Last year at CES 2006, the buzz from ANTEC was the highly anticipated ANTEC FUSION (reviewed here). This year, the buzz is all about the new "P" series cases.  In addition to that, lots of other cool things have been revealed over at their show suite at the Bellagio Hotel here in Las Vegas.  Let's check them out!

SONATA III

Ooo...shiny...eSATA!

The SONATA III sports a revamped front design with a newer layout for the external ports.  It also includes a new front eSATA port. Other than that, little else has been changed or altered inside. Prior SONATA II users may be happy to know that they are getting rid of that CPU/GPU air duct that turned out not to do much except for increase the noise level. For a quick comparison, check out our review of the older SONATA II.

P182

I want it painted black...

Next up is the P182, which is more of an update of the famed P180 (reviewed here). Instead of the silver exterior, ANTEC has gone with a black metal look and has added a couple rear ports for liquid cooling tubes. Also, to aid in some of the cable management, there is an adjustable panel and an extra hole for other cables as well as some cable management possibilities behind the motherboard.

The new P182 is also setup for water cooling systems with these two rubber grommet equipped holes.
