*bump*

nobody?

Black is a special edition (limited number made) and obviously a diffrent colour. Think thats the only diffrence.

Shamikebab · 24 May 2006 at 18:13

oh ok cheers for that. Bugger the black one looks much nicer, not sure if i can justify spending the extra money just for a different colour though.

Get the BLACK one! And press the buy button before Yewen comes in here and tries to convince you to make a mistake and buy the silver one. I have the black one, and its the sex

The black P180 is no longer a limited edition. The SPCR version is but we are now on the Antec version.

I don't like the silver one due to the possibility you could still get one that has a warping door, although easily replaced.

Black one also does not look like a fridge, which is a plus point.

FosterK · 24 May 2006 at 22:21

And where does one get a replacement door? Antec? I've got a black SPCR one, warpy door and all. Any ideas?

And yeah, get the black one. Much nicer.

Neither because it has serious build quality issues, unless you like your PC case door as bent as George Micheal.

The bent door does not affect them all, and even if it does suffer from the problem, you can get a free replacement reinforced door from Antec.

Yeh get in touch with Antec and they will get a new door to you in a couple of working days.

Free.

They acknowledge the problem and try very hard to fix it, Antec have some of the best customer support in the buisness, the polar opposite to Coolermaster and Thermaltake.

Black looks sweet, SPCR edition just has SPCR letters in silver raised off door on bottom left.

Spend the extra on the black one, itll be with you for AGES.

Think of it as 2p per day for like 3 years or something, well worth it instead of having it in silver!

cheers for tip on warped door, i was gonna live with it but now im gonna contact Antec!

I'll go with the black one.
The silver one reminds me of a mini-fridge. Black adds coolness.

Black version, very nice!

OV3RCLOCK3R · 30 May 2006 at 01:08

Can anyone tell me the difference between the standard Antec black P180 and the SPCR version? Thanks

Yewen · 30 May 2006 at 01:10

Not seen a normal one, but all I can gather is the SPCR has SPCR on it.

Mundu · 30 May 2006 at 23:33

Personally Scince I've had my PC I've really wanted a silver P180 as it would match PERFECTLY with my monitor keyboard and mouse!!!
