Yeah I understand the slightly exaggerated marketing used for some products these days. I just thought with the good rep of the older P-Series cases, and with other companies putting out such well reviewed 'silent' cases such as the Fractal Design, I would have thought Antec would have made a bit more of an effort to reduce overall noise output of the P280.
I mainly think it's down to the lack of soft dense side panel foam, mediocre stock fans which seems to be the case with most companies anyway. Also the feature that I think Antec missed with the P280, is sound insulated ports to cover the top fan holes would have been a nice addition. I think with the three stock exhaust fans, and the front door, it makes it basically a negative pressure case at stock, but if they supplied the ports for the top fans, it would keep it much quieter and also allow for positive air pressure and less dust. This case would be amazing if that was a feature.
Still a top quality case. I think making separate clubs for the two would make it easier to relate to each others builds, and how people have set up their own watercooling/airflow/noise reduction solutions in the two cases. If the groups stayed as one, it could be harder to reply to one another, projects and questions could start getting crossed over and confusing to follow after a while. That's my thoughts about it anyway
) fan mounting system and accessible front filter, and pretty much all the modern features of a case that work.
