Internal View Part II:

     Not only is the top drive rack removable, but each bay slides out making hard drive swaps quick and painless.

     Here we have a photo of the sound dampening grommets that fit between the hard drive and the hard drive tray. You can also see the spring clip that keeps the drive in place. This is a similar to the way the 5.25" drives are installed in the front of the case.

     Speaking of the 5.25" drive bays, here is a picture of an optical drive being installed. I really love Antec's design...accept no substitutes.

     As with Antec's P180 series, nearly everything in the P190 is sound. Even the edges that may come in contact with side covers are lined with rubber material to absorb vibration.

     A new addition to the interior of the P190 is an internal LED work light. I was quite surprised to see this, but it could come in handy.

Conclusion:

     Antec's P190 is a fine example of a case created by a company who truly cares about what their customers think and want. The P190 isn't for everyone, but this case will definitely have its fan club...I nominate myself as president... But seriously, the P190 is one hell of a case designed and built for the computer enthusiast who wants the best of the best, sparing no expense. The quality is second to none and I don't think I have ever seen ANY case so over built. Yes, the P190 is build like a tank, and weighs about the same! Antec has done an outstanding job here and the P190 will be sticking around my office for many years to come. Yes, the start of another ultimate water cooled gaming machine! As for the $450 price tag...WHO CARES!!! This is one of those times if you have to ask how much it is, you can't afford it.
