Pics of my new Antec P180!!

[GI Ho]

Cheers for the updated pics. You seem to keep things very simple.

I got a lot of cable management to do with my current setup and the Antec P180.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Damn fine pictures, still working with my cable management.... far from yours. :frown:

Here's mine. My first time trying to do cable management... don't flame!

Can we all say this dude Roxs???
Nice work!!!
I love attention to details!!

 

[JBDan]

Antec/Scythe should use some of these pics in an advertisement of some sort. Nice Dynamix.

Hey are you running those CM fans at max, or are they undervolted?

You can try pointing a door-fan at it. It'll work wonders. The only problem is that it'll generate a lot of dust towards the card if you go unfiltered, but that can be corrected by hosing it off with canned air once a month.

Hey Dynamix,

The only desktop interior I have seen being more organized than this is a G5. As others have suggested I imagine Antec would benefit from posting similar types of pictures on their website.

How loud have you found the truepower II 550 to be in this rig? Have you found it to be louder or quieter than the 120mm case fans? What RPM has your power supply fan been spinning at? I am hopping no more than 1000 rpm given that it is getting cool air from the bottom of the case.

It's a Scythe Ninja... And depending on the ambient temp of my room, it usually gets between mid 40's to mid 50's running fanless, and I am overclocked to 2.6Ghz @ 1.55v

My previous heatsink was the 7000B Zalman.

dynamix could you take a pic of the right side panel off ? and why did you go from CM fans, to YateLoons, to CM fans again?

(side question, which do you like better the CM or the YL? and do you have a front fan intake?)

I had taken pics with the sidepanel off before, they are somewhere in this thread. First I had CM LED fans, I went with the Yate Loons to replace all of my LED fans. The Yate Loons are an excellent fan, but I do not like the fact that they are orange, and even more I don't like the fact that they have molex connectors and 3pin connectors attached to them. So I went back to the CM fans since they are quiet, look nicer, and only use a 3 pin connector with the 4 pin molex being option to attach.

And yes I have an intake fan. It is also a Coolermaster. You just cannot see it because of the black bracket that is blocking it.

Ha, that would be great... And an honor.

The fans are hooked up to my fan controller... So I adjust them accordingly.

Sorry I took so long to respond Dynamix but I've been out of town.

Wow, what a great final revision (if there IS such a thing) to your project. SUPERB job as always !!!

I still have a couple of questions concerning your routing of the 12v cord and the Athena extender but I won't bother you here with that.

THANKS for the update !!!

wow.. I do hope i will be able to pull off this off.. I worked in cramped area but this one is going to be a battle.
Espically with the PSU woes which is my biggest concern.

Pic of mine before I put in the proc and heatsink.

I was doing fine on cables until I put in the slot adapters for rear usb, firewire, and diagnostics. I don't really need any of that crap, might remove it.

SLI, 6 hard drives, a floppy, 2 optical drives, audigy 2, and the two rear slot adapters = A LOT of cables to deal with.

This thread has been a great read.. especially watching the evolution of Dynamix's rig. ;-)

I've been deciding to purchase the P180 after reading reviews of it on NewEgg.com and around the web, but more ascertain now having read all these praises.

Dynamix, you still satisfied with it.. you're not planning to upgrade more now are ya? Are there any things you've noticied about the case since purchase that still bug you?

This might be a hefty request, but can you list every purchased component inside your system that didn't come with the Antec P180? It's hard to find the latest version of your PC since details are scattered around, and your signature lists only the glamorous items. I'm going to edge for building a system somewhat like yours, though less powerful (and probably not as tidy).

Anyone know if Antec have plans of releasing a version 2, or successor, of this case (fixing any complaints within the last 5 months), or one with a clear side-panel? Anytime soon, that is.

I have AMD64 3200 & P180. I want to buy the Scythe Ninja running in passive.
I also want to overclock mine to 2.4ghz and will leave my top & rear 120mm fans on low.
Also have another 120mm fan blowing from middle HD cage.
Will this be ok?

 

[Novercalis]

bump:

dynamix, what is your current setup in the case (provide update pics)

how many fans are you using and where?
did you seal anything off? (example, no top fan, sealed off)

 

[Beefy6969]

Woot!
I am now part of the P180 & Ninja family.
OMG, I swear that these two go together! Passive baybee!!

welcome to the clubl...
anandtwech forums seems dead as of late....

 

[Burner27]

Even though I have seen reviews and I do currently own a Thermalright XP90c, I was wondering if I would get better temps with a Scythe Ninja.

Currently, I am getting these temps @ 73F ambient temp:

CPU Idle: 33c
CPU Load: ~44-48c

Mobo Idle: 28c
Mobo Load: 33c

This is my current setup:

Asus P5WD2 Premium WiFi/TV Tuner
Pentium 4 840 3.2 Extreme Edition
2GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 PC5400
BFG 7800GTX OC
2 x Plextor PX-716a DVD Burner
1 x 300GB Maxtor DM10 16MB cache SATA
1 x 300GB Seagate
2 x Hitachi 400GB
SB X-Fi XtremeMusic
Onboard 10/100/1000 NIC

wow, just wow...

great job on that case.
