Hi Guys

We have some epic new cases on route from Antec.

First up is the P100 Mid Tower. This is a perfect case for silent computing. Building on the foundations of Antec's classic Silent series chassis.

The interior of the case is roomy and uses substantial sound deadening materials. There is room for loads of storage drives and the option to use the top panel as a vented area.


Second up is the ISK 600. This case is outrageously good quality. Ace Modder came in this morning with a sample of this and the P100 and the ISK is my favourite without a doubt.

Lots of room and a classy brushed aluminium exterior makes this an ideal small form factor choice.

I really like the reset and power button designs that Antec are using in these new cases. very unique and classic. Certainly a brilliant choice for anyone in the market for these very specialised cases.

I see he has been to the 'Ace Modder School of Photography'...

Oi, my first pics in my build log were poor, its the tools you use. Mobile phone cameras are not great. But decent cameras are good. He was prob using a an apple phone.. we all know apple is rubbish

But seriously, shows that the case has decent room anyway.
 
The P100 does nothing for me, but I do like the mITX case.
The only thing with that is I think it would be nice if the ventilation holes on the left side ran further down the side. Seems a good position for a blower cooler on a long card, but if you had a shorter card then they don't look like they'll line up as well. From the picture it does look like the cooler wont be tight against the side though, so I don't imagine it's a problem.
Any idea what height a GPU cooler could be and still fit? (looks like 2.5 slot coolers would be ok, but after that it's getting a bit tight, especially with regards to airflow?

EDIT: Also surprised he didn't use one of the new Antec AIO coolers, bit more Antec branding couldn't be a bad thing?
