Antec P100 Mid-Tower Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 10 years ago
Complete System
Total build time on the P100 was a breezy 20 minutes, everything installed with ease and overall the chassis is very beginner friendly. Of course build time will increase with a more complicated build, but all the basic stuff was easy to work with. The build looks really neat and tidy and the cable routing options are working perfectly. There is loads of room behind the motherboard, even with a fully saturated system you shouldn’t have any issue getting the right side panel back in place.
I’ve chosen to install the 120mm Corsair H80i cooler in the back, it seemed a waste to open up the top panel, defeating much of the sound proofing intentions of the chassis design. However, I do appreciate that Antec gives users the option to upgrade their cooling should they need to, but those who don’t need it can leave those top fan mounts closed up.
The hard drive bays were simple enough and there is plenty of clearance between the left side of the bays and the back of our GPU. This leaves lots of room for airflow and of course, longer expansion cards.
All panels back in place and you would be easily fooled to think I’d just taken the chassis out of its box. You can’t see anything and the case is closed up nice and tight. Those who want a clean-looking build both inside and out will love the P100.
