The new version (V3) includes several improvements to its previous version.

• Front damper vents along with larger vents next to the damper frame improve chassis airflow. Filters and filter dampers are integrated into a single unit. The dampers have been modified to provide improved air flow, resulting in a lower system operating temperature. The unit housing covers are vented and have three filters that improve air flow. The chamber fan Bottom is located on the hard drive cage, allowing for installation of larger power supplies, as well as making it easier to route cables between the lower hard drive cage and the source case. 200 ™, a 200mm fan, has been moved out of the unit to allow more space to accommodate larger heatsinks. The removable washable air filter makes it easy to maintain the unit.

The box is protected in a bulky and robust box. Antec maintains its classic design (black / yellow) in the presentation of the product.

Perfectly protected with polystyrene and a plastic bag to avoid any impact.

Front view of the box.

Among its novelties includes a USB 3.0 port. Of high speed.

The entire front panel is detachable, in addition to including a hot swap of hard drives.

The only difference between its sides is that the left includes a ventilation chamber.

This includes an innovative filter to prevent any entry of dust.

On the top panel we have two 140mm fans. Liquid cooling lovers will be able to mount a 2 x 140 mm radiator.

All the fans are TriCool, that is, they have three adjustable speed ranges: low, medium and high.

Back view of the box.

Includes a rehobus to control the two ceiling fans and the rear exhaust fan. It is not the first time that we commented, that for better access its perfect location would be at the front or top.

In addition, the source hole allows us to install an ATX source or the special ANTEC CP. ?

The side panel is very heavy! With a width of 0.8 mm thickness. It incorporates a 200mm fan to introduce fresh air to the graphics cards and processors.

It is also adjustable in three positions. In 200mm fans, Antec are the best.

General view of the internal chassis. We highlight its double camera that makes it a quieter and cooler box.

Both the upper and lower cab include rings and a security screw for removal.

They have a total of 7 expansion ports. It is compatible with E-ATX, ATX and Micro ATX boards

The power supply will not emit any vibration, thanks to the insulating tape included in the box.

Although the photo is not very good, we can see a large hole to hide and save the cables of the power supply.

The box incorporates a rear fan with three adjustable positions. Quite a wonder.

Also two front of 140 mm to increase the cooling capacity.

Antec is one of the best silent and performance box manufacturers in the world. The Antec P193 has won many awards in recent years, but this new version incorporates the great virtues / appearance of the P193 but with improvements to be the latest:

• New design of ventilation and inclusion of filters. New ventilation system and incorporation of a 200 mm fan in the door. To provide fresh air inside the cabinet. USB 3.0 connection. Compatibility with 2.5 ″ hard drives or SSD.

We have verified its performance and we have maintained an Intel i7 2600K and an ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME at 30º in IDLE and 55ºC at full with Prime95 Custom. The Asus GTX580 DIrect CU II graphics card has not gone above 30º in idle and 59ºC in full. This is due to its excellent cooling system: 1 rear fan, 2 on the roof and one on the left door, extracting air with TriCool speed controls (Low, medium and high). Although the most important aspect is its efficiency isolating noise from hard drives and fans. Converting to any inaudible electronic element, thanks to its 0.8 mm steel structure (20kg weight) and its double chamber structure. It also allows us to install high-end graphics cards (removing the first hard drive booth).The Antec P193 V3 is the best choice of silent box and cooling that we can use right now. Its price ranges in online stores € 165.
