It looks like Antec is back with some fresh gear, rolling out two new additions to their chassis lineup: the P30 Air and the P30 ARGB. If you’re hunting for a new case that prioritises keeping your components cool without breaking the bank, one of these might be right up your street.
Both cases are built on the same core principle: airflow, airflow, airflow. They feature a distinctive mesh-forward design with a large intake area, making it clear that getting cool air into the system is the main goal. Plus, Antec has been generous, including a total of five fans right out of the box to help get that cooling party started immediately.
Antec P30 Air and P30 ARGB Key Features
While sharing the same great airflow foundation, there’s a key difference between the two models, as the name suggests. The P30 Air is the minimalist, clean option, while the P30 ARGB includes vibrant, addressable RGB fans and a tempered glass side panel for those who want to show off their build.
Here are the standout features you can expect from these new cases:
- Premium Cooling Design: Both models feature a high-performance mesh front panel and come pre-installed with five fans for exceptional ventilation.
- Flexible Cooling Support: Generous support for multiple cooling configurations, including front, top, rear, and bottom fan/radiator placements.
- Radiator Compatibility: Supports radiators up to 360 mm in various orientations, offering great flexibility for both air and liquid cooling setups.
- Modern Component Clearance: Designed to comfortably fit modern, high-end GPUs, CPUs, and power supplies.
- Easy Installation & Maintenance: Includes tool-less drive trays, removable dust filters, and a smart internal layout with ample cable routing space.
- I/O Panel: Front-panel includes USB (with a USB-C port on selected variants), USB 3.x, and audio jacks.
Cooling & Airflow Focus
As mentioned, cooling is the star of the show here. The cases are engineered with internal layouts and cable-routing paths designed to minimise airflow obstruction, ensuring the five included fans can do their job effectively.
The compatibility for large radiators (up to 360 mm, depending on placement) also means that whether you prefer a massive air cooler or a custom liquid-cooling loop, these chassis should happily accommodate your setup.
P30 ARGB: Aesthetic & Transparency
If you want your powerful gaming PC to look the part, the P30 ARGB is the one to look at. It takes the excellent performance of the Air model and layers on the visual flair.
- The pre-installed fans are addressable RGB (ARGB), allowing for dynamic lighting effects.
- A tempered glass side panel gives a fantastic view of your internal components and all that lovely lighting.
- ARGB synchronisation is simple, working via standard motherboard headers or an included controller.
The P30 Air, on the other hand, is optimised for those who prefer a more restrained, stealthy look, focusing purely on high-efficiency cooling without the added lighting.
Construction and Compatibility
Antec has used quality materials, including a steel frame and robust front mesh panels. In terms of motherboard support, you’re covered for ATX, microATX, and ITX boards. The cases also offer flexibility for storage, supporting both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives, so you can adapt it to an SSD-only build if you wish.
Where to Buy and Pricing
The Antec P30 Air and P30 ARGB will be available from November 2025 across major markets, including Europe, North America, and Asia. You’ll be able to find them through Antec’s authorised distribution channels and their online store.
Perhaps the most surprising detail is the pricing, as both models are launching at the same price point!
What We Think
Antec seems to have hit a sweet spot here, offering a high-airflow design with five included fans at a very attractive price. The fact that they’ve managed to launch the P30 ARGB model with its tempered glass and ARGB fans for the exact same price as the standard P30 Air is fantastic news for consumers—it basically gives people a choice between a clean or a colourful aesthetic without paying a premium for the lighting. For anyone building a new gaming PC, especially with power-hungry modern components, a chassis that takes cooling this seriously is always a good thing.
Are you more of a stealthy P30 Air kind of builder, or do you prefer the vibrant look of the P30 ARGB?
