Antec Performance One

Case Construction and Security

With exception to the bezel, the case is made completely of 1.2mm anodized aluminum. Aluminum alone eliminates sharp edges while the 1.2mm thickness strengthens the structure of every part of the P160. What does that mean? We won't see any easily bent or dented panels or heavy hardware deforming any part of the case.

There are a couple of security features in the P160, which are new to us. It's been a while since we've seen any effective security features that prevent access to the inside of the case. The first security feature prevents removal of the case's bezel by way of a small metal rod that is only a few inches long. When the left side panel is installed onto the case, the rod is pushed in through a loop, which is then secured to the inside of the bezel.

The left side panel can be locked onto the case by the key lock on the rear 2-position locks to complete a total lock-down of the case.
