*Official* Antec P182 Case's,Builds,Modifications & FAQ's

guys, im fitting a Corsair hx620 into the p182, ive screwed it in with the cage around it, did you screw the psu into the case at the back aswell?
 
I managed to fit all 4 that came with the Corsair, the P182 has enough holes to make it possible to mount the PSU either way up.
 
il get some more pics uploaded tonight mate

the inside looks neat but the back is an absolute mess! the panel just about managed to fit on, was tight though

excellent cooling on this, and the case fans on low are very quiet

now this is done, im not sure what else to do with it!

case is very heavy though moving it back and fourth under my desk on carpet is a nightmare
 
Hi peeps,

First message in the forum but I have been lurking for a while.
Anyway I bought a P182 last week but have a few issues you maye be able to help with,
1. I stripped my mobo etc out of my old case and transferred it across but no image on my screen, all the fans worked and the HD started to spin but that was it nothing else no beeps, no graphics nada. I have ordered a cheapo PCIx graphics card to check if mine died in the transfer, anyone had this happen before?

2. I bought an Asus DRW-2014L1T 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter from OCUK of course (typical it's on 1 week special now :)) when I tried t fit it into the P182's 5.25 driave bays with the rails it stands proud by about 10mm when the rail is in the locking slot, I have the drive on the last set of holes possible there's no way I can get it any closer to the back of the drive, anyone had this before?

Hope one of you can help,

Martin

Sounds like the something could be shorting out. When you first power on the PC, is the graphics fan staying on full speed permanently, or does it calm down? (Not all cards power up like a maniac to begin with).
What I would do, is strip your components to the ground and build again, also look for any debris that could be shorting it, and make sure absolutely everything is plugged in correctly.

I have this same thing with my DVD drive, cant get it to go the whole way in, I cant find any way of getting it to go further. However, I found it to be quite useful to access the drive, since the 'overhang' on the top of the door is quite big.
 
Hmm, the card is a 8600gt doesn't have a fan.

I stripped everything back unplugged the HD's etc so only the GC and CPU were running but still nothing, no beeps etc. Guess I will have to wait until the cheapo card arrives and test to see if the GC died.

Shame about the DVD drive not fitting hope I'm not going to get anymore suprises with this case :)

Thanks for the quick reply Shaun.
 
Well can't solve the issues so had to take the plunge and buy new mobo and cpu, just a quick question if anyone has a Corsair HX 620w PSu and an Abit IP35 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard am I going to need any cable extensions for the PSU, would like to get these before the mobo arrives so I can build and not have to hang around too long chasing cable bits.
Thanks.
