My Antec P180 Wiring Job

[Burner27]

Install took about 4.5 hours from an Antec Sonata to this thing. Sheesh---wasn't easy but well worth it. I have since removed the drive trays from the center HDD rack to allow better airflow.

The wiring job was going great up until I added my SATA drives. Then the "wheels came off" so to speak and now it just turned into a mediocre wiring job.

Enjoy--

Looks real good. I hope I can have my wiring under control like that when the time comes.

Looks clean as hell man. Good job. Mine are almost as good as yours, but I need to work harder. Too bad that I don't have my digicam now. Could be months before I get mine back.

Very nice, good job. The outcome was really worth your effort.

Thanks for the pics, I just got my P180 today and have been thinking about modding and how to wire it for a while.

Nice job man I got the 180 today and we'll see how good of a wiring job I can manage.

Take note of pics #5 & 7 - the combo of PC P&C 510 + P180 is a nasty chore when it comes to using a full length card in the last PCI slot _and_ when your motherboard (such as my Epox) has the 24pin motherboard connector on the other side (I/O side) of the CPU socket.

The thickness of the black mamba power supply cables and the exit location on the power supply makes for an unyielding fit when trying to snake them through the existing hole in that P180.

But after the Dremel cutting wheel is put away and your system is built and purring along silently, it's all good
