Thats probably is the best bet. Either a good portable room air cleaner, and or (both) whole house filter on the furnace.
But admire the filter you got on your rig, your on the right path.

The power LED is fully visible with door closed (not obstructed by door) And the hard drive LED is bright enough so it can be seen flickering through the side vent with door closed, depending upon the angle. Also with the lights off in the dark, it flickers so bright through the vent that it reminds...

That was the easiest piece of hardware to install,(besides the other drives & fans)for me!
Just use a little finesse, and a steady hand helps.

IF you really can't stand the noise, you could also of course relocate the PC to another room, basement or even garage, and or operate it by remote using adequate cable lengths.

These are the best replacement fans for the money...http://www.jab-tech.com/YATE-LOON-120mm ... -3472.html

However, there are some who claim that they can't get enough RP's out of them.

Reminds me of my old Supermicro,..http://www.virtual-hideout.net/reviews/ ... ro_sc750a/

Its still a great case that stood the test of time.
Maybe I should resurrect it one more time?
I slapped a set of castors on it, at least it pushes nice now.
The fans are a little loud though.

Maybe equipped with a fanless and very quiet, ultrachill water cool? (Or the provisions for it) Would be a nice start to a new series, (or an end) to a great line of cases.

I heard the Yates are the way to go, directly into the motherboard would be logical..
I myself am considering any 120mm fan(s) So long as it has three wires and plugs into the mobo headers.

Well, they changed the bands, you can call Antec and get replacements. Do a search, there's plenty of threads around.


Either that, or else Antec needs to incorporate and deploy "mini air bags", or "safety nets" near the bottom of the case!

Thats new to me! The 180 is a nice sturdy quiet case.
Go for it! Unless you can find a cheaper P160. Let your pocketbook be your guide.

A P180 with a window? Hmmm? That would be defeating the purpose of an already great case. I don't think that it is meant to have a window anyway. But I guess anythings possible?

Well, Its a matter of taste and opinion.
However, I had the silver until Antec sent me the new front panel and sides in black (panels warped) and to me it now looks more warm, bold, and elegant in black.
Its like a black sportscar, etc.

The Antec P180, is an excellent case for the money. All the bugs have been worked out. It is fully configurable, clean & quiet.
And YES! I would definitely buy one, either as my main case or a brand new upgrade.
The only minus is that its heavy, but I can deal w/that.

You may have to get back to them on that.
When I ordered mine, they referred to it as a "front panel"
I too was wondering if they would have sent me the bezel attached but they did.
Just write them back and explain to them you need the bezel as well, since they are a matched set with the door.
