The 540 is a totally different target audience. The P100 is aimed for gamers who strive for air cooling and silence. The 540 is aimed at the watercooling guys.
I came here to post this. But you stole my moment. My P182 was the nicest all-round case I can recall owning. What sort of price are we looking at?
What Jinq said. The 540 is primarily aimed at air cooling but is pretty capable for watercooling setups too.
This is what we want to see from Antec! Smart, clean, well thought out designes. nice one! Fractal tuck Antec's place i think in there absence but with Antec back in the game looks like some good competition coming our way!
Sorry, wasn't trying to start a debate or make a point or anything. For the record, I'm a gamer seeking cooling and silence. Air or water is by the by at this stage It's a great looking case, i loved my p180 and still own it and it looks a worthy successor.
Decent looking, good layout, I can certainly see the attraction of this case! (apart from the fact that it's too big )
