Products

Antec Mobile Products (a.m.p)

In October 2012, Antec launched Antec Mobile Products (A.M.P.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Antec that includes consumer electronic products designed in California. The new product range includes a line of Bluetooth audio devices, USB-powered battery packs and mobile chargers with clean and modern design features.

Console Gaming

Antec entered the console gaming sector with the X-1 Cooler[6] for the Xbox One in 2015 which received positive reviews.[citation needed] The cooler prevents the console from over-heating while in use and helps preserve the lifespan of the console.

P180 Case

In 2005, Antec launched the P180 case which changed the PC case industry.[citation needed] The case was well-designed in terms of aesthetics and performance. It provided a sleek look while providing great thermal ventilation and a super quiet system. In June 2018, Antec introduced four new chassis break covers named as, P5, P100Evo,[7] Antec krypton[8] and project X.[9]

Since sparking the case revolution in the 2000s, Antec has struggled to keep up with other cutting-edge leaders like Corsair in this space.[10]
