Antec P182 special edition

So I have just built a new pc.

Still havent got a case.

Someone nearby is selling a P182se for £65 with a tiny bit of damage.

Is it worth it or is there better for the cash?

Is the SE the mirror finish one?

yes it is the silver one
IMO i wouldn't buy (silverlooks ugly and shows up finger prints) but it is a very well designed case.

I own a P180, which is an earlier version, with much less by way of cable management, but a little time spent modding it and it is a very good case.
Looks are personal, so up to you if you like the mirror finish, but everything can be altered (sprayed). For quiet and cool it is a very good case. Offer them 50 notes and enjoy it.
As for better options, it depends so much on your priorities.

Depending on whether you like the mirror finish or not it is a great case. Everything mentioned above is correct, great cable management and a very well thought out case. And the P182SE comes with a powder coated black interior so it looks fantastic.

I personally like the exterior looks so I would go for it - as long as it is not to badly damaged.
