Aesthetics aside, the P150 does a good job of doing what we want it to do: Provide a foundation for a quiet PC. The damped side panels, the quiet PSU, the suspended HDD mounting system, the cable management hooks and the well-designed front bezel/filter/fan setup — all of these together make an excellent platform for a quiet system. The size is almost perfect; it's the archetypal mid-tower size that hangs around because it just plain works.

The appearance of a case is always subject to interpretation. I think the color scheme of the P150 works nicely. The juxtaposition of the nearly pearl white case, the cool texture of the burnished aluminum trim on the bezel, and the icy blue LEDs work quite well for me. The P150 nicely complements most sorts of modern decor. (Of course, we'll hear from the trendoids who insist on black everything, as its well-known that black computers are faster.)

If I was attempting to quantify my impression of the P150 by giving a numerical rating, I'd probably go for something like a 9.5/10. As I stated earlier, the only nit that I could even attempt to pick with the P150 would be the somewhat early ramping up of the PSU fan. Otherwise, I think it's a great case, perhaps my favorite Antec case ever.

This is a pretty impressive case. I do wish it came in black though.

The interior design might be good, but the exterior looks a bit dull to me.

I'm not a huge fan of white cases but it doesn't look too bad.  I prefer the P180 though.

I just really hate the white color. If it was in black it would be a perfect case.
