Antec P190+1kw

[CAD4466HK]

I've waited long enough for CES to arrive so the P190 can be unveiled:p
This was the teaser I saw: http://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=812&Itemid=0&limit=1&limitstart=1

I think I rather like that case. P.S. on bottom, where the heaviest piece should be, looks like any supply would fit(even that ungodly 2kw p.o.s.) Awesome cooling potential. _ReeL

Hmm, it seems like a bigger p180, with other mods. Probubly only a bit longer, but it looks like the rear psu compartment is the same size.

Shame.

It can run dual PSU's now, so I've heard:p

[Sir_ReeL]

What price you think? $200-ish? _ReeL

I don't like it.

The huge 200mm fan vent in the side panel will let more noise out. Not to mention the bearing noise such a fan will have. One top vent was already pushing a lot of airflow around, the second opening will again, let more noise out. Regarding the dual-PSU idea, nothing that requires that much power will be quiet.

The P180 is a much better quiet case, the P190 is more of a high-power maximum airflow case.

As long as the doors fit right and don't bow out and they replaced those cheap ass clips, I could care less:p

what's the 1kw bit at the top mean, nothing mentioned in the post:confused:

The real surpise of the P190 is the use of included dual power supplies! The PSU area was completely revamped and it slated to include dual power supplies, one for the video card and one for the motherboard and other components. Antec reps made it very clear that these are not redundant power supplies, just a way to split the load between two units rather than using one very expensive power supply. The total wattage is rumored to be about 1200W between the two "Neo-Link" units. No price has been announced yet, but expect it to be about, maybe even over, $400. This case was designed with the hardcore enthusiast and the quad-SLI user in mind.

This is a very interesting move considering rumor has it that Antec is going to have a 1000W power supply out soon. There is no official word on this, but I would imagine it will be a Trio (which uses three +12V rails) and it will

I could care less about a 1kw Antec, thats why it wasent mentioned

I always had the impression the p180 was very reasonably priced for such a good case, however, from pricing opinions of this one, I think its going to be too dear.

I hope they make a version with a solid sidepanel, no psu's, and p150 styled hard drive mounting, which slides out like a p180.

best of all worlds.

And included Molex/ATX/P4 extenders.

Even if you get not one but TWO doorstops? Actually, that would be a lot of wattage for the price, if the above estimate is correct. If the two supplies are included. _ReeL

yes it wasn't immediately clear that it would or wouldn't include the psu's, well, imagine that, if its an improved p180 with 1kw of power on board, it would be some convincing case, pardon the pun, not to buy. even better with 2 1kwatters, or even 2x2 kwatters;)
