External Appearance – Back and sides


Around the back of the P150 we find the usual ATX layout configuration with a single x 120mm fan mount. However, neither the PSU nor motherboard can be removed through the back of the case.

The paint finish on the outside of the P150 is of a very high quality, featuring a mirror finish which is very well-matched to the high-quality plastics on the front panel.

Both side panels can be removed from the P150, and whilst the motherboard-facing side features quick-release screws, the other side features regular screws, which, given the market Antec is aiming at with this case, is disappointing.

The P150 is touted by Antec as being a ‘quiet pc’ and, as such, you would expect some sort of acoustic material to be fitted inside the chassis. The P150 does indeed ship with such material, but it's surprisingly thin and quite a hard material.
