Hey

Just wondering if anyone here has an Antec P190 +1200 case?

I've heard it comes with 55watt psu and 650 watt psu?

Hows the cooling with it?

Pros Cons etc...

thanks.

Forget that dual PSU hype, load distribution is craptacular with all heavy power consumers loading only 650W PSU while second PSU can be happy if it gets even 50W load. (HDDs, fans, opticals)
Cheaper P193 without PSUs is more sensible case choise.

Ah I'm not after it because it comes with PSU's, just wondered if it was true.

So how similar is the P193 to the P190?

'cuz I do like that case!

Differences are mainly external except lower chamber's fan has been moved from disturbing PSU's cables to front in P193.

Hmm, it looks ok I guess... I do prefer that sleeker look of the P190 though... but it is so crazy expensive!!!
