Antec's new P193 doesn't deviate that much from the original, but that's a good thing. It witholds its build strength, strong cooling characteristics and its cable management is still top notch. I like the moving of the side fan to a more...

The Antec P193 is a worthy successor to the original P190 and fortunately it also is much cheaper. It is by no means a cheap tower case, however most enthusiasts will find the price justifiable. Being a very carefully designed, large and very...

I’ve had an abiding affection for Antec’s Performance One series of cases ever since the first P180 came out, and the P193 only reaffirms it. “Enthusiast” cases are usually flashy, loud and attention-grabbing; the P193 and its...

The Panzerbox, however, was also among the louder cases (measured through observation), and the loudest was the Thermaltake Element G. The Antec P193, even with its huge side fan, was the...
