Antec P160 Review

Dom · May 18, 2004, 12:05 AM

EnvyNews has put up their review of an Antec P160...a very good case with nice aesthetics...

"Antec’s cases have been favourites among the enthusiast community for years. Their call to fame is quality construction, nifty and well-thought out extras, and the inclusion of great power supplies and fans. Antec were among the first to feature cases without any sharp edges to prevent against annoying cuts when playing with your PCs interior. And who can forget their awesome drive rails. These items are legendary among the community as once you have the pleasure of working with them, you’ll be hard pressed to ever go back to the standard drive-securing manner with screws."

Yessir, got one of these a little bit ago and is a fairly damn good case.... I think maybe a bit pricey... so keep your lids peeled 4 the deals of the day....hehehe paid 110 total 4 mine....

Anyways, I put in an extra 120mm fan directely behind my zalman ps to help keep it cooler since this is the main source of my residual heat in the case.... Otherwise....Love having the room 2 work around, was only concerned about my raptors sata cables having to 90 degree .. they could have moved the whole hdd cage a little closer the other side to allow 4 more room especially since they turned the rails the way they did.... ahh well life ani't perfect.......9.5/10

Yeah, P160 seems to be my next case. It also seems that I will want to remove the HD cage and relocate it farther back in the case.

The location of the drive rails would make it awkard to fit my watercooling without some fairly extensive modification from what I can tell. At the moment I'm gonna stick with my Antec plus view AMG case from which the P160 was spawned (I think).

But I can't deny I want one of these.

Very nice case, Antec does some very good and quality products. I have an Antec plus view 1000 AMG myself, besides that it's heavy like a tractor it's a very nice case, plenty of cooling too keep it cool.
