Hi how big is the Antec P183 compared to the antec 1200?

Im thinking of changing cases and im looking at the Antec P183

P183 is the one to get, I think the P193 is overkill unless you have specific needs for a huge case rather than a large one.

Have you considered any other cases?

no but i would like one that is a lot more silent than my current antec 1200

But im not sure if there any good as they are a fair bit cheaper

Either of those is a solid choice I'd have a closer look at cooling ability of cosmos though.
What fans do you have in your antec 1200 btw ? cant you get quieter ones and run them low rpm ?

Ive already gone ahead and ordered the cosmos looks a solid case and a excellent build from reviews.

Also seems to be extremely silent which is what im after.

The cosmos cooling also reads up pretty well apart from the lack of fans aimed at HDDS ,and tbh ive never been that impressed with my Antec 1200 cooling,no doubt many ppl would disagree though.

Top 200 or 140mm (Cant remember size)

2 front for HDDs

1 back which was removed for my Corsair H50 CPU cooler.

Fermi is one heck of hot card so there's zero amount of intake air to waste with Cosmos being very intake air limited.
Definitely better try having that H50 as intake because single intake just can't deliver enough air for all exhaust fans and extremely hot graphics card.

Temperatures of most measured components, CPU and GPU, depend hugely on their coolers and its fan speed so cheese grater case doesn't really much any because it can't make air cooler than room temperature. (while if noise is any concern it forces big lowering of fan speeds and efficiency reduction of coolers)

I'm using a P193, it's massive, and it's near-enough silent.

P193 is Antec's only E-ATX case and as such their most spacious case for long gaming graphics cards.

But its heigh is still mid tower and it doesn't have anymore devices bays than P18x.
