The back of the case reveals the familiar Antec layout. A 120mm honeycomb grill is punched out for the Antec Tri-Cool
fan, and the perforation continues along the PCI blanking plates for extra ventilation. The power supply has dual fans,
both of which are controlled by a heat and RPM sensor. Unlike the Sonata case, instead of using rubber pull through to
secure the rear fan, regular fan screws are used. I had no issue with vibration caused by the rear fan. The
thumbscrews present on the left side panel are attached the panel and cannot be lost which no doubt is a feature
appreciated by absent minded users everywhere.

Once the case is opened and you're getting ready to assemble a system within, it is time to look at the case manual.
The Antec P150 Quiet PC Case manual is written in perfect English, as well as in French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Documented in the manual are pin-out diagrams of the front panel connectors, instructions on installing a system into
the case, and general helpful tips. It also tells you how to open the front of the case where you can see the air
filter and fan rack.

The air filter is washable, easily removed by pushing in a pair of tabs, and fairly easy to access. The fan rack is
capable of housing two 92mm fans, and is extremely painless to open up. Turn the two thumbscrews and you have
unbelievably easy access not only to the fan rack but to the hard drive bays.
