A Closer Look - Outside

The Antec P10 FLUX is clearly geared towards the P-Series, with a clean, RGB-less exterior alongside a plastic door with a brushed finish.


That door lacks any softness to its edges, and unlike some previous Antec cases, its dimensions are identical to the rest of the case, making it a visual extension of it all instead of a design piece. In the rear, the Antec P10 FLUX looks pretty traditional, with the PSU bay on the bottom.


You may flip open the case with its hinges on the right by default, but Antec also allows you to flip the whole setup over, which has the door open the other way—a nice touch most other brands are omitting with their door-equipped cases these days. Behind the sound dampened door, you will find a simple 5.25" drive bay in the very top and a removable dust filter with three 120 mm intake fans below. A nice detail is that you could remove all of these fans without prying off the whole front panel in the process.


In the rear, the PSU bay comes with two sets of mounting holes—you can install any unit here without issue. Above that are the seven expansion slots, each of which is protected by a removable cover. In the very top is another fan, this time with gray blades and set to push hot air out the back of the chassis. This means the Antec P10 FLUX ships with a whooping five fans out of the box.


Both side panels are made out of steel, and while the main side is completely solid, void of any openings, the opposite panel sports a large air vent on the bottom. This allows for cool air to enter through the side, which is then pushed upwards by the reverse fan Antec includes.


The top of the Antec P10 FLUX is completely solid to ensure the best sound dampening results. You will find the power and fan high/log toggle buttons, usual activity lights, and a pair of USB 3.0 ports with audio in/out plugs. As a nice little add-on, Antec has placed their silicon covers on them right out of the box. I am happy to see Antec has gotten rid of USB 2.0 ports in their recent models.


Taking a quick look at the underside of the P10 FLUX, you will find screws that hold in place the internal HDD cage, which you may remove if you need the space for something else. The dust filter protecting the PSU bay from dirt may be pulled out through the back without laying the enclosure on its side.
