That's how the first lot of P182 cases were shipped, in P180 boxes. A number of people got them this way.

One mistake you forgot about is it's a P182 not a P180.

There was I thinking 'great another P180 user, maybe loads of mods' :)

The Yate Loon M I have is clear frame and blue led.

It's quiet as a case exhaust (vertical) but didn't like to be run in horizontal (psu fan) mode.

I've tried a Coolermaster 120mm Blue LED - it was ok but not in the same league as the quietest fans I've used.

Yate Loon make a D12SM Blue LED which IMO is quite good.
