Hearing the name Antec makes me nostalgic for my early days in PC building. The Antec 900 and P180 were the gold standard when they came out for airflow and low noise respectively. This seems like the first promising case release from them in a long time. I appreciate that they didn't just make a glass box with zero airflow like most cases from 2014 - 2018.
Yep, and I still have their case circa 2004. Was way advanced for the time without breaking the bank. Sadly, gpu length retired the case. Now my 2009 case is being retired (Silverstone) due to gpu length as well.
cool video ,, i bought this case ,,I LOVE THE BUILD ,, love the lighted ssds on the back ,, ,, best looking case ,, great cable management ,, lot of reviews online gave this case 99% out 100%,, i have used a lot of antec cases over the years,,, and antec power suppys
Bitwit just reviewed this case as well. I wonder, did Antec do a publicity blitz? Hmmm...I wonder if JayzTwoCents has a build review? I've only had my Phanteks case for a year, and I really like it. But these new cases have me itching to move my components into a newer home already. Both you and Bitwit gave this case positive reviews. And the price is right, too!
i really like this. i have a full tower NZXT H440. completely right with the rear fan. i have a 140 in the rear but there is not room for cable management, its very tight. i would give up a drop to 120 rear just to have a bit more space to run cables
Ahh Greg you're so young! Back in MY day, which was about 12 years before your day, Antec was TOP tier. I can't tell you how many builds back in the 2007-2012 era used the 300-900-1200 models.
Antec back in the day was famous for solid budget eco PowerSuplies, that green line up, amazin powersuplies. I really like what they are doing with their cases!
I love what you did with the RGB. It looks really sharp. Antec seems to be back on track. I like many of their new cases. This one, the C8 and the P20C are fighting it out on my short list.
Greg is the worlds best salesman, only person who can persuade me to buy a new case or any item happily, I bought my Antec DP503 from one of Greg's sponsored videos too, case is an absolute beast!
I bought an Antec 900 case like 16 years ago, and I was using it until 2 years ago. It had flaws with the top panel and the power button/usb/audio jacks breaking, but it was a great case, I changed out of it 2 years ago because the power button finally broke where I was not able to fix it. Removing the top panel was a serious pain in the keister, but they over the years have seemed to resolve a lot of those issues. I don't know if the 1 FT Case has Front mount brackets for things like DVD/CD drives or for a multi interface (memory card type reader).
I did my 1st full build and used the DF700 with its 3 front fans, rear extractor fans and a reverse fan on the GPU. Brought temperatures on CPU and GPU way down 😁
I love Antec's current cases. I myself use an Antec DF600 for my main and it's my favorite case I've ever owned, but this 1 FT looks awesome too. I might have to consider picking one of these up.
I bought an Antec Full Tower with soundproof panels for my NAS build which was with an ITX board and an i7 processor. Boy, did it look weird but I can get up to 26 3.5-inch hard drives in the case so it worked out great. I was also able to put in a DVD drive so I could burn my DVD collection directly to my NAS. It turned out very nice and really, really quiet. I put it in my upstairs office and you don't even notice it even when running and updating. It transcodes so much faster than my TerraMaster 4 bay and will not need to be updated for quite a while.
A friend of mine many years (around 1997 or so) ago gave me his Antec full tower case and it was 3 feet tall. Ginormous. But it had a hinged and detachable steel motherboard tray. Grab the latch, push to front of the case to move the tray forward enough to clear the I/O plate, and the top of the motherboard tray would fold down and lay flat on the desk. Lift up on the bottom of the tray to detach it from the rocker hinge. Made installing motherboards, swapping parts, cleaning CPU fans a cinch. PSU mounted at the top of case and left a foot of room from the bottom of the PSU to the top of an ATX motherboard. After installing CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and hard drives, you had 6 inches of room at the top front to figure 8 and ziptie the PSU cables. Hoopty heavy bastard, but I miss it sometimes. 😅
I love that case so much i got 2. One for my PC of Theseus that started out as a B350 board with a 1700X and GTX 1080 and ended up a B550 board with a 5800X3D (with the same RAM as the first upgrade in 2018) and a Radeon 7900 XT, and again for a new PC (as the previous one went to my kid) and i built a new PC with a 7800X3D and a 7900 XTX.
