CONCLUSION

   As far back as I can remember I was never into compact PC cases not only because I always wanted plenty of room which made it easier for me to mount/remove components but also because I always wanted to have enough space for even the largest ones. Still if I had to build a micro-ATX system chances are that I’d choose a tower like the P6 by Antec primarily because it offers far more space compared to most micro-ATX cases. Of course with a total interior room for up to four 2.5” and two 3.5” drives the P6 is no match for its larger brothers but it has very little to be jealous of when it comes to graphics cards (up to 390mm long), CPU air coolers (up to 160mm tall) and power supply units (up to 160mm long). On top of all these add the fact that you can use up to six 120mm and/or four 140mm fans and one 120mm fan (or two radiators) and it’s clear that the P6 has very little competition in the micro-ATX market (granted however in terms of size it’s very close to a regular midi tower).

   At the time of this review the P6 Compact Micro-ATX Tower by Antec is quite affordable and so it retails for just USD64.56 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 62Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). With that in mind the only "serious" disadvantage the P6 has is its size since it’s positioned between very compact micro-ATX cases and regular ATX midi towers something which may push potential buyers away. That being said however the P6 offers something other micro-ATX cases do not, plenty of interior space for very large components which along with its tempered side panel and features in general are certainly enough for us to highly recommend checking it out.
