At the time of publishing of this article, the P182 was a great value. In it\'s price category, it\'s hard to find many other competitors that offer similar features, and with the same level of quietness and thermal properties. Because all of this, we would like to give the Antec P182 our Editor\'s Choice award, and 10/10.
