Good value for such an inexpensive case, Multiple fan controllers for all case fans, Clean outside look with black matte finish, Sturdy 3.5″ drive mounts (mounting rails), Removable block-off Panel for top fans.
Stylish aesthetics, Very quiet fans, Excellent thermal performance, Affordable (as low as $59.99)
Compact and portable, Two frontfacing USB 3.0 ports, Easy to access fan control, Tactile power and reset buttons, Lots of drive bays including SSD support, Comes premounted with three 150mm fans, Runs fairly quiet, Ample room for cable management

Overall, the Antec P70 was a surprisingly nice case, given its price point. I'm not sure why, but I wasn't really expecting much out of it, when I first started looking at it. It's a pretty solid case if you just want a well priced case to house all...

If you want a case that is silent then you get what you paid for. I could hear every move my Radeon 5770 made but the Antec fans were surprisingly silent and better than I expected. The top 240 X 120 blow hole air vent really pulled the air out of the...

Antec's P in P70 stands for Performance and their goal is to create a quiet, functional, and stylish case for all types of users. With this case in use for over a month now, it certainly meets their goal and is well worth the cost of $69.99, especially...
