Went from Lian Li 0111 dynamic xl (not the evo) to this case. Antec P1 is well made. I love it. Fits my 4090 ROG Strix without side panel touching the 12vhwpr cable, unlike the lian li. Kept stock 3 Front 140 and 120mm rear, added 3 x 120 bottom for gpu. similar fan config as Lian Li,. Same temps idle and load. Lian Li is great, got sick of the side panel access, loose slotting of panels, and aquarium look. Antec panels buttons up tight and independently removable, good balance of conservative and gaming appearance. At first did not like the look but when you see it, it will grow on you.
There's a lot of youtubers that I used to watch for things like deep dives into cases, but over the last year or 2; you've replaced them all. They've become bored having millions of subscribers and give little more than "they sent me this case and you could probably do "x" with it. the end (*cough Jay)" Meanwhile you are going into incredible detail (enough that a balls out custom loop could be 95% safely planned just from watching your video) and then including some of highest quality builds out there, just as a demo.
@@sidha22It doesn't look like there would be room. You might be able to mount one on the bottom of the case somewhere. Plenty of room above the PSU shroud.
With three fans installed on the outside and a 27mm thick radiator would a push pull with six total fans be possible and if so how much would it improve cooling performance?
great clean build, I did notice the mirror and colored screen right away. Great catch on the button position. Wondering if you have a degree in Industrial Design. I do and I think that is why I catch a lot of details in your builds and product design in general. cheers.. hope you are liking living in the states.
So this is the same price as the Phanteks G500a, which comes with 3 ARGB fans, and is pretty much the same same save for the temp screen. The G500a is $30 less if you get the one without fans. For watercooling, you're not looking at the CPU and GPU temps much anyway. And Phanteks is a more well known brand already. I'm not sure who this case is really targeting.
There are a few differences, including the Antec supporting up to 3x 120mm fans in the PSU shroud. Aesthetically the Antec is more my taste as well, with no PSU shroud cutout (which I kinda dislike), and grommets instead of those sliding door covers for cable management holes.
Not only temp display, removable top bracket for easy building, better performance fans, much bigger bottom filter and gpu airflow, 8 x PCI expansion... There are many features better than g500a.
@@MarshallFlores Those fans on the shroud do pretty much nothing given that it's not really pulling air from outside of the case. It's being blocked by the PSU, cables and the drive cage. If they'd copied the Lancool 3 it would actually make sense. Everything else there is aesthetics and the G500A's aesthetics easily wins. It comes with 3 ARGB fans and the LED strips from the get go. So this case appeals to like 100 people. Still not seeing why they'd invest in making this case.
@@Alexlin1124 Having 8 slots isn't by any means a "better feature". Just about nothing is getting to that bottom slot. If you're going to reach that hard, you're not going to win. The G500 has a drain port, comes with an anti-sag bracket, has three dedicated slots for vertical GPU mounting and comes with the vertical mount. All you need is the riser. The G500A also has the hold right below the GPU so they don't have to wrap all the way back under the fans of the GPU. Oh and the front bracket of the G500A comes off. The bottom filter doesn't matter that much when most of it is blocked by cables and the drive tray. That 2 degree temp drop isn't really wroth the two extra fans. And adding three is asinine given that it would be right above the PSU, which takes up at least a fan's size of that space at the bottom. I can really just buy the fanless G500A then add in my own fans if you're really actually looking for performance. Hell, I can buy a 5 pack of P14 fans for #0 This case doesn't really have much appeal other than maybe the aesthetic of the front, which is pretty close to the North. The display at the top is all it really has, and most would just add an LCD to a different case, and get more info.
8 x pci expansion means more distance between PSU shroud and GPU, you could install fans on shroud to blow your GPU. The bottom side is full-size air inlet , if you require better storage speed and no need in 3.5” hdd. The fans on shroud will be very useful to GPU. That's a BIG difference with G500a.
Remember when Antec was pretty much on top of the case market? Felt like only the Coolermaster Cosmos cases were better. Then they just fell off a cliff with bad products

I like the grill design for the front panel...looks sleek and aggressive.
Actually looks like a really solid case.
Just received it. Its amazing. It doesnt feel like a full tower.
I'm glad Antec skipped the the RGB!
Hi Stuart, another great build as usual. The dual 360 radiators with 60 mm thickness show how roomy it is. Nice case and video.
The greatest case ever conceived
Thank you. Your reviews always give me the information no other reviewer does
Thank you, glad I can help!
Can't wait to see your custom loop build in this case. It seems almost perfect for that purpose.
I see you ANTEC. They sure have come a long ways.
Can’t wait to see what you build in this case!
This is nice case. Love it. I need to order 1 for myself. Thank you awesome review and build.
It's been a year - did you order one? If you did - do you like it?

Thank you for the kind words
Got this case for myself about a month ago. It's great.
Received it today and i totally agree. Its so compact for a full tower.
@@swizzler8053if two 360mm rads are used on top and front, can a 360mm distro plate be utilized on the side?
Can you add 3.5 caddy on back in place of 2.5 ? Will the back cover close if I do that ? Thanks in advance
@@sidha22It doesn't look like there would be room. You might be able to mount one on the bottom of the case somewhere. Plenty of room above the PSU shroud.
@@sidha22I just have a USB C caddy sitting on top of the case for hard drives
Hi guy , that colours are very beautyful , but i need know how have frontal filter in red if is posible . 🤔. Salut & regards.
"This is a nice little gaming rig"... 7900X3D + 7900XTX, maxed out customer water-cooled system. Haha.
They need to make Performance 1 XL edition so i can fit at least 2 420's AIO.
The Motherboard from you Looked a little bit different to the Amazon..where did you get the Cover for the Connections..
Best regards ✌️
Fuck me sideways this is so gorgeous. I really want this case such a great design but of course it's not avabile in Sweden.
What was the red mesh you put in the front of the case?
He said he painted the mesh red
Great video just subbed
Well I don't care about rgb so it's ok for me. Thanks for the review.
Amazing video ! A lot of affiliate links in the description (camera gear) are broken, plz fix them :D
Thanks!
Any news in the white version 😢?
Wouldn't the paint over those tiny holes block the airflow
Lol what
@@GGFEvents eg. Paint getting stuck inside the holes when you're spray painting it
I've never painted a case before so idk how it works exactly but I'm willing to learn if I'm wrong
When will you realease the new build in the white lian li v3000+ ?
Loved my Antec 1200, now i dont know what i think about this brand
Hi, I know the spec sheet gives room for a 360 at the top of the case, however it looks like it is possible to fit a 420 could you confirm ?
With three fans installed on the outside and a 27mm thick radiator would a push pull with six total fans be possible and if so how much would it improve cooling performance?
Is that pc for sale?
P.S: What SATA cables youre using on this build?

Since this is called FT for full tower, will there be an MT version that is more mid-tower sized?
I sure hope so because they have a winner. I want a Micro ATX version.
It's like lancool iii
