So no comments on the p180??

[AndyD2k]

Wonder how cool and quiet the case really is. I'm holding off till I hear some user reviews

 

[RalfHutter]

There's some user comments/reviews over at the www.silentpcreview.com forums. Should be helpful.

Is there a model with a side window?

 

[AndyD2k]

looks like I'm holding off for now until there are more reviews. if it's true what some are saying about the case, then all the rearrangement of hardware did nothing to improve temps

How does this case match up to the CM Stacker? Thermally and Audibly?

Can a P180 owner give me the exact height of the case. On Antec site it is stated 21.3po, but I wonder if this includes the deflector of the top mounted fan or not.

And how the noise, since it is supposed to be part of the Quiet Computing serie?

Thanks,
JTL

Total height, including feet:

1) W/O the top "air deflector" is 20 3/8".

2) With the deflector in place: 21 3/8".

Why would you want a window? That defeats the whole purpose of buying a case made for quiet use... The window would eliminate one of the most useful boundaries for sound.

I'm not really stressed about silence. That's what speakers are for!
I mean, I got fairly quiet fans and everything, but I want a case that looks good. And the P180 looks good, but I cant show-off my insides. If it's really that important, why dont they make a window of double glazed glass. I live near a freight train line, and if the doors and windows on that side of the house are closed, you cant hear the train - so I know for a fact that double glazed glass or whatever they call it works.

Also, The P160 came with a side window, so it makes sense that it's successor would atleast come with the option of a window.

i can live with a little bit of noise. i'm more concerned about temps. seems like a total waste of r&d if all that rearrangement of hardware does nothing but frustrate people when setting up hardware.
