    Case Construction

    The motherboard tray is offset from the right side by about an inch and fully vented.  Coupled with the four rubber grommet lined cable slots there is plenty of room for cable management.  Installation is aided further by the oversized heatsink window and plenty of room around the motherboard to run cables.
    Antec includes several black wire ties along with the typical assortment of screws.  Replacement parts/screws are included for the other hardware including an extra drive grommet.

    Each of the internal 3.5"/2.5" drive bay scan be accessed from the left door.  The drives are mounted in easy to remove drive trays featuring rubber grommets for noise reduction.  As you may have guessed these trays will do double duty as 2.5" drive mounts although no grommets are used for this configuration.
    The inside surface of the drive cage offers a mount for two more optional 120mm fans.  Coupled with the two front locations the P280 can really move air across the drives and into the case.  The locations had is pondering an internally mounted radiator with fans mounted on both sides.  Double radiator installation with no messy external clutter, its possible!
