Sorry about the mini-rant but as far as I'm concerned Antec makes okay items but certainly not as good as I thought they were.
The PSU got flaky right after the warranty period and it was replaced with a Sparkle that cost less and has much better performance even with more hardware.
As far as the P180 the plastic hooks on the side doors are history, the front door is warped again, and now the entire front assembly is broke off from a small child's knee. The case weighs a ton yet is sooooo fragile. It is getting returned and I'm saving up for the Silverstone TJ-07.
Thanks for listening. I'm sure other have better results but for me I done with Antec.
Edit: As far as noise and heat; I have an old server-size case with more HDDs and a hotter GPU that runs cooler and with less noise.
Update: Antec products may have failed me but their customer support seems excellent. They are taking care of my issues in a prompt and professional manner.
