Good to see Antec cases again. Us old guys will remember that they were absolutely dominant in the field in the early 2000s

[@mikesunboxing]

very true, just a few tweaks to the design and a price cut and this will be awesome

[@StocksFarm]

I always wanted a Antec 900 back in the Crysis days. But never got one. So I bought a Antec 1200 in the 201x's, it served me well but it got outdated pretty quickly when it came to SSD's and GPU length. Currently running a dark base 900 pro I've had a few years. Considering this Antec P20C for a buddy of mine. He's an old fogey and will probably appreciate it's simplicity.

[@edplat2367]

Everyone had an antec 900 at some point that cut their hands to pieces. At least it had cool blue LEDs, lol.

[@Stance1988]

Only in the US. The world is bigger than that.

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

I like how it looks. Also the removable front is a good feature. Also that GPU support is great.

[@C0DM4YH3M]

I just bought this case 2 days ago absolutely love i replaced the front 3 with RGB but this case rocks my world, excellent review mate using it as my daily driver now.

[@mikesunboxing]

Great case and well thought out just the price point is the issue for me

[@stevenguyen6716]

Hi there, i'm going for a build with this case and rgb fans in the front. I would love to see your system to see how the front rgb fans would look !

[@Senrab46]

Looks a quality design and good finish. USB3 / C, decent filters, good build quality yet at this price surely the fans need to be stronger / quieter! Love my F15 case bought after watching your review and runs quietly when gaming. Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath 👍

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah the f15 is still up there in my list of favourite cases

[@Loppy2u]

Compared to the Corsair 5000D Airflow. This Antec has as many features . In-depth professional review that a professional case should get at this price point. Thanks all at Mike's unboxing.

[@mikesunboxing]

Thank you very much

[@mxrt0]

For basically the same price, would you say that the Lancool 216 is undoubtedly the better choice over this Antec one?

[@mikesunboxing]

Yeah I am tempted to agree with that

[@uglybob7505]

Thats a good lookin' case ! I like the front panel pattern but you would grate much Red Leicester on that bad boy. Lovin the RGB-less fans up front but just a shame the price is a bit on the high side. Im my humble opinion there are plenty other options out there at less cost which offer all the features of this case and more ! Thanks for the review though Mike, appreciated as always buddy.

[@mikesunboxing]

Thanks bob appreciate the support

[@MatteoAA_]

Hi men and what other case do you recommend that has the same characteristics? (and that is not rgb)

[@danmar007]

I like it, and it's around C$125 in Canada, which is pretty good since 110£ is C$185. What I really want is a case inside which you can build two different systems. 🙂

[@mikesunboxing]

Seems you are getting a better deal over there

[@danmar007]

@@mikesunboxing Which seems quite unusual.

[@mikesunboxing]

@@danmar007 yes it is quite rare indeed

[@panychpanych4339]

On the official site it’s written it’s possible install 2 fans 180mm, it is??

[@mikesunboxing]

not tried it but seems likely

[@SpeedBoostRC]

What is the brightness level of the power and HD lights? I purchased a case that I ended up returning because the intense blue light from the power and HD indicators was bothersome and excessively bright. It made me hesitant to put my PC to sleep mode due to the flashing light illuminating my entire room.

[@mikesunboxing]

they are quite bright but a small piece of black electrical tape soon fixes that if it bothers you

[@WilliamAPBodie]

What a beautiful Pc case 🥰 Mike's Review is Worthy of a Support comment. Like & a share 🙂

[@mikesunboxing]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate the compliment as always

[@rmorenberg]

can I use a corsair shift in this case?

[@mikesunboxing]

not sure sorry, not tried it, but i would think so

[@OlettaLiano]

Hi, Mike. That case looks very much like an Antec case I bought for a media PC. The main differences is the one I bought has a slot for a CD/DVD drive, and it only cost me $45. That's about the price the case you're highlighting in this video's is worth, in my always correct opinion. 😂 For $110 there are much better cases on the market from the likes of Thermaltake, Lian Li, or Be Quiet. I'm in agreement for that price, the case should have came with four top shelf ARGB fans. Then it might be worth it. Great review as always. 👍

[@mikesunboxing]

Thanks oletta and missed you in the discord hope all is well

[@OlettaLiano]

@@mikesunboxing I've been busy, didn't think anyone would notice.

[@mikesunboxing]

@@OlettaLiano A few asked where you were! You were missed 🙂

[@srirachahero4679]

Here I am 7 months later - picked the RGB version of this case for $80! Great review, nonetheless as the biggest sticking point was price 😊

[@TheRealPunisher]

How do u like it. I might buy it right now lol

[@FirasAlmakssosi]

Thank you 🎉

[@mikesunboxing]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Synthematix]

Airflow is the no1 most important thing in a case, id take that over all the rgb BS any day, id reverse those fans and have them extracting, intake fans are useless when paired with a filter and a grill, the antec super lanboy case from 2004 is still my favourite case of all time.

