I had one. Nice case, great airflow, roomy inside, top I/O panel is handy, design of front bezel doesn't flip my switch. Yes, it does need a PSU of your choice.

Here's my official thoughts on it.

Looks like a nice case. I'm happy to see Antec leading the way in cooling by moving all their cases to 120mm intake/exhaust fans. The cooling/noise ratio is so much better then 80mm and most cases just waste the space used by 120mm over 80mm fans anyway.

I have one. Very nice case indeed.

I also have one and it is very nice case for the money. I have the factory P160WF one with the side panel window and the window is huge as there is maybe 5" around the eadge that is solid panel the rest is window so if you want to show off the inside if the case this is the case to get. Also lots of room to hide wires🙂

Im thinking of buying one in my upgrade in a few months.
I`d get the Sonata, but the P160 would suit my needs better, looks better, and has room for a AseTek WaterChill System inside it.

This is a great case nice cooling quiet and very light. The front bezel light, the rear fan lights, and if you get a antec true blue ps all match in color. The clear side panel is large and has three large "indentations" which is different but tasteful to the case.
if you want to utilize the front panel for audio and have a sound card get the audigy 2 platinum (the one with the front panel). you cant plug the audio cables to the sound card. So dont get the gamer like i did

I've decided on this case for my next case modding adventure. 🙂 I think I'm going to go with this case and try and set up my first water cooled machine. Seems to have plenty of room and some nice features.

I was looking at the factory side panel with window online, and I saw that it had some marking on it. I guess they actually are on the final product, in the form of "indentations"? That's a little disappointing. Would it affect applying window applique's in any way?

One other thing I'm curious about is if the side and top panels are removable? It makes modding those panels (especially the right one) alot easier if it doesn't have to stay attached to the rest of the case. 🙂

Those patterns on the window are 3 big oval-shaped indentations. They're supposed to mimic the 3 intake vents on the front bezel. It looks like the window is flat on the outside but has ridges on the inside.

Both side panels are removable but the top panel is fixed. You'd have to drill out the rivets to remove it.

It is a great case. I bought it last week because it was time
to retire the Fong-Kai. Plenty of room and great cooling.
