Antec P100 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Antec P100 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This is a very good case for the money. I also got a $20 rebate. Doesn't get much better than this. This sound proofing is very effective.

Cons: None

Pros: Plenty of drive bays and great insulating sound features. Holds 2.5"/3.5" HDs on the same mounts. Very well designed for wire management. Plenty of extra fan space if needed. Video cards won't interfere with hard drives space.

Cons: None that I saw.

Other Thoughts: I've always like using Antec cases and have 4 systems using older model cases. Wouldn't mind updating the image processing and telescope cases with this model. Those were the older P300 cases.

Pros: Very cheap. Didn't get it from newegg (Fry's Electronics) but with rebate it was only $25. Very easy to install all the parts and it has plenty of room. 7 freaking drive bays! very sleek design and great filters

Cons: The front audio and mic ports both fell off the enclosure into the space above the drive bays. I can't snap them back into place and are now unusable unless I pull them out the side of the case. The right-most usb 2.0 doesn't transfer data, only power over the usb. the rest still work

Other Thoughts: Great case for the price but it seemed a little poorly made. Gonna stick with it for a long time.

Pros: * Quiet
* Great cooling potential (if you add fans)
* Solid build quality
* Accomodates large GPU's and cpu coolers
* Accomodates water cooling
* Lots of hard drive space
* Elegant looks
* Excellent wire management
* Decent fan filters

Cons: * Only comes with 2 fans
* Stock cooling mediocre
* Front door a bit flimsy
* MSRP is a bit high compared to competition

Other Thoughts: I decided on the P100 to replace my son's old Antec 300. We wanted something that would accommodate his large new Asus DCII R9 290 graphics card, provide ample cooling while staying pretty quiet. The Antec P100 fits the bill and then some.

First, the dimensions are great for a mid size case. Plenty of room in the inside for large GPU's and to work around the motherboard and not feel squeezed. There is room for a 240mm water cooler up top, I test fit my CM Glacer 240L and it fit perfectly. The case can also accommodate tall cpu coolers and easily had tons of room for my Hyper 212. There is excellent routing for wires behind the motherboard tray. The included fans are quiet at both speeds, my only complaint is that there are only two of them and stock cooling with them is mediocre at best. Thankfully there is plenty of room for more and I added 2x140mm corsairs up front, moved the fans that came with the case to the 2 spots on top and added a Corsair 120mm to the back. With these in place the case was still dead silent at idle and offered ample cooling keeping the power hungry overclocked R9 290 to only 65C when 100% loaded playing Far Cry 4 on Ultra settings.

There are tons of hard drive trays and they have nice silicone bushings to keep rattling away. The slot in easily and snap in place with a nice and solid "clack". Also, the front fan filters are of nice quality and easily cleaned. The front door is mostly plastic and feels a little flimsy, so some care may be needed to make sure it is not damaged. The side doors have sound deadening material attached, which really does help. The top has deadening as well, but I removed the panels so I could replace them with top exhaust fans.

The case offers 4 front USB ports, 2 of which are USB 3.0, but if you have a older motherboard and do not have one of the new USB 3.0 headers, the cord has a built in adapter to plug into a normal 2.0 header! My only real wiring complaint is that the individual wires for the power button, LED, reset, etc should be wrapped together in a single cord. They all plug in near the same place on every motherboard known to man, why are they loose like that?

In the end, I am very pleased with this case. I got it for $59 after rebate and for that price it is a steal. At the normal $89 MSRP, there are some solid alternatives out there, but the Antec P100 absolutely deserves at least a look.

Pros: The manufacturing quality of the case is exceptional, except for the plastic from cover. The metal construction is great with no sharp edges (a sign of cheaper cases IMHO). The fit is perfect and the interior very roomy even for a large CPU cooler.

Cons: Front plastic door is my only disappointment though not enough to deduct an Egg.

Other Thoughts: Motherboard, disk drives, optical drives, graphics card CPU and cooler all fit perfectly.

Newegg delivery rocks !!!

Pros: Lots of space
Great cable management
Quiet
Lightweight
Easy to clean

Cons: The walls can be easily bent. Shipper bent one of the rear panels. Was able to bend it back into shape though.

Other Thoughts: Great case. Will definitely buy another one if needed.

Pros: There are lots of things I like about the case. The front face is very nice looking with the dark sleek brushed aluminum. Plenty of space on the inside for hard-drives and wire routing, etc. It is also acceptably quiet.

Cons: When the case arrived in the main I noticed something rattling around inside the case. I opened it up to find the fan mounted in the rear had fallen apart. The bladed part was completely detached from the rest of the fan housing. It went back on fairly easily and to my surprise was very quiet. The front fan however, makes a very quiet ticking sound. Because of this I am running the front fan on the low speed. The rear fan can run at full speed and is still very quiet, but the front fan on high becomes quite noisy. I may replace it with a different fan.

Another thing I noticed was the cheap feeling quality of the case. The sheet metal feels very thin and the removable fan filters fall off very easily.

Because of these two reasons, I am taking one egg off, but overall I feel this is a very good looking case and still worth the price.

Pros: Case is great. Love the ability to easily route cable. Cable management dream. Everything was a cinch to set up.

Cons: Filter on the bottom is a bit flimsy, but what more can u ask for!

Other Thoughts: Definitely recommend a buy if your looking at this case.

Pros: Great size. Able to get a z87x motherboard inside with plenty of room for cable management (lots of holes to route to the side of the case) runs quiet. My fans were preinstalled but they were put in the front and the back and none on top. Will probably add one but haven't needed to. Very pretty and nice looking. This was my first build.

Cons: None noted yet.

Other Thoughts: I'm thinking I'd like to install a card reader slot and 2 DVD Rom readers but you could not do that with this case but that is not a con. I knew that when I bought it and hadn't thought my build through all the way

Pros: If you prefer the clean look. This is the perfect case for you. The front door is secured via a magnet and has a filter as per norm. as well as a small vent on the bottom of the door to allow plenty of air. The case has lots of room on the side panel for cable management and lots of room for after market cooling. I personally have a stock Asus mobo that came from the Asus branded PC I bought at a local retailer. I wanted more options and opted to get this case. Everything fit well and now I am running i7 3770, with Corsair H50 water cooling. GTX 760 ti and all was simple to install with the great hole placements.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Other Thoughts: Great case.