[@alphaomega1969]

No cd or dvd rom option?

[@mikesunboxing]

not really no. not many do these days

[@edgecr]

it actually gives me vibes from the kolink citadel mesh, the metal work and buttons are too similar. great work as always Mike! cheers

[@mikesunboxing]

Yeah I can see that

[@jack6565]

I like myn. The look is good. The airflow is good. Non RGB was the way I was leaning. Included fans are are good. Easy removable front is good. Filters are easy to clean. Im probably just spoilt, last time I built a PC was 2010 and it was a coolermaster case.

[@djmonden]

Great noise test. no noise test

[@mikesunboxing]

trust me the fans are awful

[@D_8KEN]

Seems like a good all round well built case! However nothing really outstanding. Was keen to see the is one as they seem to be pushing a few new things. Antec are a weird brand. They come up with some good stuff but they’re really lacking an absolute ‘must buy’ product in 2023. Cheers Mike & Kath

[@mikesunboxing]

Totally agree, they seem to have lost their way in the market

[@先物-j1l]

I bought this case and I replaced 140mmx3 fans at front. I was looking for 140mm fans that are possible to install at front. I don’t find the cases that 140 mm fans can be installed at front. I love design and functions. And also I think the price is reasonable for me 😊

[@kumasswan4309]

One year passed, the price has normalized to suggested 60-70 quid (at least here in Spain)

[@mikesunboxing]

that isn't bad

[@PaulBakewell]

Great video thanks Mike

[@colinhilton6067]

Good review Mike.I’m not a lover of the case,l think it’s too bland,especially at the recommended price 👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@mikesunboxing]

Yeah a splash of RGB would have made it more interesting

[@chris_hertford]

GPU mounts need to come on all cases as standard!

[@mikesunboxing]

Yes I agree as long as it doesn’t increase the cost disproportionately

[@cyclon74]

I agree. Misleading. The GPU vertical mounting, I mean.

[@rangersmith4652]

The better buy in this size and feature category is the Montech Air 903 Max. Less than 1/2 an inch bigger in every dimension, three RGB 140s up front and an unlit 140 out back, and missing nothing seen in the Antec P20. Best of all, can be had any day for

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah i agree and we also reviewed that after this and it is a much better case

[@johnb6014]

I disagree. Its a case woth more features then the corsair 4000 airflow, and its only $5 cheaper.

[@mikesunboxing]

the build quality is no where near as good as the corsair though

[@JoseGonzalez-vp7mp]

People that harp on a lack of blinky kid lights are not the target market for this case. It's for adults.

[@mikesunboxing]

😂

[@Wellibob68]

£40 id be in. Anymore . No. Spot on Mike with the review.

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks mate, appreciate it. I would probably stretch to £60 i the view of the current market and exchange rates, but ideally less

[@cmdr-reflipd]

That is why I like it, NO RGB!

[@ketechin]

In my country is about $78

[@mikesunboxing]

not too bad i guess

[@Nick_R_]

Great review. I'd be a bit more favourable than you. Fairly well made, no frills case that has decent capacity and looks good. A pack of better fans, perhaps from Arctic, will increase the cost of course. The obvious competition is the Corsair 5000D airflow, but that needs at least a pair of extra fans and already has a higher price. Ultimately though, that's the one I'd go for if I was looking at a traditional design like this.

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks Nick, appreciate your thoughts and your comment.

[@uglybob7505]

CRAP JOKE FRIDAY !!! Just opened a bar that has live jazz. Gonna call it HornPub

[@WilliamAPBodie]

There it is 👍

[@john-xo9mg]

At that price i'ts up against the Lian Li 216 which is a better case (yes biased I have one) if they nock £25 off the price I recon it would be worth considering..

[@mikesunboxing]

Yes that was definitely on my mind during the review

[@jamesdegriz]

Looks and acts like a 70 quid case. Storage options are meh. Fans will ned replacing. Not much of a looker. Just built in a Fractal Torrent. Was a joy to work with even with my ginourmous hands and temps are incredible,.

[@MrAckers75]

Looks ok but it’s well over priced like you said…..you can grab a montech sky two kitted out with rgb for 70£

[@mikesunboxing]

Yeah the quality is there but the price is just a bit too optimistic

[@rickh8380]

I'd buy it for no more than $75.00 US. It's a nice looking case. I've paid more and gotten less. Take care all. Cheers

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah i think you are in the right area there

[@tigerbalm666]

No effing RGB fans? WTF!

[@mikesunboxing]

i know, terrible state of affairs

[@sol-hb8zg]

Lmao looks good but I got my 5000d for not much more

[@mefaronichandelans1392]

I just bought this case yesterday and it's like $60 (RMB￥430) in China. I don't understand why they would priced that high in your country putting it to direct competiton with some very good case such as L216.

[@mikesunboxing]

i agreed totally

[@meuploader98]

It is selling roughly $71 (MYR329) in Malaysia. I also wonder why they priced that high in your country.
