P183 and P193 Cases Introduce New Design, New Cooling Features and Greater Compatibility
Fremont, CA - March 27, 2009 - Antec, the global leader in computer
components and accessories for the gaming, PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself
markets, today announced the P183 and P193, the latest additions to Antec's
award-winning Performance One Series. The P183 and P193 cases build on the
popular designs of the P182 and P190, respectively, while introducing
improved cooling and airflow features, advanced noise control and
compatibility with Antec's exclusive CP Series power supply.
The P183 mid-tower case utilizes the latest advancements in cooling with a
dual chamber design; the power supply resides in a separate chamber to
isolate heat and reduce system noise. Two TriCool(tm) 120mm fans-one rear,
one top-ensure optimal cooling, while three optional fans provide additional
cooling capabilities. Added vents designed in the front door also improve
airflow into the P183. The double-hinged front door, which swings open to
270 degrees, allows for easy installation and customization.
The P193 Extended ATX case is designed to provide system builders with
increased flexibility. The spacious interior of the P193 supports a variety
of hardware, with 11 drive bays, seven expansion slots, Mini-ITX to Extended
ATX motherboard compatibility, and room for multiple graphics cards and dual
CPUs. Four TriCool(tm) fans-one rear, two top, and one side Big Boy
200(tm)-ensure maximum air circulation, while three optional fans offer
additional cooling capabilities. Like the P183, the P193 also features a
dual chamber design to isolate heat and noise, added vents in the front door
to improve airflow, and a double-hinged front door for easy installation.
The P183 and P193 come with a power supply mounting adapter to mount either
a standard size power supply or Antec's exclusive CP Series power supply.
The CP Series non-standard "CPX" form factor provides a powerful, stable and
cost-effective power supply solution. The P183 and P193 are the first
Performance One cases to support the CP Series power supply. The P183 and
P193 also feature advanced Quiet Computing(tm) technologies. The P183 is
designed with a three-layer front door and side panels (aluminum, plastic,
aluminum) to dampen noise and ensure quiet computing. Meanwhile, the P193
features two-layer side panels (steel, polycarbonate) and a three-layer
front door (aluminum, plastic, aluminum).
"The P183 and P193 deliver exciting new options for the quality-conscious
DIY consumer, providing Antec's market-leading quiet computing alongside
high-performance capabilities," said Scott Richards, senior vice president
of Antec. "Antec prides itself on delivering advancements that surpass our
