P182 vs 900

Went for the P182SE in the end. I have one HDD and one GFX card (8800 GTS), so space isn't a problem. The cable management and looks of the 182 appealed to me, the extreme cooling of the 900 wans't needed as i'm not planning on seriously overclocking, though if I was i'd probably watercool anyway, which the 182 can do quite well if I wanted it to. I'm sure the cooling in the 182 will be miles ahead of my Akasa Zen, which was the aim to improve on.

Thanks for all the info guys.

Not a fan of the P180/182 personally, hated it enough that I threw mine in a skip and dropped bricks on it...

The plastic is very shoddy. Luckily i havnt broken anything yet.

I pushed the front door of the Antec 182 back and was greeted by a lovely crack.... thats when the front panel fell off literally hence my review even more biased

Owned my 182 for 6 months now, the case front is open/closed several times on daily basis and nothing fallen off or cracked as yet, and tbh can’t see how it would without ott force applied.

So far I have not had any problems with the P182, very good build from what I have inspected at the moment.
