I prefer hiding all the front panel stuff behind a door tbh.

Also read comments from couple of people on this forum moaning that the swing door mech is fragile, well not imo unless you are rough with it or transport the case around a lot. Granted it's not hinged via metal, but its not what id call fragile on either the 182 or 190...

Antec make good powersupplys. Maybe not as good as corsair, but certainly better than most manufactures.
Running GTXs off of molex adapters is fine, of course they will use the right rail, you think a molex connector is going to pump loads of the 5v rail into a GTX instead of a 12v :s
Its certainly not ideal, for the cost you'd expect them to have PCIe connecters, but by no means is it going to cause problems.

Who told you Antec make good power supplies ? And better then most manufacturers ? They are behind PCPower and Cooling, Corsair/Seasonic, Enermax, Coolermaster, Silverstone, the newer Thermaltake toughpowers. a lot of these manufactuers use OEM's like Enhance, ChannelWell, Etasis, Seasonic etc.. But Antec's always had fairly crap early designs from CW which never really were able to put out their rated wattage in hot conditions. Sure they are better then your generics, probably as good as some of the Topower efforts from Tagan. And their newest ones are good allright because they shifted to Enhance as their new OEM with a better design, as did Silverstone. But by and large the majority of Antec psu's are nowhere near what I would consider Tier1, 2 or 3 manufacturers. You should read up on PSU's on the forums Jonnyguru.com and you will find the consensus amongst the experts is Antec PSU's are pants. Wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. They would be bottom of my list along with Tagan, BFG and some of the Hiper psu's. Junk.

For anyone that has this case - how long is there from the back of the case to the optional fan in the power supply part?

I have a beastly Enermax Galaxy 1000W, and am worried it may not fit.
