Antec unveils flagship Performance 1 FT chassis featuring a temperature-control display

This week Antec is launching its new flagship full tower, the Performance 1 FT, featuring an airflow-oriented front panel design, magnetic front filter, four pre-installed PWM fans and plenty of room for hardware, extra fans and liquid cooling gear.

Antec built the Performance 1 FT to offer increased air intake, improved cable routing, and more installation options to meet CPU and GPU cooling needs. The magnetic louvre front panel provides excellent airflow thanks to the mesh 1.2 mm vent holes. The detachable top radiator bracket and tool-free side panels make installation easy. Additionally, it has a display beside the top/front I/O that you can use to quickly check hardware temperatures at a glance.

To improve cooling, the Performance 1 FT supports up to 10 fans: three 140mm/120mm fans at the top and another at the front, a 120mm on the rear, and three 120mm fans above the PSU shroud. The case comes with three 140mm Storm PWM fans in the front panel and a 120mm one on the back working as exhaust. You'll also find a large 4mm edge-to-edge tempered glass side panel, offering you a great view of your internal components.

Performance 1 FT supports e-ATX, ATX, micro-ATX, and ITX motherboards and measures 522x230x522mm (DxWxH). Two toolless 3.5-inch drive cages (convertible to 2x 2.5″ SSDs), three 2.5-inch drive bays, and eight expansion slots are included. The Performance 1 FT supports up to 420mm radiators at the front, up to 360mm at the top, and a 120mm radiator at the rear. If you want a radiator in the roof and front panel, you'll be able to fit up to a 360mm radiator in both locations.

Inside you'll also find room for graphics cards up to 400mm long,  CPU coolers up to 175mm tall and PSUs up to 245mm long. The Performance 1 FT has a clean construction and optimal airflow with 30mm rear clearance and ten Velcro straps for cable management, further enhanced thanks to the two cable covers included. The front I/O has power and reset buttons, MIC/Audio combo jack, two USB 3.0 ports, and a USB-C 3.2 port.

The Antec Performance 1 FT is available starting this month, priced at €199.
