Antec Performance Series P100 Mid-Tower Silence PC Computer Case with 9 Tool-Free Drive Bays, USB 3.0/2.0, Rear Water Cooling, 120/140mm Fan and CPU Cutout ATX/M-ATX/Mini-ITX Support

Can't say I'm an expert - this is my third build. I used the P-100 for a dedicated FreeNAS box, and it worked great.Pro: inexpensive, lots of fan space, filters on the intake fans, lots of drive space, good cable management, conservatively attractive, decent downloadable docos, extremely quiet.Cons: the drive sled mounting screws are too long for some drives, my WD Red drives for instance. Leaves the drives not securely mounted to the silicon vibration eliminator things. I could go out and get some better sized screws, but I don't feel the need.Overall, it's a beast. I'm very happy with it.

Overall this is a great case for the price. It has basic versions of all the features you'd find in a $150+ case, for half the price.PROS:This case is great for the price, I can't really complain. Its lighter weight and thinner materials than the P180/P280 series cases (I've had 2 different P180s), but still a good layout overall and has plenty of room for cable management, drive bays, etc. Nice to have easy cable-tie locations on the backplate and plenty of routing holes. With 6 fans inside (2 for the chassis, 2 for watercooler, and 2 for GTX 1070) even running GTA V (i5-6600k, 16GB RAM, SSD drive), the whole system is still very quiet. Honestly the 3 spinning drives make more noise than the rest of the fans/component. Before I added the spinning drives and just had an SSD, the thing was virtually silent.Regarding watercooling: PCPartPicker says this case doesn't fit a Corsair H100i but I can confirm it DOES fit a H100i GTX/v2, with room to spare. The top grills could hold an even large radiator, the H100i v2 radiator doesnt even fill the grills. Only issue with the case design when using an H100i is if you had a SATA DVD drive in the top bay, it might be difficult to plug in the power/sata cables because the radiator hoses come right up to the drive. This could depend how physically long/deep your SATA drive is.CONS:No physical divider between PSU and rest of case (does this matter anymore? IDK), I guess so they could fit more identical drive bays. Speaking of drive bays, there are a ton, which is perfect for a NAS unit or a serious data hoarder, but for a regular gamer its way too many drives and honestly wasted space. The foam on the inner walls isn't very thick or dense, but should provide mild sound and resonance dampening, just not anything close to the quality or density of the P180/P280. My biggest gripe is petty, but that the door is very flimsy, they should have used a heavier material even a smoother hinge just so it didn't wobble and fly around loosely. Also the P180/P280 cases put the case fan switch controls consolidated into 1 location on the outside of the case, but the P100 just has a little cable pigtail with a speed control. Doesn't really matter since when connected to the motherboard I can just control the fans with software. Other minor gripe: the rubber ports for cable management in the backplate don't stay in place very well.

Excellent case! It is well constructed and has lots of room. I love the cable management features, especially the spacious back cavity so that cables can be routed behind the motherboard. There is actually enough room for ALL the cables to be routed behind the board. It has 5 fan slots (4x 120/140mm and 1x 120mm), so cooling is not an issue. Enough clearance internally for a CM Hyper 212 Evo and more bays than I will ever need. Construction quality is very good, it is a solid case without being overly heavy. The sides and top come with extra sound insulation, so it is a very quiet case. Altogether, a great performer with an understated look. Highly recommended.

I was really looking forward to building my new system in this box. Unfortunately, I ran into several compatibility issues and defective (noisy) fans with my build. I spent so much time on it that I don't have the patience to rebuild my system with another case. Several of the reviews pointed out some of the downsides so I knew what I was getting into. However, some were understated and I ran into a few more.Things I liked:1. Clean simple look from the front.2. Insulation is nice; but you end up removing the top insulation for a radiator. For the cost it is just cheap foam, and I would have preferred something more substantial like DynoMat.3. I like their approach to the drive pays, drive mounting (SSD 3.5 ready), and ALL cable routing channelsThings I didn't like1. The gaskets come out WAY too easily. I read about this, and it was worse than I expected.2. The side covers don't stay in until you add the screws. My build ended up with some tension on them, and they were a pain to put back on. They need more guides, and the back us under-designed even compared to a typical Dell case.3. The front fan mounts for the 140mm's should have been pre-drilled for all 4 screws. The opposite tension "taco's" the fan a bit. I went very light on the tension and had to add some tape on the opposite corners to stabilize them more.4. I was really hoping the door would be reversible so that it opens on the right instead of the left; minor.5. I CAN'T STAND THEIR RESET AND POWER BUTTONS! They have no tactile feel, and they don't have any indents you can identify by touch if you're in the dark. I actually didn't even wire the reset button because I'll just 7-second before I did that, and I haven't do that in several years (knock on wood.)6. The main PCIE screws are old-style standard chrome one's. Rosewell puts nice black knurled screws on theirs.I read great things about Antec. My prior build was with a Rosewell, and I think those are a much better value. I really don't mind spending a little more for a nice case since my system sits on my desk in view; and for easy easy access. I also swap out drives often, and will need to put a hot-swap 5.5" bay in so that I don't have to mess with the side panel; which usually isn't a big deal for me with my Rosewell case.It is a decent case, but not compared to the competition.

