The arrival of the PSE coincided with that of the P, a larger version of the P which will also be reviewed soon. The two cases are shown below for comparison. The P box is big but still smaller than the P box.
Lots of black ink there. What makes the P Special Edition special? It has a stainless steel exterior with mirror finish instead of the standard gun metal black. It also has a black interior finish, as opposed to the standard metal. Mirror is certainly the right word to describe the finish of the front and side panels of the PSE. The PSE has a stainless steel mirror finish on the sides and front panel.
A close comparison of the P and P specifications shows that they are exactly the same size. The P also has these additional features:. One difference not identified in the specs is the presence of new cable routing holes in the motherboard tray itself.
The sides and the front door are triple-layer composites of steel on the outside, plastic in the middle, and aluminum on the inside. The advantages of this composite material are:. There was the issue of the warping front door in the original P, which many users complained about.
The original P front door was a 2-ply panel, aluminum on the outside and plastic on the inside. When the temperaure stabilized, the door could sometimes be bent back straight and straighten by itself. At some point in or late , Antec replaced the door with a 3-ply aluminum-plastic-aluminum version with differently placed magnets. That pretty much stopped the warping complaints. The PSE has a 3-ply door; warping should not be an issue. The P side panels also had plastic tabs that some people broken accidentally, then complained bitterly about, but this was not as widespread a problem.
The P side panels have the same plastic tabs. It does seem possible to break them by trying to force the panels closed incorrectly or through very rough handling, but requires seriously ham-handed effort. As in the P, the front door of the P is double-hinged for a degree arc of rotation, which allows it to be flush against the left side of the case rather than open at some odd position where it can get in the way.
Two magnets on the door hold it closed. Behind the front door, nothing has really changed from the P Two large grills direct air into the upper and lower chambers of the case. Each door opens easily with a press on the top right for easy cleaning of the dust filter fitted behind it.
No change from P behind the door… except magnet positions on door? When the door is closed, a large vent at the bottom and the generous grill openings along the bezel sides allow airflow.
The feet on the bottom of the case are made of a soft silicone rubber designed to absorb vibration and reduce noise. Photo above shows the bottom front vent, side slots around front bezel, and soft silicone rubber feet.
The top panel sports a mm fan near the back, as in the P This is complemented by another mm fan near the top of the back panel. As before, a very open mesh grill cover is used to keep airflow impedance to a minimum. The back panel. The fans themselves no longer have a dangling lead with a 3-position speed switch.
Instead, the switches for these fans are integrated at the top of the back panel, visible in the photo above. Also visible in the photo above are the two rubber grommet holes for use with water pipes and the vented PCI slot covers. Do you have a question about the Antec Performance P or do you need help?

Slide the large piece all the way to the rear of the case to fully extend the opening and carefully guide all the power cables through the openings to the upper chamber.
