Wednesday, July 04, 2012: Antec, Inc. is proud to announce the P280 cabinet, the newest member of the award-winning Performance One Series. The P280 reflects the sophisticated appearance and Quiet Computing™ engineering of its Performance One predecessors, while offering a new set of features at an attractive price for users building with current and next-gen hardware.
Continuing the legacy of Performance One enclosures, the P280 integrates quiet technologies such as sound-dampening steel / polycarbonate side panels, a triple-layer front door and hard drive trays with preinstalled vibration-reducing silicone grommets. Its understated aesthetics will appeal to gamers and enthusiasts who prefer a stylish, functional appearance.

Every feature in the P280, from the enlarged internal layout to the air filters & fan mounts, is included to accommodate high-end systems. Supporting up to XL-ATX sized motherboards and four-way GPU configurations, it offers a new level of expandability in the Performance One series.

Understanding the importance of convenience and ease-of-use, the P280 includes tool-less optical drive bays, 3.5” drive trays that are also compatible with 2.5” drives, 30 mm of cable routing space behind the motherboard tray and six total cable routing holes, four of which are grommet-lined. The front & PSU intake filters can be removed without taking off the side panel or tipping the case.

“Performance One has always had a special place in the hearts and minds of our customers,” said Mafalda Cogliani, Global Marketing Director at Antec. “With convenience & ease-of-use coupled with an attractive price point, we expect P280 to introduce customers new and old to the next generation of Performance One.”

Commenting on this launch, Mr. Kevan Li, Regional Sales Manager, India said, “High Performance paralleled with Quiet Computing™ is a basic necessity nowadays. The award winning Antec P280 cabinet is a very welcome addition in the Performance One Series for our Indian customers. We’re looking at fulfilling the demand of gamers, tech enthusiasts as well as corporate professionals who aim to have the best computing technology at their disposal.”

The P280 is available now in India for an approximate retail price of INR 7,900 through selected channel partners.
