Review on Antec Performance P82 Flow ATX Mid-Tower Case: Tool-Free πŸ–₯️ Tempered Glass, Removable SSD Rack, White LED, 4x 140mm Fans by Paul Weakland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great case, no cable management options.

My biggest gripe with this case is the lack of cable attachment points, there really is no excuse why they shouldn't be there. disk compartments. In order to install three 120mm fans on the side brackets, you need to remove one of the two hard drive bays as there is hardly enough free space. If the slots were reduced by just a few millimeters or the case height was increased, that wouldn't be a problem. What I like is the open bottom at the top of the list. All wall cabinets with windows must have this arrangement. Fanless graphics cards have trouble getting hot air away from themselves in a standard case layout, as the power supply sits directly underneath and prevents direct airflow from below. Side fans have traditionally solved this problem, but side fans are dead so a new solution is needed. This case offers that solution. It has the power supply on top which provides enough air to power the GPU. That hot air gets into the CPU, but for gaming in general, GPU temperatures are much more important. And it's also much easier to upgrade a CPU cooler than a GPU cooler. The optimal setup is to use a closed-loop CPU cooler, the cooler fans blow air from the side, the fans push air into the graphics card from below, and a fan on the back pulls hot air out of the graphics card. Considering the functional points, I have to say that this case feels premium. There is relatively little plastic inside the case, and the metal panels have a superb sandblasting finish. The tempered glass looks very clean compared to the acrylic, and the backlit USB ports add a stylish touch.
