Antec P150 Quiet PC Case - 430w HE Modular PSU

Is this case and psu any good lads? £82 for it, but has anyone else got one, or had one before, anyone any experience with this one? Just wondering what hey are like, and if the PSU is OK.

From what i can gather it looks like a nice case, maybe a bit on the small side but perfect for an average sized system.
Theres a good in depth review on Silentpcreview you may find of some use.

Take what SPCR say about Antec cases with a pinch of salt, they are HIGHLY biased.

So should the review not be trusted?

Silent PC are definately a bit biased towards Antec's stuff but this comment gives the impression that the review is all lies which it certainly isn't. The P150 is a good case a little pricy for what it is but still a good case.

Oh I never said the review is all lies, but they have a habbit of completely glossing over problems with all of the Antec cases they review, much like THG do with Lian Li and Coolermaster. The review video bloke (3dgameman is it?) does the same with Coolermaster.

Its to personal with cases, but you can not say that some Antec cases do not have flaws when Antec themselves accept them as design flaws. SPCR have a habbit of doing this.

The review is worth reading, but make sure you read about 10 / 20 on the case, and ask on a COUPLE of forums.

Here, we like build quality (well I do

) so Antec's offerings rarely cut the mustard.

Brilliant little case. With the emphasis on the little.

Can be a tight squeeze for certain motherboards (mine's a Asus Premium) but if you take your time and are careful, everything will fit in and you'll not have any problems. I find mine runs cool, quiet and looks the part to boot.

PSU is fine for most applications, unless you intend on running a monster rig. I'm running a Opty 165, two DVD burners, 7900 GT, one SATA drive and a few other bits and everything works fine.

I think it's far more stylish than some of the other popular cases round these parts, but ultimately there's no accounting for taste is there? Still, white, silver and blue LEDs do it for me.

Thanks for the feedback chaps, much appreciated.

It'll have an ASrock conroe mobo, Conroe 6600, ATI X1800XT, 2 HDD,s a dvd burner and a couple of gigs of RAM.

Hopefully, after reading your post it should be OK.

Thanks again
