When Antec entered the case market it was accused of making Chieftec copies and offering little innovation.
The fact they used the same factory was established and never really doubted, but Antec had no intention of being a follower. It didn't take long before it started building more distinct cases offering both decent cooling and stylish design. Some of the most popular so far include the PlusView II, Super LANBOY, Sonata and SLK AMB/AMG
series.
Antec didn't settle for just offering good cases though, they aimed for being the best and the next step toward that was to launch the Performance One series. Today, this series contains three models;
P150, P180 and P182. Yet another model is on the way and we will take a closer look at that one in the future. Today we will take a look at a Special Edition of the P182, namely Antec Performance One P182SE.
Performance One P182 introduced some features the older P180 lacked.
These contributions include pre-made and rubber-coated holes for drawing water cooling tubes through and keep the radiator on the outside, and better control of the fans. The one thing that makes the case a true Special Edition is the polished mirror surfaces and a snake light.
On the coming pages we will take a closer look at this case, which offers quite a lot of ingenious features.
