Antec P7 NEO Mid-Tower Case Review

A Closer Look – Interior

With the side panel removed, you can see there’s a nice thick layer of sound dampening material on the panel. This will soak up vibrations, fan noises, etc. There’s another layer just like it on the right-side panel too.

The case’s interior is nice and spacious, with room for mounting an ATX motherboard and three vertical cable routing holes to handle that. However, there are a couple of extra cable routing holes for those fitting an E-ATX motherboard, as the motherboard will obstruct the first set.

There’s a 5.25″ drive bay up in the top, should you need it. A little old-school, but while I don’t use one, I’m sure plenty of people still require one. It is removable, though, and you can take it out to expand the number of fans you can mount in the front panel. It’ll need taking out for E-ATX motherboards too, which is a shame.

There are two Antec 120mm fans pre-installed in the front, as well as a dust filtering system.

There’s a full-length PSU shroud in the case, which will help with cable management. However, there’s also a large cut-out at the front, should you wish to get a radiator in the front panel.

There’s also a 120mm fan in the rear too.

Behind the motherboard, you’ll find a decent amount of cable routing space. However, with the PSU shroud, there’s a lot more space in the lower section for cramming excess cables out of the way.

There are plenty of cable routing holes, plus, loads of very useful cable tie loops that’ll help you keep things organised.

I like that Antec has rounded all edges and corners too, so your cables won’t get snagged up anywhere.

There are two SSD mounts located right behind the motherboard. The mounts are pretty basic, but they are removable and will more than get the job done.

There are two more drive mounts in the bottom too, with two tool-free trays for 3.5″ drives, but you can screw in 2.5″ drives if you so desire.

Finally, a good amount of space for the PSU mount. There are two foam strips to help prevent unwanted vibrations too.

Finally, the front panel pulls away, revealing those two lovely front fans. However, you can also excess two of the 5.25″ drive bay screws here, allowing you to remove the bracket entirely (which I am doing).
