## Description

Antec Performance Series P101 Silent Black 0.8mm SPCC ATX Mid Tower Case with 8 x 3.5" HDD / 2.5" SSD Removable Bays

Review: Doesn’t mention if you are using EATX you loose 6 HDD bays and the 5.25 bay - I love the way this case is designed. Seems to be well put together. But the reason I am giving it 1 star is because no where in any of the documentation does it mention that if you are using a EATX mother board you will no be able to use 6 of the HDD bays and the 5.25 bay. Even if you look at the product flyer it shows a highlighted area for the motherboards in red. It even specifies this area includes EATX for the area highlighted and it makes it appear it will allow the use of these bays with that style board installed, but when I tried to install the motherboard I found I would need to remove these bays to install the board, with no way to reinstall the bays. I would have loved this case, it appeared to be exactly what I needed but the lack of instructions or product details are what killed this product for me. I am a person to try and make sure everything would work well before I purchase because I HATE returning things, and this products description set me up for failure. The least they can do is fix the highlighted area in their flyer or add an asterisk next to the EATX or bay quantities and add a note with this little detail. Having the 8 bays was the selling point for me so with 6 gone I could go back to a $60 case that can hold only 2 drives.
Review: Cheap power panel and even worse quality control - I bought this case to use for a home server as it has plenty of space for hard drives. I did notice right away the power panel seemed cheap but it seemed to work fine. However over time the power button seemed to be having issues and later failed to operate at all. Thankful the case has a 2 year warranty and I contacted them for a replacement. They sent over a new power panel with no instructions on how to uninstall and reinstall the panel. I managed to figure it out but after getting it installed I found pins missing for the fan controller. Now I am back to waiting for another new panel. If you want a quality pc case I would recommend finding something else. Antec's quality control seems to be completely lacking and in the event you get a case and need a replacement part you cant even rely on them to send you a part that functions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the front door come off?**
A: yes it comes off, video reviews I seen it has hinges with screws on each

**Q: can i change drive bays so drives comes out thru front door?**
A: Only if you give up the ODD and get a 5.25 to 3.5" or 2.5" hot swap bay, they do make them

**Q: As shown in picture, do the 3.5" HDD brackets come with the case?**
A: Yes, 2 brackets are included for mounting drives on the metal surface by the PCI slots and motherboard.

**Q: Can you install a 2x120mm AIO cooler in the front if you use all the 3.5" drive bays?**
A: I have the P5 not the P101, but from the listed specs: "Ready for radiators up to 360 mm in the front and 140 mm in the rear" it would seem a 240mm radiator is specifically supported. I mounted the Corsair H100i 240mm cooler in the front of my P5 and it fits perfectly.

### ⭐ Poor fabrication quality. HDD caddies plastic. Metal warped. HORRIBLE Customer Support.
*by V***R on December 5, 2020*

Purchased this after having bought *many* Antec products over the years: Antec Sonatas I/II/III; P193; P182; etc. I have had the following problems with this model: 1. The hard drive caddies are nothing like the Antec P193 of Sonatas. They are cheap plastic and do not mate to the frame in a square fashion. They're noisy and need extra neoprene inserts to prevent vibration. 2. The 5.25" caddy is poor quality and does not mate to the front face square, so only one of the mounting screws can be engaged while it is held in place. 3. The rolled steel sides are out of alignment. I had to roll them back in the machine shoppe at work. 4. In late October my POWER SWITCH BROKE! I'm not joking - the power switch snapped. I contacted Antec support on October 26th. I have not heard back from them. By the way - if you are from Antec, I have a support ticket for this, and it's 116XXX.
