Today we received one of Antec's latest and greatest mid tower chassis; the P190 Advanced Super Mid Tower. The P190 is not what I would classify as a mid tower because of the size, however it is Antec's answer for the hardware enthusiast who wants the biggest and the best...period. The P190 is a spare no expense chassis that is built to house the ultimate dream system. Of course for the past year I've always felt Antec's P180/P182 was the best computer chassis around. Well, Antec has taken the P180 and P182 design to the very edge of insanity and have made it even bigger, better, and with an attitude. It's the chassis you have always dreamed of...but on steroids!

     The Antec P190 is a beast of a computer case standing over 20 inches tall, 23 inches deep, and weighing in at a back breaking 51.1 pounds! This baby is loaded with huge cooling fans and comes standard with a dual power supply system pumping 1200 shocking watts of power. The Antec design team obviously locked themselves in the lab over a weekend eating and drinking nothing but Snickers and Mountain Dew to come up with this one. Okay, so it's not exactly the ideal case to drag along to your local LAN Parties, but if you do, people will definitely gaze upon your computer with envy! Let's take a closer look at the monster P190 and see if it's the sinfully gigantic computer chassis you've always dreamed about.
