I am in love with my new P180... I just got it today, and spent half the day transfering all my hardware from my old CM Stacker, into this beauty.

Only thing I can hear right now is my 6800 ultra fan, that thing is insanely loud. But that will be fixed soon, because I ordered a Zalman VF-700 to replace it...
Anyway here is some pics I took of my case for now, I might take some better ones tomorrow. Cable management in this case is harder than I had even imagined. It took me forever to get everything set up perfectly how I want it. I got almost no wires showing now, and it looks excellent!

would it be easy to mod a windowed side panel for that? otherwise it looks like an awesome case design.

initially, it was to see if you could show me your work on a loaded p180 -- but what's the fun in just saying that? now, it's to say that no one can make that case look neat with all the hardware i mentioned. we both know you can [and will do] a good job. at most, that is as you said, a "good wiring job" -- your "best wiring job that you could possibly do to have it nice and neat." there's this incredibly amazing programmer at my work -- very smart. but he can't speak english for crap. how about i tell him to write me the best english essay that he could possibly do.
no offense d-man. it was mostly just to egg you a bit. i was just horsing around. if you found it funny, or at least wondered if it might've been funny, that's a bonus. i didn't mean to be so crafty as to hit a nerve.
sorry no pictures, i don't own the case. i am one of many [cheapskates] who simply want it. you did such a neat job i vacariously fell in love. just that the lack of peripherals didn't do me in head over heels. and when you're young... what's falling in love if it ain't swept off your feet and fall head over heels in love?
i wasn't comparing your case to anything... but i do have that image in my head. when you suggested that i buy you the parts so i can see how good of a job you can do with the p180... that was to be funny, right? :laugh: after all, the biggest perk of getting the p180 is that you get to build it yourself.
i wasn't trying to make you look stupid. we can all do that well enough on our own . with respect, there will be nothing further from me. i hold my peace

Possibly he bought the zalman cooler without the LED`s!!
You can buy them both ways now!!

Jedi, I already answered otis's question; dynamix3D is no longer even using the Zalman to cool his CPU; he's using a Scythe Ninja in fanless mode. See his latest pics a few pages back.

...I installed it into my system today and it came out pretty good. Not as good as my old Coolermaster since the cables are shorter, and aren't sleeved either... I decided to leave the wires unsleeved.
Anyway here is a picture of how it looks installed in my system.
Antec P180 with TruePower-II 550W installed...
The 4 pin motherboard connector wasn't long enough to hide behind the motherboard. That really is the only thing I wish I could change. Everything else is fine with me though. If only that cable was about 2" longer, I coulda got it under the motherboard.

Have you thought of using one of the cable extension kits like this silverstone ??? This would give you the extra 2" you need. Also, for less money, NewEgg carries the Athena brand of P/S and 12V extenders SEPERATELY so you only have to purchase one of the other if you don't need to purchase both. I can't link to NewEgg right now because their server is under routine maintainance.
Also, can you provide us with lots MORE pics of the case from the various angles and such as you have in previous posts ???

Hey Dynamix, why'd you switch the power supply from the Coolermaster to the Antec?
And you mentioned something about bitching? Did I miss a chunk of the thread, entirely? It seems to be misbehaving at the moment.. only getting 5 pages as opposed to 11 or 12 from yesterday.

Hey I went ahead and ordered that Athena 12v extension. Since I didn't really need the ATX 24pin extension, I decided not to get the Silverstone, even though its nicer since it has black connectors.
And I guess if you want more pics, I can take some later on, or I can just take them after I install the 12v extension.

I'm glad you ordered the Athena 12V extender and I hope it works well for you.
And YES, please post more detailed pics from ALL angles AFTER you received and install the Athena 12V extender. THANKS !!!
