Antec has been building high quality computer enclosures, power supplies, and cooling solutions for more than two decades. In fact, this year is their 25th anniversary and to celebrate, they've released several new cases that take the features from their previous generation products and improve upon them. Today we look at just such a product, one that takes their extremely popular P180 case and updates it in the form of the "P280 Super Mid Tower Performance One Series Case".
