Beware of rebates. They are inherently designed to be forgotten, lost, stolen, or improperly submitted. I can't trust a company that uses such tactics, regardless of how reliable their rebates may be..

Are you talking about rebates in general or this one in particular?

Does anyone know if the door is easily removeable? I don't much like the door, but I really like the looks of the rest of the case. It seems fans would have a hard time breathing through the door. (Or rather, does it swing all the way back to the side, a full 270 degrees?)

And since this is pretty much half the price of a Stacker STC (after rebates, or at least nearly), I think I may go for it.

It actually breathes pretty well with the door closed.

I see now that the door sits a little in front of the case with little holes in the sides of it. Neat!

Eeee. $90 AR (tax included, free shipping) for me. All I have to do is push the button...

The P180 is a really sweet case. I'd make sure to buy the V1.1 (don't know if they make a white 1.1, I know the P180B comes in 1.1) so you get better side panels and door, and a couple of other small enhancements.

You can also add another 120mm fan if you want better airflow.

So how do we know if these are rev 1.1? The silver is definitely 1.1 but it's questionable whether the black is?

How do you know the silver will be ver 1.1 for sure?

Almost pulled the trigger on black but if I didn't get the rebate I would rather have a P182! (I don't own a dremel yet..)

The black model wasn't released until after the second Revision AFAIK/Remember.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, it's highly unlikely that any of the first revision cases are left. They have been phased out for several months. I haven't read any report of anyone buying a first revision case from a major retailer or B&M in at least a few months.

There are already threads about this if you search.
Rest assured, it's highly unlikely that you will get an old revision case.

Edit:
I looked into it, and my memory was half-right. The black model was originally a special model only branded to SPCR (who helped design the case)

Here's info on the new revision FROM Silentpcreview.com:

"POSTSCRIPT: V1.1

June 15, 2006 by Devon Cooke

Time passes and products evolve. It's been almost a year since the P180 was first released to much fanfare along with SPCR's longest review ever (in three parts). Antec has finally released the black model of the P180 to the general public (previously, it was an SPCR-exclusive product). At the same time, they revised the original P180 to address several minor issues that arose after the case was released:

* The VGA duct has been removed entirely.
* Vented PCI slot covers have been added to improve airflow around the VGA cards.
* New fan clips that allow a 120mm fan to be mounted directly in front of the VGA cards are included.
* The power supply channel is now cooled by a standard Tricool fan; the original 38mm thick fan is gone.
* The silicone padding around the power supply frame has been improved.
* The front door is now made of the same 3-ply material that is used in the rest of the case, resolving warping issues with the door.

These changes are minor and do not warrant another full review. However, they do affect my original conclusions about the case, especially where the VGA duct is concerned, so it is worth giving them a quick look.

My biggest criticism about the original P180 was the fact that the VGA duct was noisy, ineffective, and complicated installation. Using somewhat strong language, I advised users to avoid this particular feature: "I cannot think of any configuration where I would not remove the duct entirely." Apparently, Antec (and SPCR's editor, Mike Chin, who helped design the case) was listening. The VGA duct has been dropped entirely in favor of a much simpler and, hopefully, more effective system.

I'm thinking about this deal also ... If you jump I jump hehe =oP Btw, can you still install the hard disks in the top drive cage with the fan in the back? If not then isn't that just stupid?

You're wrong. My friend and I got in on the $80 P180 deal at bestbuy.com last week, and we both received version 1's. Also, we went to MicroCenter yesterday since they had just gotten a P180 in from their warehouse, and it was also a version 1. We also went to CompUSA, and They had ONE v1.1 and TWO v1's.

Needless to say, I was surprised at just how difficult it's been to obtain a revised P180 (Silver) from ANY of the major retailers, at least here in Cleveland. My buddy is still stuck with his rev.1 since we can't find a second 1.1 anywhere.

I think most retailers still have the Rev.1's since their warehouses stock them way ahead of time. As for Best Buy, I found it ironic that the case went out of stock a while back online, then came back in stock, and it was STILL the rev.1 version. It basically proves that it was never really "out" of stock at Best Buy to begin with, since they surely didn't get rev.1's straight from Antec at this time.

Still debating...

But not anymore. Ordered the P180B a little over ten seconds ago. $130, with tax, but free shipping. Yay! So AR, $90.