My Cooler Master H500P mesh with the top removed while gaming is perfect for me and will be for a long time. 360 AIO up top exhausting without any obstruction and wide enough to fit the 4090 with a cable not bending too much, basement crap removed to let air flow straight to the gpu and no annoying front dust filter as it's built into the front mesh so I just vacuum the front panel as is. Super simple maintenance and great airflow.
The built-in temperature monitor is a really nice touch. The case looks super classy and easy to build in. Front panel aesthetics look a bit dated. Nice work again, Mr. Greg.
Amazing build, could even throw some M.2s in there in addition to the SSDs as well if you wanted. Love the look of the all black or white LEDs. GREAT VIDEO!
Hi Greg I like the case. I am a big case person mostly for the comfortable building aspect of it and air flow / cooling. This looks like a winner to me. By the way I like your channel. I never miss an episode.
I really wish modern cases still came with a single 5.25" bay. Not because I want to mount a drive, but I could actually use about six front panel USB ports to delete the hub I'm using, and a 5.25" bay is perfect for mounting a front panel hub with a ridiculous number of ports.
At the risk of putting a hyundai engine in a maserati body, I purchased one of these for my old MSI Z270-A Pro i7 7700K. Amazing having all this room to work with. Now to save up for the maserati engine. :D
My early builds were Antec cases. Later on I switched to Corsair cases. I like what you did here. My current setup is starting to get long in the tooth. I'm starting to get the wander lust feeling again. I may simply reproduce the system you built here. Nice simple instructions and a simple build. I've never used a water-cooled system before though but this setup looks like a breeze.
I was thinking of getting the Corsair 5000D Airflow but this case is far more beautiful and highly more functional and less tint on the glass has me sold.
I went with the tomahawk z790 e-atx, i7-13000k with a msi subprime Rtx 4080. I place my AIO on top but there is much more room with the Cooler tubes coming of the front because you can slide the radiator really far back as there is enough clearance between the rear 120 fan and the radiator.
I have pretty much had all sizes of tower. My second PC was probably a mid sized one, my third a small form factor one and my current one a full sized (just for the record my first PC was an old Dell office one running W98SE, and was a proper old school case that you laid on a table with a 2.5 inch floppy drive & CD and had the monitor on top). While I am limited on space (especially since I upgraded my monitor to a 32inch), I prefer my full tower over any of the cases I had before. Just looks better even though it isn't fancy (no tempered glass or LEDs unless you include the red fanlights)
Looks like a big case. I really would have loved to have this case option before I went out and got the Corsair 5000D. (The 5000D has issues that make building in it a lot harder than you think.)
I have that case, it can be a pain for sure especially if you have 6 fans running from the front. I found taking out the two cable trays gives you a decent amount of room to work in
My issue with 5000D is the lack if included fans. It gives you only 2 120 mm fans (for airflow versions), which means you gotta shell out a lot more to get extra fans...
@@sinakhodaie Sadly most cases don't come with fans, especially for how much they charge for it. But as for fans though you can get decent ones for pretty cheap. I bought 2 sets of Asiahorse FS-9002 (10 fans) that work great
@@sinakhodaie If you're really gonna build a custom system you probably would never use what they included with the case anyways. The 1000D comes with no fans for that same reason!
@CareyHolzman swears by the Corsair 200R, but he builds PC's for business and not concerned with RGB and fancy stuff....just builds functional, reliable PCs.
This looks like a well designed case. The only thing I don't like is the glass back panel, which in having necessitates the need for additional metal panels underneath to hid the wiring. Just put a metal back panel on, and be done with it. That said I could definitely see myself building in this case. I have an Antec P101 Silent that houses my home server. If the build quality of this case is as good as the P101 then it's a solid purchase.
honestly glad Antec is back in business with this case, looks great. way back, I have had antec cases and PSUs - they were good - then Antec brand sorta "went hiding"
doesn't look like a full tower. My corsair 5000D looks the same size. looking at the measurements the 5000D airflow which is a mid tower has similar measurements... Antec - 522 x 230 x 522 mm Corsair - 520 x 245 x 520. The corsair 5000D airflow is considerably wider by only being 2mm shorter. They could have easily named this a mid tower. I think some people might be disappointed if they dont actually check the measurements.
Mid-towers typically have 7 PCIe slots at the rear. A full-tower has 8+. That's all it takes. And as we mentioned multiple times here, the _point_ of this chassis was for it to be as compact as you could reasonably get a full-tower to be. There are plenty of larger case options on the market if that is what you desire :-)
Performance 1 is not a HUGE full tower as we thought, but it is the compact one and enough room for building, dual 360 radiator or one 420, eatx motherboard, supreme gpu supported and great cable management. Antec did a good job this time.
