Why is Antec doing this?

Apart from my low budget when buying a new PC a couple of months ago, the top exhaust on the P180 is what made me discard the case from any consideration. Now there's two of them?! With a side fan that would be impossible to replace? OMG.

They might be preparing for the quad-core monsters, but I don't see why they couldn't have provided a P192 with no top exhaust fans and with a 120mm side fan, which I'd gladly set to exhaust and not worry about any intake fans if I were to buy that case (still stuck with the POS SLK3000B).

This is going to be noisy, silent enthusiasts will again have to block the top exhausts with something, and it'll look ugly...

Oops, I'm sorry, I must've missed it in the Antec 2007 thread.
