Test System

Assembly

Installing the motherboard is done by traditional means, with the use of spacers and screws. As you can see, the openings for cable management line up quite nicely. The reverse fan we received alongside the chassis is genuinely blowing air in the other direction, but just like with the one found in the DF600 FLUX, the arrow on the frame of the fan is still pointing in the wrong direction. This is no big deal, but just a small visual annoyance that may have you install the unit the wrong way if you did not read through the provided documentation.


Adding an SSD using the tray is definitely the easiest way, as you secure it outside of the confines of the case. Once the tray is filled, simply put it back into place and push it down to secure it.


Installing a 3.5" drive onto the included tray is completely tool-less as the drive is held in place by plastic pins with rubber inserts. Once filled, simply slide the whole contraption in until it snaps down securely.


Placing an optical drive within the chassis means you first have to pop out the solid, plastic cover for the bay. You are then able to slide the unit in and secure it with screws. Even though our optical drive is not the shortest, there is still about 10 mm of space between it and the motherboard area, so you should never have to worry about the drive of your choice interfering with your motherboard.


Adding the PSU is done by screwing it down after it has been positioned underneath the shroud. There is plenty of space for a modern, large, and efficient unit. You should have no issues building a mainstream to high-end rig in the P10 FLUX.


With everything installed, the Antec P10 FLUX makes an alright impression inside, which is mostly because of additional effort behind the scenes. I would have liked a few extra mounting points for zip ties, but with a bit of imagination and time, the result here is not bad either.

Finished Looks

With the Antec P10 turned on, there is really no visual element to let you know that the system is powered up. The only hint is a small white LED in the top of the enclosure, but the lack of RGB components or windows is deliberate, so it is nice to see the case stay under the radar so to speak.


Flipping open the front, you can see the ODD bay fitting within the chassis nicely, as well as the glimmer of some of the RGB components when looking straight at the Antec P10. In the rear, everything is where you would expect it for a modern mid-tower chassis.
