When the front door is opened the first thing I noticed is the two intakes for the fans. These are actually “push to open” doors that hide the included fan filters. These filters are washable and surprisingly effective. Normally, I would cover these filters with nylons to keep the small dust particles out; there is no need for that here.
The inside of this chassis is no slouch either. There is, at first glance, plenty of room to install all of your components comfortably without the fear of slicing up your fingers. Each internal fan is attached to a switch that lets you choose which speed you can run your fans at, remembering that this is designed to be a quiet case, this is a welcome feature. I would have actually preferred a front control like a rheostat or something other than having to open the case every time you want to adjust the fan speed.
The chassis is designed to segregate your components. There are a lot of cases showing up with this two chamber design and Antec has chosen to implement that for the P-180. The top of the chassis is designed to be the home of your motherboard, 5.25″ drives and a couple of your 3.5″ components, and one of the greatest hidden features of this case.
