Call all P182 owners....

It was a nice enough case (and quiet) but has been cut up and bashed around over the years so will be going in the bin as soon as i get my A77 and i figured the A71 is too small for the internal WC that i want + it's been powder coated and having mods done to it so it's too late to change my mind now.

Well in that case, you best post some pictures when it arrives

Well I've taken the plunge and gone for the P182. I realise that the newer P183 may have a slightly better cooling potential but I don't think it looks as clean and it costs a fair premium over the 182.

Whilst I don't exactly *need* this case it puts me in a much better position to upgrade my graphics when I feel the need and i've had to drop my CPU speed to 2.8 for stability

With a hopefully hot summer coming, I'm hoping the improvements over the P150 will help keep things cool and maybe even get me back up to 3.2ghz!

Im also looking to get one of these cases. You say when the rack is removed any card should fit, but would I be able to fit 2 4890s in here?

Sorry I asked this question in the other p182 thread but this one looked more appropriate

I believe so. You can get two 3 1/2" drives in the bottom cage (where the PSU is).

The middle drive cage ends at the bottom of the motherboard so you can put as many full length cards are your board will take

I had 4870 and now have gtx360 216, no probs with length. Have 1x \DVDRW and 3x SATA hdds in there too!

I am also a bit of an antec fan, they have shipped me (for free) 2 new front panels out of the 3 antec cases I own. The P182 front, and the solo front too!

I'm going to swap all the stock fans but in particular, I'm having problems removing the stock fan in the lower chamber.. any ideas?

it slots in sideways then pulls out - the bit that pulls out is the brace that the fan screws onto itself!
