Excellent. Went from 60C with an Antec 900 to 40C with the P190 (Idle).

The cable tidy system they have achieved is FANTASTIC. I'm sure you would admit that my case is rather tidy - but with another hour rearranging, you probably wouldn't see ANY cables.

Also VERY quiet - my 900 was like a plane taking off, and now I can barely ehar it (I have the 200mm fan, one of the 120mms and one 120mm I added extra at high, and the rest (2x 140mm, 1x 120mm) at low).

Bonus features:
-Dust filters. VERY useful.
-External fan controller (for 3 of the 5 included fans (Two top exhaust, and one rear))

And you'll be the last!

But seriously, my room is a TIP. There are SO many cables coming out of the 360 / TV / monitor / PC it is untrue.

I wish they'd sell that thing without the dual PSU's.

It walks all over the P182 imo; amazing ventilation, more space for extendo PSU's & GPU's and retains the compartmentalised design.

What's the price without PSU?

Same here.
I haven't used a P182, but I was tempted to buy one instead of this. In the end, I decided I needed more fans, so went with this.

This case's one downside is that it doesn't come without the PSUs. I spent ages arguing with myself, deciding whether to get this or the Lian Li PC-P80. But in the end, it was totally worth it.

I'm really disappointed this comes with the PSU (adding a chunk onto the price).

I'd be interested in just the case, but i'm not interested in the supply.

Thanks for the pics ..very nice... Im thinking about getting one myself and lucky for me I need a power supply upgrade anyways

Just two questions if you mind .... is that a quick removable filter on the 200mm side fan and whats the damage on postage (ie cost) ..

Cheers m8

Well it would take 1 min to get it out. Pop off the side, and then remove.

A bit of a pain, but I guess its the price we pay.

£16.95 postage to Northern Ireland. Might be a little cheaper on the mainland.

Whats the main difference between the P180 then?

Its much bigger and comes with two power supplies.

Neo-Link 1200 Watt dual power supply system: One 650 Watt Neo Power is
responsible for powering the motherboard and add-in cards, while another 550 Watt, handles your drives and other peripherals
