- Was 150 yds from OCUK - now 0.5 mile; they moved
I'm planning on stocking these when they are available. We already have the PSU's in stock 
Anyone else see a shedload of similarity between that and a P180 mini.
Main differences are: no PSU compartment, can have front fans and the HDD bays at the same time, can take ATX, one less 5.25" bay, optional side vent.
I'd have liked having the HDD bays and the fans on my mini. There's a choice of 5 HDD bays OR two 120mm front fans instead. Real shame when the space seems to show both were possible.

I wonder how can anyone compare this to Antec... Maybe Lian Li PC-B10 design/PC-B25 interior mixup, but absolutely not comparable to Antec Mini P180. The only thing this case have common with Mini is the that it has door with vents on sides and it is a computer case. R2 is a full ATX, not divided in compartments, better fan solution (no, i don't consider a 22cm top fan in Mini as a good idea)...

Once again - what does this case have anything common with P180 mini ?
Common things :
Where it totally differs from Antec P180 Mini :
So yes, i can't understand how can anyone compare 2 very different cases and ask about "shedload of similarity" between them. There is very small similarity between those two.
Common things :
- It has a door (like many cases)
- It is a computer case (like many cases )
- It has a PSU on bottom (like many cases)
- It has intake fan(s) on front (like many cases)
- It have top and back outtake vent (like many cases)
Where it totally differs from Antec P180 Mini :
- it is ATX (P180 mini is mATX)
- Power buttons not behind the door
- No compartments
- Totally different internal layout
- Very different external design (taking into account that it is a grey computer case with door).
- More logical top fan size choice.

Yes i did read it. That's the reason why i can't imagine why do you compare it with Antec P180 Mini. It's like saying, "hm, i't very similar except everything is different".
Then just say no?

Any chance of the Fractal Design fans too? Their stuff is pretty sweet.

Nah, I'm quite alright with their 39CFM 9db fans, I'm looking to get some soon.

Nice review by a Swedish site. Google translate lets you get a pretty good idea about the case.
