Antec P120 Crystal Mid-Tower PC Case Review

The Antec P120 Crystal is in my office at last, and while Andy had a good go at it last year in this fantastic time-lapse video (open here or watch below), I never got to take a look myself. Designed to be a blend of everything modern in the PC case market, with a few old-school hints thrown in, the P120 Crystal seems to offer a lot of cooling features for the enthusiast PC building market. It’s also affordable, coming in at under £100, but that’s also because it doesn’t come with any fans as standard, this is a little more bare-bones than most.

No fans? Fear not! That’s the point, as why have a bunch of stock fans if you’re just going to rip them out for a radiator, or a bank of custom RGB ones, or some quiet Noctua fans? You do get two sides of tempered glass, tool-free opening doors, big dust filters, vertical and horizontal expansion slots, loads of cable routing space and much more though. There’s no doubt the P120 Crystal can handle some serious hardware, so let’s dive in for a closer look!

• Classic, but Way Better – Antec P120 Crystal follows the minimalist design of the Performance Series and brings it to the next level. Featuring front and side tempered glass panels, P120 Crystal affords a panoramic view of your well-planned PC setup and custom water-cooling loop.
• Slide It, Swing It – Say goodbye to thumbscrews. P120 Crystal comes with an industry-leading slide button design on the tempered glass side panel.
• Up to the Top – The top-mounted PSU chamber frees the space at the bottom of P120 Crystal, allowing users to have more options to plan their custom water-cooling loop and radiators.
• Unparalleled Scalability – P120 Crystal comes with 7 x horizontal and 3 x vertical expansion slots, offering huge space for you to explore more potential PC configurations.
• Aluminium VGA Holder – The inbuilt aluminium VGA holder is flexible, providing plenty of possible positions for the graphics card. 
• Go Beyond Performance – Supports up to 7 x 120 mm or 6 x 140 mm fans, also crafted to mount 2 x 360 mm radiators simultaneously.
