    P193 is the antonym for "sleek". Really quite an eye sore.

    Hmm I like Antec cases usually, we have one. But I can't say I'm too crazy about this, prefer the older one.

    The vents are straight from the P180 mini - interesting to see tech filtering UPwards

    Not much has changed from the original P180 I bought when it first launched, I like the design but routing my PATA cables was a pain.

    it's just a P182 with some holes cut in the front :S
    and then a little bit glued to the side for the other one

    Man that fan mount on the side panel is ugly...would've been nicer if they'd made the case wider so it didn't have to protrude - they could've then used a single 'big boy' in the roof too - but I suspect they haven't done that because it would mean a lot more work changing the production lines.

    The P183 price is a bit steep for what you get personally...

    P193 is alright, the side panel fan could have been designed differently, perhaps having the whole case slightly wider just so that the side vent doesn't look like it sticks out so much.
    Very pleased Antec decided to ship this without the dual PSUs like in the P190

    No not much has changed except the £40 to £50 price rise. When you look at the likes of Coolermaster and what £120+ would get you from their range I think we have no contest ... P183 for £125 and only ships with two fans - poor show Antec.

    Re: News - Antec officially launches P183 and P193 chassis

    Anywork on allowing for the extra few mm's required for a bottom-front 120mm fan? That was always a gripe.

    I agree the new price doesn't really reflect the case you are getting though, it was perfect for £80-£90.

    The bottom section fan mount is now in front of the HDD bay, plenty of room around there.

    I think these cases are not offering good value and the P193 reminds me of a nice car that has been modified into some sort of schoolboy wet dream.
