your welcome, great case, very happy with it.
 
I have ummed & R'ed for ages about a new PC case.
And this one does seem to be the best around at the moment.
So I will buy it in January 08 if I do not get it for Xmas.
Shame there is no side window option though.

Really want the P182SE for the black interior but I dont like the shiny exterior!
Might have to get it powder coated in the future by a company!

Heh, personally I want it for the exact opposite. I think the shiny exterior looks fantastic - at least from all the pics I've seen it does, not seen one in the flesh yet. Nobody's gonna see the colour of the inside of the case once it's closed.

Think this is going on my Xmas list too. I'm sure the wifey won't see the point in spending £100 on a case when you can get a decent one at half the price, but the shiny shiny factor just does it for me.
 
I have Googled the P182 side panel window, and I only get forum links.
I agree with GarethDW, The casing does look amazing.
Though the inside can be of interest if you taken the time to tidy every thing up, plus a LED or Neon looks amazing as well, bit Boyed I know, sorry

I too want the P182SE, and like the black interior, does anyone know where you can get hold of decals for these cases?

Scan do pre-applied decals, but I cannot post links due to rules etc, however they look cool

i didnt like the shiny exterior until i received it

oh damn what a case

just make sure you get some psu extension cables and take out the fan in the botom section.

Why ?

Surely this depends on which PS the OP is using. No need for extension cables when i built mine. (See sig)

As for the fan, personal preference.

But yes, i did take mine out also. Only one HD so PS draws enough air to cool.
 
I will be ordering my soon.
I notice that there are 2 Hard Drive LED's on the case.
What MoBo's have 2 Hard Drive ports on the MoBo ! ?

Yeah - I've yet to hear of a mobo that has output for 2 hd leds?

Seems a bit silly to me, my second lot of leds are just sat here doing nothing :rolleyes:

Still; its a fantasic case :D

my gigabyte mobo has both a power light and a status light. i used the "power" LED on the case as the HDD light and the two HDD lights as the power and status lights :)
 
Getting this case soon but have a few questions.
I'm interested in the Zalman ZM-MFC2 fan controller and wondered if it would impede the front door of the P182 from closing properly due to the petruding control dial?

Also am i correct in thinking that i can attach the current fans on the P182 to this controller and would it be advisable to attach the CPU fan to this?

Plenty of room behind the door. Have a look at the bigger P182 thread on these forums for pictures. ;)

The supplied fans have molex connections, which will not be ideal for a fan controller. You will have to use some cable adaptors/convertors. The supplied fans also come with a built in 3 speed switch which could complicate things.

If you are going to the trouble of fitting a fan controller, i would replace the fans TBH.
 
Ah cool. thanks for the reply.

Would like to use the stock fans in conjunction with the controller, as it seems a bit of a waste to replace them.
Anyway i'm reading the other thread right now :D
 
A m8 of mone has replaced all his fans in the P182 for near silent ones. And he is thinking of attaching them to a Fan controller.
Sounds like a plan !
