i did some web checking, seems that with the 182 this is the only color.
the 180 i think had 2 optional colors.

i received my new antec p182 today. according to it`s pic`s on the web ,and the "piano black" description i saw in some places ,i was sure that it`s color is black. was kind of disappointed to realize that it`s kind of dark silver. (on the box it says: "gun metal black finish"). can it be that it co...

I actually see two Pro82+ 425w units in that list... :P In case they're not available, take a look at the Eco80+ units, as they're a bit cheaper and still excellent quality. A power supply only takes the power used by the system in a given moment, it won't constantly draw its maximum power all the ...

Avoid the 385w unit, it's a strange beast as it has a higher spinning fan, somewhat lower efficiencies and shorter and fewer cables than its 425w cousin. That's the one I usually recommend for low-power systems, and comes at a very tiny price premium. do you mean this one? http://www.enermaxusa.com...

thank you. unfortunately they don`t distribute this model in my country. in this range , from enermax,only those: http://www.zap.co.il/models.aspx?sog=c-powersupply&db135521=135523&db125735=125745&db125735=927760&db125735=125747&db125735=313021&db125735=125751 i have a basic question, i read in some...

i use today,on a very old pc '450w ,although generic one so i suppose it`s not real 450.
i want some spare for future upgrades, and as i read, when a psu work not on it`s peak it is quieter.
any recommendations at last?
and what about the cpu cooling?

made calculation on a special site for it and it came over 400w,
want some spare .

looking for quietest power supply in the range of 500-550 w.
confused between seasonic, enermax, corsair or other.
also, recommendation for a very quiet cpu ( intel i5) cooling.
it`s going to work in antec p-182 case , not for gaming, with a mid level video card .
silent is main goal.

Just wondering, why do you insist on 'fun' instead of 'fan'? Not trying to nitpick but you were just so consistent with it... I would go with whichever is cheaper. The differences will be incredibly small, and you'll be happy with either case. sorry, mistake. English is not my original lang. maybe ...

Hello everyone, You guys are doing a pretty good job of comparing the two cases on your own, but you can check out the flyer of the P183 to check out the main differences between the P182 and P183: http://www.antec.com/pdf/flyers/P183_EN_flyer.pdf Thanks. thank you but it gives only a general spec....

so with how many funs do you work now with the 182.? i understand you are not using the upper fun . think i`ll go for the 182. i`m not planning oc, and not going to use a demanding video card, so i believe that heat will not be an issue. i feel that the 182 is more sealed case and can give me more p...

the thing is that i`m planning not to use the upper fun at all.
but i`m not going to use a very demanding graphic card.

so we already have 3 points that potentially can make more noise getting out from the 183, compare to the 182 (assuming that air flow isn`t an issue, and they use same fun`s, psu and cooling). 1.the top fun issue and everything around it. 2.more openings in the front door. 3.location of the bottom f...

[quote="danimal"]the p182 is a great case, you can't go wrong with either one of 'em... of course the snount isn't quiet,- do you meann the snout of the 183 ? because it has holes in it :lol: what people do is tape it up on the inside, put cardboard in there, etc... what i did was just cover it with...

i read in several places that the core i5 runs usually not so hot, surly compare to the i7 and even to earlier intel cpu`s. i hope i understood it right. and since i`m not planning o.c or demanding gaming i hope it`ll work fine (please correct me if i`m wrong). can you please specify about this? : i...

i`ve already understood that there is not a clear cut choise here. i`m not a serious gaming or overclocking. (right now it`s only for my 8 years daughter games, and no o.c at all, but i believe that the case will stay for a while, i`m not of those who change those things frequently). i`ve already re...

they still sell in my country the p-182 as new, slightly cheaper then the 183.
do you suggest by that the 182 will be the best choice for my purpose ?

did somebody had an experience with the lian lee pc-b25b case, let say, compare to the antec 182?

the solo was one of my options.
from my readings they should be quiet the same, in this subject.
i just don`t like the look of the solo.

I realize that people here has already gave a lot of opinions , and estimations, about this subject, and maybe they don`t want to start with all of this again. I know that cases doesn’t make noises, that`s why I wrote potentially . If it would be ,as you suggested, “P182 significantly less expen...

Hello there.. I`m in a stage of pre- buying p-182/3 case. (read, heard about most of the others, and it comes between those 2). Since I’m not planning to use very demanding components (not for gaming) my main concern isn`t about air flow, but having a case that will potentially give me the most si...

[quote="Olle P"] (At least not compared to the completely closed and noise foam insulated door I used on my previous case.)

which was?
the 182?

hi,
Hope this tread is still “aliveâ€

thank`s for your respond. yes, as i continue reading they all say approximately the same as you. this is my "tragedy" 8) .for my current gear, the solo will be good, i`m planning only one 1tb hdd (of course it can be change in the future),and mid level gpu with passive cooling. the only thing, as i ...

p.s

Budget is approximately up to the p-182,3 price.
I know that silent system comes from silent components and funs, working on it as well.
Btw, there is no a editing option here?

after doing some reading, my dilemma is mainly between the antec solo, antec p-182 and the nzxt hush. We have some hesitation with the color of the solo front. On the other hand, the main hesitation about the 182 (which is of course more expensive) is that I read here, in some forum discussions, tha...
