Antec has shown once again with the P280 that it is still possible to engineer a unique chassis at an excellent price point without having to resort to generic tooling or crazy designs. The P280 looks simple, but offers an excellent and solid feature set. From the fans, which can be set to high or low speeds and are pre-wired within the chassis to the additional 2.5 inch bays, the chassis focuses on functionality. Antec also ensure that users can stuff the P280 full of hardware, be it hard drives or up to four big and long graphics cards, while easily keeping it tidy thanks to the the excellent cable management options and the big space behind the mainboard tray.
All these aspects are rounded off nicely by the well engineered door with the Aluminum plate, which thankfully distracts a bit from the soft plastic used. This is the only real weak spot of the P280, but luckily no deal breaker for the vast majority. Overall, the Antec P280 offers loads of space, great looks, excellent functionality at a great price point - so you cannot go wrong with this one folks.
