makes sense 
Interior is very nice - so clean without legacy drive bays.
Not a fan of the front looks though, and have never been a fan of usb ports on the side of the case (as too easy to catch memory sticks etc plugged into them and break them - both when on or under your desk - front or top are generally better)

design elements are always subjective. Can never please all people that being said, this drops into the quite limited mATX market and should do well.

I'm in the market for an MATX case and eying up the inwin 301c currently

after looking at the PDF I think it looks quite smart and the logo is projected onto your desk, it would certainly be on my list if I was downsizing, but I'm loving the P110, imo its a phanteks beater. I def think antec are back in the game, that and their new PSUs

the P50 was a brilliant case. Great for a matx case too.

I have been looking myself for a new case recently, but the choices aren't great. Tempered glass would be nice but so many have a black finish which I kinda feel has had its day. A bit like gloss piano black furniture and television bezels. Ugh..
I'm currently using a Silverstone FT03 titanium with a custom cut window and it still looks every bit as awesome as it did 4 years ago. The only downside is the lack of airflow.
Any chance of a P110 in different finish options, preferably a titanium colour?

I have the P50 with 6 3.5" drives stuffed into the back and acting as a file server. Very roomy case and nice to work with, but lacks the premium exterior that I'd want for a high end gaming system. The Corsair Air 240 fits the bill much better in that respect.
If you rereleased it with tempered glass and a less plastic-y exterior then I'd be interested. But I would imagine that would move it north of its ~£50 price bracket..

So why not bring it back
It has the same expansion options as the P50?
I grabbed one of these: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/frac...ni-window-micro-atx-case-black-ca-07b-fd.html in the black friday sales last year for about £30. Very happy with it! Would reccomend, even at the higher prices.
How can you add more
How did you manage to add extra
How did you get more 3.5" drives into your p50 and is it the same way you would do it with the Air 240.
I've just stuffed them in there with sheets of foam between and a fan laying ontop. It's not pretty but it works just fine.
I got the P50 before I switched my gaming rig to a H440i otherwise I would've used the Air 240 for my NAS build and done the same. In actual fact there would've been more room in the 240 as the 2.5" bay on the P50 is bolted in whereas the 240 the 2.5" cage can be removed.
