    silly idea tbh. especially as there are 1.1Kw psus available. And the newer hard drives and cpus are using less power, Its just a penis thing i think :p

    Maybe if they used 2 fanless psus to keep the noise down.

    Looking at my P180 mere inches from my head this 'new' case seems identical except for the additional 120mm fan in the top and a hideously expensive PSU.

    They reckon its for 'enthusiasts' but most folks I know prefer to choose their own PSU independent of the case.

    Or maybe I'm just getting old and crabby and am looking for something to complain about :D

    I would never buy a case with a psu already. ITs one of the worst things that can be done. Plus the cooling in the p180/190 is good enough already without the additional fans.

    Well Antec PSUs are pretty good so any Antec Case with a psu near always gets good reviews.. If Tagan/seasonic etc made cases n included PSU's would u not buy their case??

    I think the inclusion of the psu is a good idea, after owning a P180(for 3 days) and trying to get my PSU into the damn thing i had to sell it.. It was a terrible design.. Wasnt made for modular PSUs, or any large psu.. Although I do agree, 1200w is crazy.. I remember the days when 350/400w was the best u could get and still seemed excessive.

    What i'd like to see, seeing as that psu is basically made to fit that case is no wiring..

    I'd like to see sockets around the case where u plug in leads for say ur HDs, cd rom... One for the mobo, anothe for ur GFX.. That'd be pretty cool
