CONCLUSION

   The P100 may be many steps beneath its larger brother the P280 both in terms of interior space and features but that doesn't mean it can't hold its own. For once thanks to the thick SECC steel used and the noise-absorbing coating the P100 is one of the most noiseless towers we've ever used something which will certainly satisfy potential buyers who may want to place it into their living room (just like my friend). The very simple yet elegant design of the P100 is also another plus for people who may want to place it in their living rooms since it obviously doesn't attract much attention. Unfortunately the thick side panels along with the noise-absorbing material especially since the two top 120/140mm fan spots are also taken by it increase heat on the interior and although the P100 has the potential of high airflow levels still right from the box it doesn't. Worth mentioning is that the P100 has enough space at the top to even accommodate an 240/280mm thin radiator something which Antec doesn't seem to advertise much. In terms of quality my only issue is with the front door since it's primarily made out of plastic but it's not like most manufacturers don't do the same.

   With a current price tag set at USD83.20 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at 85Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) the P100 Midi Tower by Antec is priced just right and falls right next to many other feature-rich midi towers (although not many bear the same noise-absorbing material). Of course if you have the space, you can afford more and you want something better you can always go for the larger P280 which is not really that much more expensive compared to the P100 (roughly USD25/30Euros). However if space is a big issue or if you don't want to cross the USD100 mark then the P100 is a very good choice and that's why it gets our Golden Award.
