Antec P101S SILENT

This is the perfect kind of case for those that are in need of installing plenty of hard disk drives, because it has 8 x 3.5" hard disk bays. I'd suggest this case for server builds rather than gaming, as there isn't as much ventilation as some other E-ATX cases. What I do like a lot about this case is the side panel design. There is a thick cushioned layer on the inside of each panel which helps to reduce vibration noises immensely. The case comes with 4 preinstalled fans. There are 3 at the front and 1 on the rear. It does have a front door, which is magnetic, and can be opened to allow cooler airflow, but is good to reduce the sound of fans when closed. There are 3 mode settings for the built in fan controller switch. You can either have the fans turned off completely or choose from a low and high setting. I personally prefer to have a more selective low to high mode, so I have installed my own fan controller to set a more desired speed, which can be lowered to less than the lowest speed switch that the case has, thus being less noise. The case is very straightforward for installation and is made out of high quality material. I would highly recommend this case for anyone who is looking to build a PC with lots of storage and likes their PC to run quietly.

superb case loads of room easy cable routing hdd caddies 2 ssd slots great cooling and looks good too

This, my latest Antec case , resembles all the previous Antec cases with a yet more silent update .The Case is heavy with silent, sporting temperature controlled fans, running in a steel casing lined with silencing material.On the negative side , the screws used to construct the case are definitely cost reduced versions of their excellent predecessors!A further problem , common to all the Antec cases with the PSU at the bottom of the case , is the inability of the PSU cables in reaching the motherboard! Eventually, after much profanities , the CPU power cables just reach the top of the motherboard, but cover some of the peripheral slots in the process!! Antec sort this!When , however, you boot the system .....audio and electrical silence .....ideal for a sound system.

well built good quality and functional case great for my Chia set up

My Antec case was my favorite thing about my last pc build. It was a P280 and felt massive throughout, no tight spots that caused issues. This time I was sure another Antec was the way to go, but Im disappointed.This case is not as good:-The space behind the motherboard is very tight.The area where the sata connectors go to the hd bays is an issue too.... some 90 degree connectors wont fit because of the spacing (if the horizontal bit it too short it hits the metal casing before it slots in).The enclosed psu part is very tight indeed even with a modular psu (it would be helpful if it had removable sides too.The hd "drawers" are plastic and use plastic connector spikes; they do not feel robust. They are not as nice as the P280.The holes for cabling (from back of case to front) had plastic dust barriers in the P280, these are gone in the P101.I certainly wont be considering only Antec cases in my next build.

Hi,bought this to use as a Nas computer. Was going to use noctal 804, but motherboard size put me off as I wanted 3 Full PCI slots, 1 for Video, 1 for 10GB Nic and finally as SAS 8 port car. Fitted with asrock x570 taichi, and now running proxmox, utilising Truenas. Awesome.Online reviews were mixed but I have to say for the price its a cracking case.Someone else did point out that the back cover was quite close and that this pushed on the SATA/SAS connectors, however the drive cages can come out, but in my case I just added 10mm spacers, now perfect.

It's awesome!
