Must agree, another very good & tidy build, well done pmk24
Awesome service direct from Antec.
I E-Mailed them on the 3rd July saying that my one of my side panels had come with a little chip out of it, but it was down to my Brother and I messing about, I pushed him, my leg hit a table and knocked it onto the side panel when I was putting the components in the case, I blame him
...
It isn't a huge chip, but things like that bug me! So the guy said to E-Mail him a picture of the chip (above) and a scan of my invoice which I did and today, I receive this...
A brand new side panel, for free
So I'd just like to say, thank you Antec!

I used to have the 24-pin power cable hidden away behind the mobo tray, but I find that the left side panel pushes into it too much when I do that, and I was afraid it might wear down the wires eventually... So now I've got it going directly up the front of the case and the case looks messy with cables all over the place

Has anyone successfully installed an Asus P5Q motherboard in this case? It fits perfect without any gold studs but with them it raises the board too high for the I/O backplate.
Any suggestions please?
edit: never mind, sorted it now.

I installed my P5Q-E and some of the USB ports and the eSATA port are inaccessible. I put it straight onto the stand offs which are already in the case too and the board is still too high or the back plate is cut wrongly, so Overclockers are kindly sending me another P5Q-E back plate to see if that allows me to use the USB ports or atleast I have a spare one to modify.

My motherboard is the standard P5Q. It fits fine into this case with the built in stand-offs and in line with the back plate.
What were you doing wrong, as I maybe doing the same, but all I have done is put the Motherboard on the built in stand offs and screw it in.

You're doing it right, I did it wrong from the beginning. That's all I'm gonna say
Lol, I got you
Yeah, its a bit annoying but hopefully the second back plate will fit, if not atleast I can modify it without worrying about naffing it up and not having a replacement.

On a scale of 1-10 (1 being ****, 10 being awesome), how good do you guys think my P190 cabling is?

But that's a P182.
The motherboard ends near the end of the motherbaord tray, making it easier to hide all your ****.
Unfortunately, the P190's advantage of size only makes cabling harder to hide ><
