COMPUTEX 2007: Antec shows us two new cases, including an new P180 with all the great features the old one had, but this one got shrunk in the wash.

the mini P180 doesn't have the same door as the P180, but it is pretty close

both cases look really cool

that would make a beast HTPC enclosure, being small and well kitted out, with sleek minimalist lines.

as for the 1200, the WC potential looks great, especially with threaded holes, but have they lengthened it or is it just taller?

I don't like mini cases. I find it hard to fit enough stuff in them, I like to have a lot of stuff coming out the back of my PC. the size of a standard case is just fine for me, maybe a bit bigger just for more space inside. I know that mother boards fit in the mini cases just fine and fill it, but I miss the days of really long mother boards that would have like 6 PCI slots on them for more cards.
