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

[adam1v]

thanks for that. I cant wait to get one of these!
Is anyone able to summerise the best mods found accross the 17 pages on here? It would save a lot of reading

The best tip i've found so far is hiding all the cables behind the back of the mobo base. looks neat

Also, are the P182 SE just the newer edition P182's as sold by Overclockers or is the SE model found somewhere else on the site?

 

[Parsley]

The SE is a different version. It has a mirror finish on the outside and a matt black interior finish. I'm not sure if they are made anymore but as it was a Special Edition I don't think they are.

The P182s on Overclockers are the normal ones, gun black on the outside and just normal on the inside. Personally I love the matt black on the inside of the SE but the mirror finish wasn't to my taste. It does look pretty cool thought I must admit.

Gah I just snapped one of the tiny little plastic bits on my P182s door, now it won't open fully without falling off. Superglue to the rescue I think.

On another note, do you think I would see much benefit from installing Noctua NF-S12s in the case. That includes popping one in my Tuniq Tower. Any point?

looks liek OcUK dont sell them anymore.

look them up on google, they are p182 with a black interior and a mirror (well very polished aluminium) exterior.

the newer NF-p12 seem to be a much better fan. get those.

and for quietness airflow ratio, they are the best in the world. (imo from reading reviews)

 

[Parsley]

Cheers, I'm on a bit of a silent pc mission at the moment so I will check those out. Didn't realise there was a newer edition.

 

[Parsley]

Just shoehorned a new cooler on my GTX

Is that a 120mm fan you have on that InkZ? I thought it only took 92mm fans... Just attached it differently?

 

[adam1v]

lol, with cable ties by the looks of it

 

[Parsley]

Haha oh aye. I see em now.

Don't forget the Scythe Slipstreams. 1200@5v is damn quiet! As is 800@12v

Before I buy one, can somebody please confirm that the TRUE will fit in this case?

You could contact antec support and they'll send you out a replacement part - unless superglue has sorted it out nicely.

 

[Parsley]

The superglue did the job thanks Vort, luckily the bit that snapped off landed right infront of me. No point in bothering them now really.

Hi guys i have just got my Antec case and just about to fit my Asus P5K premium in. But i have noticed that there is no speaker wire to connect to the mobo. The usual one's are there. RESET SW, POWER SW, POWER LED, and 2 HDD LED"s, but no speaker. Im a little bit puzzled about this, can anyone shed some light.

Thanks.

 

[Big.Wayne]

Yup no speaker. I just added my own. I think its a trend towards using your actual computer speakers for the beeps.

I think its a trend towards using your actual computer speakers for the beeps.

how?

i simply added a speaker i found from some 486 computer, it's HUGE!

 

[DASH]

Thanks for the quick reply. But if you dont add a speaker, how do you find out if the comp is running the right way. How do you go about using your own speakers to listen for the beep..
