Antec Performance 1 FT, Full Tower, RTX40 Fully Compatible, Temp Display, 4 x Storm T3 PWM Fans, Type-C, Dual TG Side Panels, Removable Top Bracket, High Airflow Mesh Front Panel, E-ATX PC Gaming Case

This is the first pc case I've ever bought and had to transfer into. I'm kind of new to pc gaming. Only been at it for the past couple years, and never did anything like this before. Thankfully, this case made it super easy.The size, options and components make transferring into this case super easy. The cable management looks incredibly clean by the time you're finished. The holes for the cables have these nice rubber padded openenings, and the openings are all over the place to maximize which cables come out where.All the panels (the top, sides, cable channel covers marked 1 and 2) are simple to remove. They utilized these metal notches that slot in, so you only need one thumb screw to secure them, which is pretty neat. Even without the thumb screws, there are these ball joint things the panels snap into, so the thumb screws are just an added redundancy.I had 2 3.5" HDDs. In my original review, I said there was only space for one but it turns out I'm bad at reading directions. There is space for 2. There's room for 3 separate 2.5" drives on the cable management side, so plenty of options for expanded storage.The ventilation is all over the place on this thing, so it shouldn't have any problems staying cool, and keeping air going.Speaking of air, the fans it comes with are big 140s in the front, and from what I can tell, they pull a lot in through that magnetic front vent panel.I had a situation with my motherboard in my old case, and my wishes were granted with my top mounted AIO here. The old case had a problem with space for said AIO at the top because I have the extra thick Arctic 360 radiator + fans, which had to be installed kinda of slanted to get out of the way of the CPUs power cable (the connector for which was at the very top of the motherboard). With this new case, there's enough space for everything to fit as it's supposed to.I haven't done any customizing of fan curves or anything, but I played some Cyberpunk 2077 at 4k with Path Tracing and all bells and whistles on, although not for very long yet, and my cpu and gpu stayed cool as a cucumber. My 3080 used to get up to the 80s. The 4090 doesn't go over 70. I don't know if it's the case, or the cooling system on the GPU, or both, but regardless, it's running nice and cool.I saw a video on YouTube about this particular case being a little more noisy than the more pricey ones like the Meshify 2, but if what it produced was more noise, I couldn't hear it. It's much quieter than my last case, that for certain.I'm not sure what else to add that is worth while. If you get a 4090 for this case, you may have to slip the top pci slot cover in over the back of the 4090, because the plate on the top of the card sticks out a hair on the back side. You sort of have to wedge it in (angled 45, tuck in the bottom edge over that plate, then put it upright, then push it in toward the motherboard, then you can screw it in, or even just leave the screw, because it can be a hassle, and it being slightly wedged in will keep it in place).One of the neat things about it is the screens are very easy to remove. The bottom one can be slid out from the front, like a lint trap on a dryer. The front most panel just.. Pops off with a light tug because it's magnetic.I'll be up front here, as I said, I am fairly new to pc gaming, cases, etc., but I am thorough, and from what I have found and seen for myself, it's a great case, while also being very affordable.The biggest selling point other than the ease of use, is definitely the cable management. It is CLEAN when you do it right. It looks awesome if you don't care for the RPG puke, and enjoy a nice dark and sleek appearance.Also, for being a "full" tower, it really doesn't look much bigger than the mid tower I had previously. Maybe if you jump from a small tower to this one it'll be more noticeable to you, but it fit great in the same spot.All in all, I definitely can recommend this case. Especially for those on a more beginner/intermediate level who want a lot of open space to work with.

This case has a lot of room for whatever you put in it. It has plenty of room to build in and it has removable slot covers that can be reinstalled if you take something out of your system. It has ample room for multiple cooling configurations. The only downside would be for someone that didnt know any better like myself when I bought it. The FT in the name stands for Full Tower and it means it. This case isn't the largest I've ever seen but it's big enough that unless you have a large area set aside for your tower maybe look at a mid tower case

Amazing case and the stock storm t3 fans that come with it are powerful. The only thing on my change list would be make the case about 1/4 inch taller and put that space for the top radiator. If you use the Artic freezer III (probably the fattest radiator out there) its a tight fit. It will go in and work...but its takes some effort to make that super fat 360 fit in the top above the motherboard. This case holds my 890z motherboard, 285K cpu, and 5090 founders with no problem. The 5090 founders power cables don't even touch the side glass. Also for anyone putting the case under the desk the display for CPU/GPU temp is perfectly placed.

Bought the Antec Performance 1 case just before the Black Friday deals and had I not been so impatient could’ve saved another $30 but let me tell you, it was worth every penny of the $145 that I spent! Excellent materials used in its construction. It’s a beautiful and well thought out design that performs just as good as it looks.AMD Ryzen 7900xSapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX32GB TeamGroup TFORCE 6400MT CL32ASUS ROG Strix B650E-FCooler Master 360L Illusion AIOThe case was a dream to build in. There is soooo much space. The top panels are completely removable so motherboard and AIO installation was a breeze. High quality rubber grommets line the chassis pass throughs and the openings at the top for PCI-E cables were large and easy to use. The left panel is dedicated to cable management. Triple channel cableways (2 front 1 rear) give a clear guide for wires to be run and multiple hook and loop Velcro tie downs are included. Another big plus is there are captive screws (thumb screws) everywhere you would want them to secure things in place. You almost don’t need a screwdriver at all! Then you have two paint matched covers that hide the majority of your wires for a clean finish. Two tempered glass covers line both sides of the case. It’s nice, but it does make for a heavy rig so make sure you’re placing it on a desk that’s solid and sturdy because it’s enough weight to destabilize anything flimsy. The main chamber is large and cavernous so it’s not often you can’t manage to grab something or hook up those more tedious items like USB, HD audio and front panel cables. I’m positive this case will eat a 4090 for lunch and run two 360 AIO’s simultaneously!The part of the case that I probably over looked the most but I was very impressed with was the included fans. This is where a lot of the value comes into play. Some cases of this caliber don’t include fans and especially if you want RGB, you’re going to pay for that after you buy the case. It comes with 3 140mm fans in the front and 1, 120mm in the rear exhaust section. All of these fans have a 30mm depth and they move A lOT of air!! They aren’t RGB but honestly you could get away with not running any as the case is just that nice. You’ll definitely need to adjust fan curves in the bios if you want a good balance of cooling and low noise otherwise they can get noticeably loud at the higher rpm’s. It’s recommended to setup up a positive static pressure in the case as there are a lot of areas where dust will make its way in and accumulate on your hardware if you don’t.Overall I am very very pleased with the product both functionally and aesthetically and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a high quality case at a fair price. If you take care of your things this case will easily last you 3-4 years down the road, multiple upgrades and full builds. Antec built a winner here and if you buy it you will not be disappointed!

The case is a little heavy and that is due to the glass doors. It is very roomy and I was able to add a 360mm cooler (top) and a 360 fan assembly at the bottom. Like all new computer cases, it has a good cable management system. The Antec software app I downloaded does a good job displaying both the CPU and graphics processor temperatures, as well as other system information, but it has one minor issue- The app display is 16"x6" (inches), almost as big as my car dashboard display and I haven't taken the time to figure out how to adjust its size. This Antec computer case is just great!
