Antec P20CE Mid-Tower E-ATX Gaming Case Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The Antec P20CE Mid-Tower E-ATX Gaming Case is available now for just £111.16 on Amazon, that’s a pretty standard price now for a good quality mid-tower, and with the level of features, build quality and the overall design on offer, I think it is right on the money! However, it is also available with a tempered glass window if you want to show off your build. Furthermore, Antec sells several versions of their riser cables, and you can check their prices here.

Overview

There’s nothing about the Antec P20CE that I don’t love, and while admittedly it’s a pretty safe case design in terms of layout, it does everything you would expect from a modern high-end PC gaming case, and it even costs about what you would expect too. However, it’s the overall presentation, choice of materials, and build quality that allows it to stand out from the crowd.

The star of the show has to be their new front panel design. With a full metal front panel mesh, which comes with a gorgeous perforated design, it’s going to allow a huge amount of airflow into your case with ease. Plus, it looks great, and it feels robust. If you’re tired of flimsy front panel plastics, this is a step in the right direction.

It takes airflow seriously too, with three powerful and quiet 120mm fans in the front as standard. There’s room for additional fans in the top, rear, and even two on the internal PSU shroud to better direct airflow throughout the system. Of course, there are high-quality dust filters throughout too, which is always great to see.

Hardware support scores top marks too, with room for an E-ATX motherboard, the largest new graphics cards on the market, tall CPU air coolers, or larger radiators throughout the case. There’s a decent amount of room for storage too, with 2 x 3.5″ and 2 x 2.5″ drives supported. Furthermore, the push-fit mounts for the SSDs are a nice new feature I’ve never seen before. Plus, it has native support for vertical GPU mounts thanks to the bridgeless expansion slot covers in the rear of the case.

Should I Buy One?

If you’re building a high-end gaming PC that needs a stylish, well-built and robust PC case, the Antec P20CE has a lot to offer. Plus, while it is available with a side panel window, I honestly think this solid side panel version is a breath of fresh air. It’s stronger, more soundproof and more stealthy in a market that is already full of tempered glass and RGB cases that frankly are starting to all look alike. Antecs’ metal front panel with that little touch of colour down the left side has a touch of class.
