Got huge fan on side but looks good for water. dual 120mm fans in top and room for dual PSUs

Cant see when its gonna get released though

doesnt look as nasty as the 900

Thanks for the link, looks a nice case, however I can't see where the second PSU goes, are they both in the bottom chamber? It seems to have addressed some of the issues with the P180 (which I'm still happy with), the tidying of the cabling being my main one.

Looks like the second PSU goes in the bottom chamber vertically.

Looks ok! Not as clean as my P180 but looks to have a bit more space!

Just have to see what price it comes in at! Still gonna go Akasa Eclipse me thinks!

Not my cup of tea, but I found this on another forum for you:

As of right now there are no plans to discontinue P180/P180B even after P190 is shipping.

If P180 sales volumes fall then yes we'd dicontinue it.

Also expect changes to P190 compared to what's been seen/shown. I don't know of any changes right now, but it's still relatively early in P190's development so change is still very possible.

tbh i the 900 is growing on me and the p190 is just um - how can i put it the p180 on steroids (very small amounts)!

yes its slighlty longer and taller but it still has the same flaws as the p180 - cable management (2 psu's now) no real benefit over the p180 cos i havent heard of heat issues with the p180! idont know if you can install hard disks in the top hdd cage withought interference from the long gpu cards.

there is no need for 200mm fans the twin top fans is a good idea for peeps wanting to watercool!

Eurgh gross, what the hell is this new trend with using hideously over-sized fans?!

Great way to wreck a nice case :rolleyes:

i hate them thte oversized fans and ther is just no need for a ceiling fan to be bolted to the top or side of the case! 120mm are quiet enough and produce enough airflow and many manufacturers have produced good cases with this combination.

i guess is just as bad when all the cases came prefitted with as many fans as possible all quad led's - makes me shudder

Take it from me 120mm fans are not quiet enough, the only really quiet fans are the nexus 120's but they don't put out enough air. It would be interesting to know how quiet that fan is (and it's air flow) as well as the pitch. I assume it will be much more of a low grumble than the 120s.
