Antec Performance II SX635BII

Advantages: Low noise, very good airflow + cooling, easier cable management, stylish
Disadvantages: High price, better airflow available

...The P182 is, like the P180, a great case for those who want a quiet but high-performance PC. My temperatures in this case were a good 5ºC lower than in my previous case, which I attribute to the separation of the two main heat sources - the PSU and the CPU. There's also the option to turn up the case's fans without opening it up for when you need that little bit more cooling, or to turn them down for silence. Even at the maximum speed, the case kept the system amazingly quiet, no doubt due to the triple-layered side panels. Whilst the option to change the fans' speeds was in the P180, you had to open the case up to do this - hardly convenient!

The new Antec P180 case is aimed squarely at the high-end system builder. They have built a case that keeps the noise down even in the face of high-end components and serious airflow. The P180 is a handsome case. It stands about an inch taller than most mid-towers so its pretty big but not dauntingly so, and weighs 14.1grams. All sides are covered with smooth siver... Read review