Only thing I've would have wanted to see was perhaps two 120mm fans in the bottom pulling in air. Using the 3 140mm infront as intake and bottom the same and top and back as outtake.
I'm going to use this case with a CORSAIR RM850x Shift PSU. I wanted to buy an Antec PSU but after comparing them with the new Corsair PSUs the decision was easy.
Very nice also I think that was a wise decision to hook up the 2 / 6 pin or 8 pin connectors on the top left before doing the AIO. I hate these pins very much Please I have a question I want to buy the same case So did you remove the top mesh duster thing? Or did you put it back? After installing the AIO ? Thank you
I have this case in white. I was really hoping to turn the power supply upside down rather than have it pull air off the floor. The bracket that holds the power supply in place does not allow for that. Do you know if antec makes a bracket to turn the power supply upside down? Is there something I'm missing in the process with the original bracket?
I have an antec dp503 and this one has the same issue as mine does, the problem with those "fine mesh" front panels is they dont really stop dust terribly well in the long term.
It is a nice case, Though there seems to ve an overarching desire by so many cases these days to be able to see into them. Personally, I prefer performance, which means, can you hide it and have it both super quiet and powerful? It would almost be interesting to build a silent desk type PC that maybe even uses a server draw style to hold the components... But silence and dark is good if you want to fully focus on your game you are playing...
Was that the BIOS screen showing the temperatures. I liked the animated fans spinning. I'm going to update my build soon and was looking at this case and MSI's 700r. I'm leaning towards a full MSI build.
This case is looking sharp. Kinda familiar with the Fractal Torrent except that it doesn't have a top mounted PSU which I like because in the Torrent you can't top mount a 360 radiator.
I really love the design of the case; both cosmetically and functionally. My only personal gripe is the lack of option for an optical drive. I use a Blu-ray burner to make redundant back-ups of my DSLR photos and photo edits. And while I know I could use an external one, I don't think it would look as clean plus it would block the top fans a bit.
I hate to admit but this seems to improve upon what my Fractal Torrent has going on. I too never really considered Antec too seriously before. This has me very intrigued. It looks great and builder friendly
I wonder if the case fits push pull radiator setup. I'd still need to stick my CLC280 in the front instead of the top though. Honestly I'm starting to feel like I should just give up on the 280 and get myself a 360 AIO as it will open up so many more cases - although then I'll need new fans too.
How did you get all 4 case fans to connect to the Motherboard? My front 3 is WAY too short. Did you use that splitter to connect all of them and then route that to the forward most fan header? What about the fan on the back of the case? It will not reach if I wrap it around the back to the bottom fan header. Only way is if I take it straight there which would look ugly.

I really love the design of the case; both cosmetically and functionally. My only personal gripe is the lack of option for an optical drive. I use a Blu-ray burner to make redundant back-ups of my DSLR photos and photo edits. And while I know I could use an external one, I don't think it would look as clean plus it would block the top fans a bit.
I hate to admit but this seems to improve upon what my Fractal Torrent has going on. I too never really considered Antec too seriously before. This has me very intrigued. It looks great and builder friendly
Kinda weird giving up performance in the ssd department for sake of rgb but alright…
I wonder if the case fits push pull radiator setup. I'd still need to stick my CLC280 in the front instead of the top though. Honestly I'm starting to feel like I should just give up on the 280 and get myself a 360 AIO as it will open up so many more cases - although then I'll need new fans too.
How did you get all 4 case fans to connect to the Motherboard? My front 3 is WAY too short. Did you use that splitter to connect all of them and then route that to the forward most fan header? What about the fan on the back of the case? It will not reach if I wrap it around the back to the bottom fan header. Only way is if I take it straight there which would look ugly.
Kicks butt in a lot of games? You mean all games Greg lol. Thanks for the amazing content.
You’ve clearly never played Minesweeper 👽
Did the riser cable come with it? If not, where can you get it?
I wish more cases had built in displays to monitor temps.
Beast of a build. Where can i find that vertical bracket?
My only real grip with this and most cases is the PSU on the bottom. It's not carpeted office room friendly. That aside looks like a great case.
why no m2's despite having a nice radiator over there? and how about the piece of mounting the pump and bracket to the cpu?
nice build, really like the case.
