You won't be able to use the top x4 HD bays, but theres still room for x4 HD in the bay at the bottom

If you get this case, please tell me what it's like as I'm like | ---- | <- That close to buying it

I see.. well thats oki i guess but i have had to remove the riveted ' brace' that holds the bottom fan to make way for the Enermax Galaxy 1000W psu as i was struggling to put it in. I was going to move the bottom fan forward to the front a little where the bottom h/drive drawer is located... looking at it now it seems the top four h/drive bays could be moved further forward with a little modification though. Mine is the P182 'special Edition' mirror finish... does that differ slightly in any way apart from asthetics?

So far:
----------------------------------------------

Antec P182 Special Edition
Intel QX 6700 Core 2 Extreme LGA775 Kentsfield
Abit IN9 32 x MAX
2 x 1GB Cell Shock DDR2 PC 8000 Dual Channel
Enermax Galaxy 1000w PSU
2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC2

Looks like a beast to me - and I don't think there are any differences INSIDE the SE of P182

Hey Marky... the case looks great... the black interior especially looks cool let alone the mirror finish outside... ill guess its gonna take some elbow grease to keep clean tho. BTW i can use the bottom hard drive slot in the upper bay with these grafix cards and also bottom slot in bottom bay so everythings cool there... no pun intended
