I completed my P182 build w/pics

acharris · 12 Sep 2007 at 23:34

Hi all, I had my P182 case from OCUK delivered today, must say I was very impress with their quickness. I must say that on first opening the box I was very impressed with the P182, so then I transfered all my stuff from the Raidmax Zorro case into the P182.

I left the middle drive cagel out as in a few weeks, I am putting in a 8800 GTS and it would save me from pulling the cage out then. Plus I bought a AC 120 L fan to put at the front to move air along. Below are the pics, though it not as tidy as some on here, I am happy as it is 95% tidier than my last case and airflow is good and I tidy up the fan controller lead hanging down..

Also here are 2 links, not to clog the thread up:

Hi

Nice case there, the cabling is not too bad either in the top half lol! I just finished installing into a new case an hour ago. My first case with 120mm fans, cant believe how quiet it is. Need to tidy up also, its the part i hate!

Are you aware that those AC fans are exhaust only?, swap it over with the rear one for cross-flow.

omg! messy lower chamber.

ever thought about the airflow for your hard disk drives?

i'll post mine when i finish building it

Hi, no I didn't realise that. Thanks for that tip. Also, what do people suggest for routing the cables at the bottom then, as my PSU ain't modular and I had too many cables left over to route behind the mobo tray to shut the panel tidy.

My PSU is modular and I still have a big mess down there

My main gripe atm is still having a couple of IDE drives with my SATA's... Once there gone the hard drive chamber should be a lot tidier!

Same here. It might also have been nice if they had a grill over that bottom fan, as it was tricky to stop the cables from straying into it.
