Greetings you beautiful Antec users!

I'm seriously considering the P180 or the 182, and was wondering if you'd post some piccies of your set ups open and closed. Be sure to include the case number, and the pc specs ;)

Thanks,

Marky

Your P180 looks amazing w3bbo! I'm going to be watercooling mine soon - it's been useful seeing the pics from your project. Hoping to top mount a dual rad as you have done - do you have fans on the underside as well as the top?
 




P180 black case
Abit AB9 Pro
E4300 @ 2.4 stock cooling
2Gb geil pc 6400

p.s. bonus points to anyone that can spot whats wrong with the rig in the 1st pic
 
Graphics card looks like it's somehow gone in at an angle.

I broke the door off my p182 last night walking into it - it's supposed to be able to go right back to be flush with the case! I'm going to get onto Antec about it.

graphics card is fine must just be the angle but your close, the door does go back flush but it doesnt stay flush with the side of the case like you think it would, just swings back, its the only bad thing on the case really

I don't have it anymore but I just had the fans on top blowing in - worked fine. And it was a triple rad on top not dual ;)

Thanks for info - yeah I could tell it was a triple rad by the 3 glowing fans on top :p My wording was poor though.

your quite right i dont have the aux pci-e power connected but seeing as the 1950pro had a pci-e power connector on board i didnt think it would be a good idea to connect both, whats the general opinion on this.
But the main thing thats wrong is the bios chip is missing as i flashed it wrong, luckily my mate bought the same kit as me and i managed to hot swap and reflash it phew :o
 
AlwaysOnTheRun...Isn't the Zalman's fan supposed to blow air out of the case? If so I think you'll need to turn it 180 degrees. It's been a while since I mounted one so ignore me if I'm wrong. ;)

Yeah switched it on and realised it was blowing the wrong way! Switching to water in the next week or so anyway so not too bothered about it atm :)

I’ve heard a lot of people have done the same thing. Tbh getting the door to sit flush with the case takes more force than is warranted, that second hinge doesn’t seem to have been thought out properly .

Do the modular cables that come with the Corsair PSU reach the top of the Mobo easily enough , my non modular struggles ?
