P280 User Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the Antec P280!
Sophisticated and cutting-edge, the P280 emphasizes the ease of use, quiet technology and
unparalleled performance characteristic of Antec’s Performance One series. This advanced
enclosure comes equipped with features that will maximize your PC experience, from Quiet
Computing™ panels & HDD drive bays, to grommet-lined cable routing holes with ample space
behind the motherboard tray. The P280 accommodates motherboards up to XL-ATX and
includes nine expansion slots to support up to four 13.0” / 330 mm graphics cards. And with
convenient tool-less optical drive bays, easy-access front & bottom PSU intake air filters, two
front panel USB 3.0 ports and an affordable price, you get an elite enclosure that will last you
for builds to come.
The P280 does not include a power supply. Make sure you choose a power supply that is
compatible with your computer components and has a long enough power harness to reach
your motherboard and peripheral devices. We recommend our High Current Gamer, High
Current Pro or EarthWatts power supplies for the latest ATX specification compliance, broad
compatibility, and power savings capability.
At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. As
such, your new chassis may differ slightly from the description in this manual due to
improvements applied for the optimal building experience. As of November 15, 2011, all
features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct.

This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s computer
enclosures. For more comprehensive instructions on installing the
motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the manuals that
come with those components.
