Puget Systems Description

Performance reaches new heights with the P183, the next enclosure from Antec's high-end Performance One series. With the latest Quiet Computing™ technologies, the P183 delivers first-class performance at its quietest, coolest and most stylish. Dual chambers isolate the power supply and CPU into separate cooling zones with up to 5 configurable fans. Three-layer sound-deadening panels dampen noise even in very high-performance systems. Ease-of-use, sleek design and Antec's reputation for quality make the P183 worthy of being the standard for high quality, quiet systems from Puget.

The latest update to the V3 edition of this chassis replaces all of the front
ports with USB 3.0 connections - enough to require two internal USB 3.0 headers. Not all motherboards have that many headers available, though, so if there are not a sufficient number we will cap off the unconnected ports. If you want to ensure that doesn't happen, check with your sales rep to see if adding a USB 3.0 expansion card would be helpful.

This specific model also includes our custom case window kit for added visual appeal.

Puget Systems Professional Advice
William George (Customer Service) Says:
Unlike the transition from the P180 to P182, with the new P183 the color has not changed: it is still a nice gunmetal grey. However, there are several other changes - both aesthetic and functional in nature - which differentiate this model from its predecessors. The new front design, both of the door itself and the bays behind the door, is intended to improve airflow; whether you like the appearance, though, is up to personal taste. On the inside one of the fans has been moved around to allow larger power supplies, which is nice, but now it is closer to the front of the case and might add a little bit to noise. Personally I like the look of the older models more - but if you are going for a quiet system this series of cases from Antec is still the best choice I've found.

UPDATE: Antec is now on the fourth version of the P183, and has added some new features since its debut. The front ports are all USB 3.0 now, and the connect internally, but because there are three of them it requires two internal headers... and at least when this case debuted there were no motherboards with that many internal USB 3.0 headers. That means additional USB 3.0 controller cards are required if you want all of the front ports to be functional, which is a bit awkward. Despite that, though, it is still the quietest ATX chassis on the market - and our most popular case for new builds!
