Intro
The original P180 case was launched already three years ago and has since been replaced by a new and improved P182 model. The
P1-series also includes the P190, which is a larger case including same design features as the P180, but it also offers room for
EATX-motherboards and dual power supplies. Now the performance 1 series also includes a long awaited mATX-case - say hello to the P180 Mini!

Mini P180
There have been pictures and rumours of the fourth P180-series case all around the internet, but finally Antec launched it early this
year. It belongs in the same family with the P180 and P182-cases, so one can expect it to share the features that made the original
P180 so popular.
Already by comparing the boxes that the P182 and P180 Mini come in, it's easy to say that the Mini is smaller in both height and depth. The packages
follow Antec's stylish black and grey color scheme and are very informative. The most important specifications printed on the box are:

Bundle
The bundle contains a manual, four cable ties, drive rails for three 5,25" drives, an adapter that turns one 5,25" into an external
3,5" bay and a load of screws. The small angle that's in the middle of the image is a hook that can be used to make the left side panel
lockable. Beside the four cable wraps seen here, there are already three of the same wraps installed in to the case. These re-usable ties
are nice especially in case the user happens to change hardware all the time.
