Antec P190 1200W E-ATX Super Mid-Tower Case ReviewAntec have released the P190 Super Midi Tower Case, one of the biggest and most powerful cases on the market, complete with DUAL PSUs, we take an in-depth look.

The P190 case is a very similar design to the Antec P182 Mid Tower case, which has been extremely popular in the PC enthusiast market over the last 6 months or so. It has pretty much the exact same drive bay design and configuration, they even look very similar, but there are several key differences between the two models which we will go into more detail throughout the review.
