Antec P280 Case Review

Steve Ruxton January 25, 2012 Cases, Featured Announcement

To test the Antec P280 we will be using the AMD Phenom X4 FX-5000 CPU matched with a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard. We are sticking with the reference AMD cooler to cool the CPU.

Test System

Chassis: Antec P280 Super Mid Tower
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 FX-5000
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H
Cooler: AMD reference heatpipe cooler
Memory: 3GB DDR2
Storage: Segate 150 GB Sata II
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2-430W
Graphics Card: HIS Radeon 5570

The stock cooling does an adequate job but could be improved. The addition of even a single front intake fan should lower temperatures of our internal components.

I dont like the front panel, but the rest is nicely done.

good noise results, but overall I think its looking a little dated in some regards. the exclusion of an intake fan is a hell of a bad move IMO. noob mistake.
