Whilst this case looks nice and the functionality is undeniable I baulk at the description "superb bargain".
Well over $200 plus money for a power supply.
For not a lot more than the price of this case it is possible to assemble a whole pc that is a serviceable machine for most home users (refer a recent article with a Dual Core AMD processor for <$400). SO given most home or business users don't see the sexiness of this case if they see the price sticker first I think it is over-rated for all except the cutting edge enthusiasists. As you may gather - that is not me :)
Comment made about the PC Authority article:
Antec P180?
Considering the features on offer, the P180 is a superb bargain at this price.

When you have high end components you need a decent case to house it all. |

I spent a tad over $300 or so on my Cosmos 1000...worth every penny. Think about it, what's $220 when you've just spent $1000 on components?? |

Nearly a quarter of the price.
But I like it to. |

Meh, all I really know is that when I went to clean it out, the insides were still clean from last time and it was just the filters that needed a wipe. So, money well spent! :-) |

I thought about the P180 or a similiar family model when I built my latest system at last year, but I ended up going with a Cosmos simply because it's just so darn big. There's miles of space for upgrades, fancy add-ons and spare cabling. Plus, it has more fans then you can shake a stick it...\:d/