boitier acheté y a quelque mois et j'en suis contentMais avec 7 disque a l’intérieur ça a tendance a chaufferdonc je désactive les disque qui ne me serve pas ou très peuJe les réactives qu'en j'en est besoinça dépend aussi de la puissance des ventilateurs que l'onrajoute vaut mieux installer des ventilo un peu chère mais qui fasse leur boulotmais en gros ce boitier est très bien penséet j'en suis très content

このケースは良くできています。ただし少し寸法が大きめです。特に高さがやや高いので今までの場所に入るかどうかの検討が必要です。私は入らなかったのですが下側に台を置いていましたので、この台を作り直しました。今は快適に使用しています。

This is exactly what I was looking for in a PC case. Sturdy, Stylish, Simple, with many extras like Dust Filters, Screw in back plates (no more twisty excess metal) , quiet Fans with a Speed Controller, 4 USB at front of the case, lots of room for wires to be hidden in the back, Sleak door on the front with 270 degree of OPEN. Kind of looks like a mini fridge front on, which means it has charm.Would I get another one.....No I have this one! Would I recommend it, YES! its a solid simple case.Love it.

Esta caja de ordenador ha sido una gran compra. Los ventiladores que viene (frontal y trasero) son silenciosos y además tiene un switch regulador donde puedes elegir velocidad baja y alta. Por dentro viene acolchada por lo que reduce el ruido que pueda producir la gráfica. Tiene bastantes opciones para poner más ventiladores y muchos encajes para discos ya sean de 2.5" o de 3.5". Los puertos usb frontales están en la parte de arriba lo que produce que puedas dejar los objetos que conectes por cable usb cómodamente apoyados en la parte superior. Si lo que buscas es usar poco espacio físico, no la recomiendo, ya que es bastante grande, pero para lo que yo la quería me viene genial. No estoy nada descontento con esta compra.

Ich habe mir dieses Gehäuse für einen Homeserver gekauft.Eingebaut ist:Intel DH87RLIntel i5 4570Noctua NH-U14S16GB RAM1x SSD3x Festplatten (WD-Red, WD-RE, WD-Blue)2x Noctua NF-S12A1x Noctua NF-S12A PWMDas Gehäuse ist sehr gut verarbeitet, hat keine scharfen Kanten und ist durchdacht. Vorher hatte ich ein Gehäuse von einem anderen Hersteller.Die Festplatten auf einem Gummipuffer gelagert und erzeugen im Gegensatz zum vorherigen Gehäuse fast keine Geräusche mehr.Das Netzteil ist im unteren Bereich montiert und saugt die Luft unter dem Gehäuse an. Somit erwärmt das Netzteil nicht die anderen Komponenten.Für die Kühlung der Festplatten habe ich 2x 120mm Lüfter von Noctua in der Front verbaut. An der Rückseite ist ebenfalls ein 120mm Noctua Lüfter mit PWM montiert. Die vorhandenen Antec-Lüfter wurden nur demontiert, da sie einen geringeren Luftstrom als die Noctua haben. Die Antec-Lüfter wurden mit einer Lüftersteuerung für High/Low Betrieb per Dip-Schalter geliefert.Die Befestigung der Noctua Lüfter an der Front funktioniert nicht mit den Gummipuffern, da die Schrauben von Antec zu kurz sind. Es handelt sich hier um M3 Schrauben, welche man länger im Baumarkt kaufen kann.Das Gehäuse hat stabile Gummifüße, die alle Vibrationen zum Boden abfangen.Die Festplatteneinschübe sind gut gestaltet und bieten die Möglichkeit einer schnellen Demontage oder Verlegung der einzelnen Platten.Das Kabelmanagement erlaubt es, alle Kabel hinter Zwischenwand zu verstauen und den Luftstrom freizuhalten. Die Gummidurchführungen können sich leicht lösen, sind aber ebenfalls wieder einfach zu montieren.Die Öffnung für die Deckenlüfter sind mit einer Dämmmatte verschlossen. Ebenfalls sind die Gehäusewände gedämmt.
