Hey everyone out there!
In case you haven’t checked out our recent Youtube or Facebook pages, we wanted to throw a couple videos your way. We’ve been quite busy with the launch of our HCP-1000 Platinum PSU and our TrueQuiet™ Pro 120 case fan but still wanted to put out a couple of digital goodies for you guys.
First up is Dennis Pang‘s showcasing of our TrueQuiet Pro 120 fan. He shows you that the TQP’s unique fan blade is designed enhance to airflow. It also keeps quiet with silicone grommets & mounting pins, and it includes a convenient 3-pin to Molex adapter. You can find TrueQuiet Pro 120 on Amazon for $19.99 or less.
Next up is a little statement we’ve made about our philosophy on providing exceptional customer service and cracking down on those rare defective products. If you’ve ever seen Office Space or have destroyed a crappy product, you might get something out of this video!
Don’t forget to check out the blog below “Airflow and Cable Management: Jump on it!” and post a comment for your chance to win an Eleven Hundred on Friday!
That’s it for now, ladies and gents, but stay tuned for more coming up on the Antec blog.

We all know what the many benefits of building a PC are, but occasionally we overlook some of the factors that keep our PC in check and keep us smiling. Airflow and cable management can certainly improve how we build and maintain our systems, and even having a basic knowledge of the two can make all the difference in creating a rig you truly admire through the years & upgrades. So, why should you care about airflow, and what’s all the fuss about cable management?

We all know that the Performance One P280 comes from a long line of chassis that time and again have overcome the oxymoron of “Quiet Performance.” But what happens when you want to make that quiet a little more quiet while amplifying performance? You get the build I want to talk about today: the mainstream X79 system, which loads up high-end hardware (including our not-yet-released HCP Platinum 1000 power supply) with even more Antec Quiet Computing™ technology, including our BRAND NEW TrueQuiet Pro 120 enclosure fan, which offers one of the highest airflow-to-noise ratios on the market.
Today’s blog is the first of three parts that I will dedicate to this system. First up is how you can add more fans to your system while still keeping quiet and under control.

Behold, I the Three Hundred Two!
If you’re thinking, “Hey, I know the Three Hundred,” then you’re probably not alone. The Three Hundred has been one of Antec’s best-selling cases worldwide and may have captured your heart a system or two (or four?) ago. But now the Three Hundred’s spiritual successor has arrived to exist alongside its legendary predecessor. Behold, the Three Hundred Two!

When it came to building my first PC, my goal was to put together something that could turn on and not fry within 24 hours of use. Though trembling and sweating as I installed each component, I let out a big sigh of relief when the power LED turned on and my loading screen came up. So when Jessie came to me with the challenge of installing my first liquid cooler, I just about fainted. Continue reading “Liquid cooling: You will not get wet” →

My first computer was an Apple II. It was monochrome and glorious!
I’m relatively young – 35 years young, to be exact, but I’ve been in computers for over ten years now. My first computer was an Apple II, complete with floppy disks that actually flopped, a monochrome display and a game called Hardball!. It was glorious, gloriously terrible by today’s standards, but back then, it was great! To follow that up, I went “IBM/PC compatible” when my mom’s co-worker decided to sell her a computer. It came complete with a tower tall enough to be a part of any major city’s skyline and a turbo button! I have no idea who made that beast, but it was awesome. It introduced me to the glories of the internet through this company known for their compact disk distribution business – AOL. And the last computer I bought was a Gateway 2000 – back in 1999, but I’m still not certain why they felt the need to put cow patterns on their boxes.

You may have already heard about the recently-announced Performance One Series P280 and how it is redefining what it means to be an Antec Performance One enclosure. What you may not have heard is that there is a case that is helping to revolutionize Antec’s Gaming Series enclosures in much the same way. I’m proud to present to you the Eleven Hundred!

What a week! We’ve been waiting for this for some time now, since we started talking about the Performance One Series P280 chassis during Computex. We were confident we had a great product on our hands, but we couldn’t have anticipated the critical acclaim that we’ve been fortunate enough to receive thus far.
Let’s start with an unboxing video of the P280, shall we? Linus Tech Tips up in Canada did a very thorough unboxing video so you know what to expect when you get yours.
