Antec P6
As one of the most well-known names in the Chassis market, it’s likely most of you have owned an Antec chassis at one time or another. Their performance series has long been a fan favourite, and with a focus on plentiful features and affordable prices, it’s easy to see why. Their new P6 edition continues that trend, offering up a PSU shroud, tempered glass window, LED fan, dust filters, and even a logo projector. What’s most impressive is that you’ll get change from £60, so I’m eager to see just how much you really get for such a small price.

What Antec Had to Say
“The P6 embodies the essence of the Performance series by Antec, available now in a compact form that fits any environment. Characterised by the clean silhouette, tempered glass side window and the elegant finish, the P6 is appointed with the features that ensure an efficient build with no wasted space. The 4mm tempered glass panel makes it easy to show off your build.” – Antec
Hi Peter, thanks for your detailed review. I’ve got a couple of questions that I’m hoping you’ve got answers to:
1. If you wanted to fit 2x120mm/140mm fans between the front cover and the chassis shell, so that I can fit just a 240mm/280mm AIO before the PSU shroud, could you? This is because most radiator+fan thicknesses exceed the specified 55mm, and I thought sticking the fans on the outside might be doable, since there is a bit of a ‘well’ for the fans to sit in, no?
and
2. Since there is the option to fit 3x120mm or 2x140mm fans up top, why wouldn’t it be feasible to fit a 240mm/280mm AIO, seeing as there shouldn’t be any chance of interfering with the rear 120mm fan, and there aren’t any 5.25″ bays to hamper such installation? The only reason I can think of is that any radiator would collide with the top of any mobo VRM heatsinks.
Sorry to trouble you, but I’ve reached out to Antec a couple of times, and not heard a word back, sooo…
