Antec Performance One P160W Chassis

awesome case

Strengths: Antec brand, really light due to aluminum

Weakness: $$

Bought this to hold my brother's college computer, now I'm jealous...probably going to buy one for myself around Christmas time. Really light, components fit just like they should. Some of the screws were a little bit hard to remove for some reason...I think this was just this particular case though

Good all aroudn case

Strengths: Lots of room. Good air flow. Case stays cool. Temp readings on the front of the case.

Weakness: The two speaker jacks in the front of the case are pretty much useless now since most boards support 7.1 sound.

For the most part this is a solid case. Like I explained before only having the two speaker jacks are useless. I run a 7.1 sound plugged into the back so the two up front are not being used. Good, solid, case but I think there are better out there for the money.

Good case with many nice features

Strengths: Removable trays, convienent top access firewire, usb, headphone plug-ins. Nice, clean case

Weakness: Rubber grommets for case fan and thermal sensors are very delicate. Poor documentation.

An excellent case with many nice features. I had a few issues with some small things such as the thermal sensor and rubber grommets but that is more an issue with me being too careless then the case being defective. The biggest issue with the case is the poor documentation and the flimsy feel of the side window. Considering the way the rest of the case was, the weak plastic-feeling side window...

Great quiet case with plenty of room

Strengths: Roomy interior, removable motherboard tray, tray mount for hard drives, 2 thermal readouts on top panel, swivel panel with switches and USB andfirewire ports

Weakness: Not much documentation provided. Thermal sensors are VERY fragile.

This is really great case. The hard drives can be installed either with the cables hidden in the back, which makes them a little harder to take in and out, or directly facing you for easy insertion and removal. The front fan blows directly over the hard drives which does a really good job of keeping them cool. I added some sound dampening to the inside of the case, for about $10, and it is one of...

cool\lighting blue

Strengths: nice blue colors. very big fans nice side panal!!

Weakness: no wealness on this case!!

i recommend this case cause it has blue light and removable motherboatd traysand lots of drive slots. a have had no problems this this case before so it it very trusted. highly recommended!!

The sum is only as good as the weakest component.

Strengths: Lightness of aluminum, quality thumbscrews, dual thermal sensor, great graphics on the box that it comes in.

Weakness: Cheap brittle plastic front bezel that you have to remove to: install CD-ROM and floppy drives, right side panel, and filter that Antec recommends you clean monthly.

I am a fan of Antec products in general, but the cheap plastic bezel and the bad design for its removal was such a let down on this $100 case, it ruined the whole experience. The bezel wouldn't be such an issue if it weren't such an integral part of the installation and functionality of the case. It a shame Antec clearly cut corners here. Plenty of room for the system board and drives. The fit...

Buffplumb

Strengths: Lots of room with removable motherboard tray and slide in drive brackets.

Weakness: Flimsy plastic bezel and minimal documentation.

This was my first build. The Antec P160W helped make things go together easily. This is a solid case[accept for the front bezel] and it is also suprisingly quiet. I am running an Intel P4-661 processo

P160W Silver Mid Tower

Strengths: Aluminium therefore lightweight. Two temperature sensors included.

Weakness: None so far.

This is a one of the best mid level computer cases. It won "100 best products of 2005" award by pc world. It is well built and there are no sharp edges. The motherboard tray is helpful in installing the motherboard. Overall a good case.

Great case

Strengths: mostly screwless... But i at least had the option to use a screwdriver if i wanted. My new board fit nicely, all the expansion cards fit perfectly with no alignment issues, and the modular mounting fo

Weakness: none really

This case couldn't be better (Unless it installed your hardware for you). Everything comes out, or apart with ease, and the removable motherboard mount makes installing a cake walk! Never had a better case than this. Everything is silent and rattle-proof.

This case is beautiful!

Strengths: Simple, attractive design. See-through side panel. Lots of space. Designed with noise-reduction in mind.

Weakness: Firewire port in front does not have a connector.

I researched many different cases for many hours and thought I was never going to find what I was looking for. And then... VOILA! Small enough so it doesn't look like a fridge, but big enough so you can fit all the juice you want inside. The outside is simple, yet quite attractive. The LED lights on the front make it look really cool in the dark and the control panel is, again, simple but very...
