Antec P82 Flow Mid-Tower PC Case Review

Complete System

The P82 Flow is a pretty simple design for a PC case, but it certainly gets the job done well. There’s loads of room in here for our hardware. More than Antec thought, actually. I dropped in an E-ATX motherboard easily enough, the extra width took the motherboard right up to the cable management holes. However, you know the rules, if it fits, it fits.

The PSU shroud is fantastic, as it hides the PSU (obviously) but also all the of excess cables you don’t want people to see. Furthermore, it’ll hide a couple of hard drives too, leaving more room in the front of the case for cooling, graphics cards and other fun stuff.

The Gigabyte RTX 2080 Ti is a big beast of a card, but again, it’s got plenty of room to breathe in here. Plus, with that wall of 140mm fans blowing into the back of it, keeping it cool shouldn’t be an issue at all.

The same goes for the massive Noctua NH-D15S I’m using. It’s a huge cooler, but it fits with plenty of room to spare. Plus, the additional 140mm at the back pulls warm air straight out of the system.

Plus, if you wanted, there still room for a row of fan in the top of the case. However, you could also opt for a 120/140mm radiator in the back, a 280/360mm in the top for liquid cooling.

Plus, the front of the case will support 3 x 120mm or 3 x 140mm fans and up to a 360/420mm radiator. So, even with the strong airflow performance, it could be liquid cooled pretty well too.

With all the panels back in place, you really do get a bold view of the interior. That glass is very clear, so having a neat and tidy system will be important.

If we dim the lights a little though, it blends in well, and any LED lighting you have within the case will have a strong contrast.
