To produce this more affordable version of the P280, Antec has made several changes resulting in a lower cost but also lower quality tower. The P100 is thinner all around, the door is plastic, the buttons cheaper, and the dampening sheets are less dense...
Well-priced in Europe, Excellent frame-construction quality, Easy access to fans in the front, Support for up to a 280 mm radiator in the ceiling, Covered fan opening in the top, I/O accessible regardless of door position, Two fans with speed switches, Lo
Expensive in the US (unless on sale), Fan-speed switches not accessible from the outside, Front door plastic is a bit soft, Power and reset switch look and feel identical, No thumbscrews on expansion slots, Silver screws instead of all-black ones
The Antec P100 ships for a mere 70 euro incl. taxes or 90 US dollars excl. them. As such, the chassis is considerably more expensive in the US than the EU, which is odd given their current exchange rates. Interestingly enough, Amazon is selling the chassi...
The Antec P100 is a high quality, sturdy case with many build options. The more than adequate space for a mid tower was impressive. I was very happy with the cable management options, and the number of rubber grommets for custom water, or custom wiring. T...

Only Two PreInstalled Fans, Front Door Quality
The P100 may be many steps beneath its larger brother the P280 both in terms of interior space and features but that doesn't mean it can't hold its own. For once thanks to the thick SECC steel used and the noise-absorbing coating the P100 is one of the mo...

Inexpensive front door, An extra intake fan may be needed for thermal management
Antec P100 Final Thoughts The overall system build using the P100 went very smoothly with absolutely no surprises. Antec has obviously considered low acoustic output as a priority in the design of this case, as the most noticeable feature of the enclos...
Abstract: The Antec P100 Case is stylish, comes with 120mm fans, fan filters, has watercooling potential, up to 7 drives can be installed and acoustic dampening material. This would be a great case for a quiet computer build....
Antec may have been strangers to the pages of OC3D of late, but they are no strangers to PC case manufacturing. An aimless amble through their website will leave you in awe of the sheer number of cases they produce, and that's before you even look at som...

Tools needed
This is a very nice case that you can pick up for less than 60$. It has the necessary features to rank as a good case and I found no real flaws anywhere with it more than that you need a screwdriver to mount HDD´s and add-on cards. Overall, I like it ...

Abstract: Not so long ago, you only had a handful of options if you were looking for a silent case. Luckily, things have changed in 2015. Hardware.Info tested no less than 20 silent cases for this review, and compared them to four of the classics. Which case stri...
