Antec introduces the VSP-5000, an entry-level enclosure for gamers that offers whisper-quiet operation at an outstanding price-performance ratio. The newest midi-tower of the California-based company combines exceptional sound-dampening properties and top-notch performance. The side panels of the enclosure are crafted from sound deadening high density Polycarbonate. In addition, a fan cover sealing the top panel of the VSP-5000 eliminates any chance of system sound leakage. To prevent any perceptible vibrations, the enclosure features rubber grommets on the HDD rails as well as extra-large rubber feet.

Three 120mm fans, two of them at the top and one at the rear, ensure optimum ventilation for components inside the VSP-5000. Two more mounts for additional fans can be found at the front. The user controls the speed of the fans via three fan controls offering two speed settings each, achieving perfect balance between high performance and quiet computing. Side-mounted air vents improve ventilation throughout the enclosure. To keep the chassis clean and free from dust, it features washable air filters at the front and the bottom of the unit. Numerous strategically placed cable routing holes make it easy to hide even thick cables between the outer panel and the mainboard tray, allowing for cleaner builds with better airflow.

By virtue of their 80 PLUS Bronze certification, the new generation of reliable entry-level allrounders in Antecs VPF series for gamers and system integrators achieve an efficiency of up to 88 percent. Because of the excellent ratio of expended power to usable energy, the VPF family is not only more efficient, but also more powerful than its predecessors.

Compared to other power units in this price segment, the new VPF models are equipped with additional safety standards and due to the innovative CircuitShield technology offer as much as nine industrial quality protective circuits. Users can therefore rely on their high quality pc components to be perfectly protected. The complete set consisting of overcurrent protection (OCP), overvoltage protection (OVP), undervoltage protection (UVP), short circuit protection (SCP), overload power protection (OPP), overheating protection (OTP), surge and inrush protection (SIP), low-load operation (NLO) and protection against temporary fall of voltage (BOP) renders the new VPF power units reliable and stable power suppliers.

Antec, Inc., California-based manufacturer of high-performance computer cases, power supplies and mobile accessories, announced today the availability of the P380, the latest addition to Antec's award-winning Performance One series. The new Quiet Computing flagship is now commercially available from 209 € (MSRP including VAT).

The P380 is a fusion of stylish design and a sophisticated cooling system, with the proven Quiet Computing features of Antec's Performance One series. Like all models in the series, the P380 is specially equipped to dampen system noise to the point that the computer is almost inaudible when the fans spin at a higher speed.

Antec expanded its super-quiet EDGE Silence Defined line of power supplies, which made its debut in September with 550W and 650W model, with a series-topping 750W one, aimed with gaming PC builds with up to two high-end graphics cards. The unit is characterized by a 135 mm FDB fan that stays off until the unit kicks a load/temperature threshold; and rubber grommets and bands that dampen whatever little vibration slips out of the fan.

The innards of the 750W EDGE Silence Defined are made by Seasonic, featuring a single +12V rail design, APFC, Haswell C7 state support, and all modern electrical protection mechanisms. The unit features fully modular cabling, with enough juice and straws to go around, for a build with two high-end graphics cards.

Antec showed off its next flagship PC chassis, targeting enthusiasts, the P380. This full-tower can house E-ATX, SSI-CEB, HPTX, and XL-ATX motherboard types, apart from standard ATX and micro-ATX. It features 9 expansion slots. The frame is made of SECC-Steel, but the case features high-density polycarbonate panels, which look good (faux-aluminium), and work to absorb vibrations.

Drive bays on the P380 include two 5.25-inch, and eight 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drive trays, split between two cages, with the bottom 6-tray one being detachable, to free up 465 mm of room for some really long graphics cards (350 mm with the cage in place). Cooling system includes room for a 360 mm x 120 mm top radiator, and another one along the front panel, and a 120 mm rear exhaust. Front panel connectivity includes two each of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0/1.1 ports, and standard HDA audio jacks.

It may not be a 2-compartment breadbox like its sibling, the P50, but the new P70 retains its design language, with its brushed, faux-aluminium front, high-density polycarbonate panels that work to dampen vibrations, and its motherlode of front panel USB ports (six USB 2.0/1.1 and two USB 3.0), next to standard HDA jacks. This mid-tower can house standard ATX, micro-ATX, and mini-ITX motherboards.

Drive bays on the P70 include three 5.25-inch, and an interior 3.5-inch drive cage with four bays, that can be detached to free up room for graphics cards as long as 380 mm (300 mm with the cage in place). Three 120 mm fans are included, a front intake, a rear exhaust, and a top exhaust. There's provision for a 120 mm front intake, a 120 mm rear exhaust, and two 120 mm top exhausts, that can hold on to a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator.

Antec showed off one of its first two-compartment cases, the P50. This micro-ATX case features a vertical partition, à la Corsair Carbide Air 240. Its front is decked with a brushed faux-aluminium panel, with a single 5.25-inch drive bay that's along the plane of the base, rather than vertical. Front panel connectivity includes six USB 2.0/1.1 ports, and two USB 3.0 ones, apart from 3.5 mm HDA jacks. The top vent tucks in a large 200 mm spinner, which swaps out for room for a 240 x 120 mm radiator.

The left-side compartment holds the motherboard tray, with no obstacles for graphics cards as long as 300 mm, and CPU coolers as tall as 160 mm. This compartment has two 80 mm rear exhausts. The right-side compartments holds the PSU bay with a 140 mm intake, and two ventilated drive bay stacks, with three 3.5-inch, and two 2.5-inch drive bays, in all. In all, the case has room for eight fans. All panels feature high-density polycarbonate, which works to reduce noise.
