Antec P10 FLUX Mid-Tower Case Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The Antec P10 Flux ATX Mid-Tower Silent PC Case is available now from a few major retailers with an MSRP of just £79.99. For some reason, the product is only showing in French on Amazon UK, but I’m sure there’s a Brexit/Covid explanation for that, so just keep an eye out for local stock at stores like Scan.

I should say though, that’s a fantastic price for a case of this quality. Sure you can get flashy lights and tempered glass at this price. However, noise dampening materials, five high-quality fans, and the built-in hub don’t come cheap, making the P10 Flux really impressive value for money.

Overview

I love what Antec has done here, and it reminds me of the old Antec Three Hundred, which I remember buying with a pre-installed noise dampening kit. It’s just a simple, solid, and versatile case with no fuss and no mess. That being said, it’s not hard to love the P10 Flux, given that 90% of it is the same as the DF700 FLUX I reviewed a few weeks ago. That’s the exact same interior design, but it has RGB and windows, so it’s good to see Antec offering a reliable design in different flavours.

Hardware

It’s not the biggest case in its class, but it still supports decent sized hardware. Some of the biggest Noctua coolers may not fit, but plenty others will, such as the U12 series. Furthermore, Antec has equipped this case with some of the best quality air filters I’ve seen in a long time. The front panel filter is excellent, and most brands sort-of just put there’s on the front, leaving air gaps everywhere (I’m looking at you NZXT!). This one fits into a tight recess, ensuring no excess dust sneaks past it.

Plus, you get 5 very nice quality fans, three in the front, one in the rear, and that trick reverse-fan on the PSU shroud. Airflow really isn’t an issue here. Plus with noise dampening materials, and that additional side panel air vent, you can run more fans at lower RPM, giving you great cooling and low noise.

Should I Buy One?

I normally dive in a little more with cases, but honestly, I don’t feel the need. Antec has played this by the numbers. You’ve got good build quality, a built-in PSU shroud, solid cable routing options, excellent cooling potential with room to expand, and a mixture of high-airflow and low-noise. Really, it’s about one of the best cases I’ve seen in a long time. It’s not flashy, it doesn’t show off, it’s not RGB, and it’s not even that expensive, but it will get the job done and I’d happily have one under my desk.
