Any chance of reviewing the Antec P280

Is there any chance you could review the antec P280 when its released tom? It looks like it could possibly be a good case

Ha, may not happen, Tom's not usually a fan of Antec.

Me either but looking at that it looks like it could be decentt. Its much better than the P190 I had. It was a very quiet case but very cramped inside so I changed it for my 800D sauna noisebox.

I own 5 Antec cases. I really don't think that this case looks that good - it doesn't look bad just not great. CoolerMaster, Silverstone and Fractal have been making innovative good quality cases with those features and more for ages. It just doesn't bring anything new to the party. Antec are playing catchup, which is a shame as the original P180 designed with the help of Mike Chin over at SPCR was truly an innovative chassis.

The main reason I like it is for its size and sound dampening. All other cases I saw so far that have good sound dampening are either very short and barely fit a GTX580 or dont have any place for a 240MM rad. The P280 has space for a 240mm rad in the roof , can acomodate a big GPU and has good sound dampening.

Fair enough. If you do get the case don't forget to report back, preferably with some nice piccies of your build.

Ive got no plans to get this in.

No problem. I will look out for other reviews of the case then.
