lets take a closer look at it.
