Antec P180 Almost Here...

Stack up against, mentioned in the same breath

I think Lian-Li and all the other high-end manufacturers will end up building equivalent cases.

Voodoo Rufus · Jun 3, 2005

I would be willing to bet it will be a great craze.

lowfat · Jun 4, 2005

Looks a little too small and packed for my liking. Don't think it would a very good watercooling case.

whitebloodcell · Jun 4, 2005

I love this case, but as lowfat said, not much room for WC Kit? Where is a dual HC gonna go?

I thought possibly, if you mounted HDDs in the upper chamber's rack, remove the bottom HDD rack and mount the Radiator sideways in that compartment infront of the PSU, though I imagine tube routing to there would be a problem.

johan851 · Jun 4, 2005

I was thinking the same thing myself. Not a wonderful water case, but wonderful for air cooling.

whitebloodcell · Jun 4, 2005

Indeed, it is awesome for air cooling, but Ive got a Thermochill 120.2 and some nice San Ace fans just waiting to be used. There must be some more options. It seems a shame to hack up such a nice case. You could put two 120mm Fans in Series possible in that lower region also.

Or for major stuff, cut a hole though the dividing beam, and remove quite alot of the front bezel, and put one in the front.

Hmm... i dont know whether to get this or a Lian Li. :eh?:

whitebloodcell · Jun 5, 2005

Does anyone think that a PA160 could be fit into that lower drive cage area? Ive just been doing some reading up on it and I have to say my Thermochill 120.2 is looking pretty outdated. I feel like such a fool, I only just got that. Have to resell.

Janus67 · Jun 5, 2005

When is the ETA for this case? Anyone know?

whitebloodcell · Jun 5, 2005

Released on 14th July in the UK, I imagine similiar time for the US.

Janus67 · Jun 5, 2005

thanks.

Capt_Caveman · Jun 5, 2005

Actually, computerhq supposedly has two in stock. Based on their resellerratings though, I'll wait til techonweb or someone else gets them. Hopefully, it'll be this week.

Europe is normally 2-3 weeks after release in North America.

AntecRep, excellent, you might be able to answer this. Is the black spcr version ever going to be released in Europe.

mxa · Jun 7, 2005

It appears that AxentMicro has them in stock:

whitebloodcell · Jun 7, 2005

Thats a really good price, and they ship internationally aswell

Psycho Russian · Jun 7, 2005

Wow great case but to bad it will be in israel after 5 months probebly :'(

AntecRep · Jun 7, 2005

I have no idea in Europe who will have the Black/SPCR version. Not being privy to those discussions but I think SPCR has a lot of say in who sells that version.

AntecRep

whitebloodcell · Jun 7, 2005

I couldnt get an answer out of anyone at the spcr forums.
