Antec Shows Off P380 Flagship Chassis

Antec showed off its next flagship PC chassis, targeting enthusiasts, the P380. This full-tower can house E-ATX, SSI-CEB, HPTX, and XL-ATX motherboard types, apart from standard ATX and micro-ATX. It features 9 expansion slots. The frame is made of SECC-Steel, but the case features high-density polycarbonate panels, which look good (faux-aluminium), and work to absorb vibrations.

Drive bays on the P380 include two 5.25-inch, and eight 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drive trays, split between two cages, with the bottom 6-tray one being detachable, to free up 465 mm of room for some really long graphics cards (350 mm with the cage in place). Cooling system includes room for a 360 mm x 120 mm top radiator, and another one along the front panel, and a 120 mm rear exhaust. Front panel connectivity includes two each of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0/1.1 ports, and standard HDA audio jacks.

Why do all these company's have to make the drive trays so bulky, i am really getting tired of the lack of thought going in today's cases. Just same old shit if not worse.

They are bulky from the front, but pretty thin where it matters. Don't worry

Happy P280 user here.

My next Case will be a Antec Performance again, but not untill USB 3.1 is a standard.

I'm not really disappointed, since I've never seen an Antec case I liked. Still dull as dirt, no innovation, no clever design cues, but at least you no longer need a Dremel to remove the drive cage, so I guess they're only 5 or 10 years behind Phanteks or even Inwin...

I kind of like the overall design. From what I have seen, many companies that make cases feed of of one another with respect to design. Having said that I have seen a number of companies taking design inspiration from Antec after the fact.

The antec p180 was the quietest case i ever owned, whisper quiet. Not sure how this one compares but worth investigating.
