Antec P183 Advanced Super Mid Tower

Introduction
 
Founded in 1986, Antec have grown into one of the best known manufacturers of PC upgrades, enclosures and components. Based in Fremont, California with offices around the globe, Antec have been working on becoming the market leader in providing efficient, quiet and reliable products.  Today for your visual pleasure, I have the privilege of taking a look at one of their latest products – the Antec P183, successor to the P182, which was reviewed by Graham Newton and received the OC3D Recommendation back in 2007. Will the new Antec P183 live upto the family name?
