Antec P5 Mini Housing - black [0-761345-80012-9]

But also the exterior can be seen. Although Antec relies on a proven look, it brings surprising details that make this mini case extraordinary. The front is a door behind which hides a slot for a 5.25-inch drive and a removable dust filter. But even in the generously designed interior, strong hardware can be installed, which is acoustically barely perceptible from the outside due to high quality insulation on the side panels. As usual with Antec, simple optics are paired with high-quality technology.

The highlights of Antec's P5 micro ATX enclosure at a glance
- Noble micro-ATX case in the restrained design
- Graphics cards up to 360 millimeters
- Up to three fans, two pre-installed fans
- Radiators on front and back possible
- Dust filter on bottom and front
- Insulated front and side panels
- Ample space for cable management
- Soundproof and with dust filters

For the P5 Micro-ATX case, Antec has put a lot of emphasis on quiet operation and provided both sides with a particularly effective soundproofing. Also, the front panel, which is attached to hinges on the housing and can be opened, is provided with a sound insulation. Externally, the front is dominated by a brushed aluminum look. Behind the front is a removable dust filter and a 5.25-inch bay for optical drives or a sophisticated fan control. There are ventilation slots on the side, which ensure optimum airflow in the housing, which is further supported by the open design of the interior.

The I / O panel is integrated at the top. It houses, besides the obligatory connections for headphones and microphone, twice USB 3.0 as well as the illuminated power button and the reset button. At the front, either two 120mm or 140mm fans can be attached. An 140 fan has already pre-installed Antec there. There is also a pre-installed 120mm fan on the back which occupies the only space there. There is alternatively a 120 mm radiator place. A radiator instead of the fan can also be attached to the front. He may be up to 240 millimeters in size, but not deeper than 70 millimeters, including fan. This is where slim radiators come into question.

Ample space for drives and optimal cable management
In addition to the slot for the 5.25-inch drive, there is still a drive cage on the bottom, in which two 3.5-inch or two 2.5-inch drives can be accommodated. For 2.5-inch drives, there is even more space: two can be screwed vertically next to the motherboard, another on the drive cage and a fourth just below the 5.25-inch drawer. There is enough space left for the cable management on the back of the mainboard tray. For the cable routing to the other side of the motherboard tray, there are several perfectly placed recesses.
Lots of room for hardware
Antec's P5 micro-ATX enclosure provides room for components for a micro-ATX chassis: graphics cards can be up to 360 millimeters long when a fan is used instead of a radiator at the front. To cool the processor, a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 155 millimeters can be selected. A power supply with a length of up to 200 millimeters can be installed.
