Antec p180b is the only one with the fixes?

Enclosures and acoustic damping to help quiet them.

Post by Galvin » Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:26 pm

From what I read around here you have to get the black P180B to get the fixes to the P180 silver. Is there a reason 180B dont come in silver?

I rather not get black incase I scratch it. I have several scratches on my silver lian-li case but I cant see them unless I really look for them.

thanks

It has been covered many many many times on this forum that all P180s in the last few months use the new door design. Unless a vendor sells you some old stock lying around, any P180 you buy is the fixed version.

If you mean the other revisions other than the door, it seems like they are now applying them to all versions of the P180 (the "B" denotes Black colour, not a "version B"). On the P180 review Postscript it says they have revised the original P180 at the top of the article, and at the bottom you can see the picture and barely make out the different colours of the black trim and silver side.

My P180 gave no indication of any fixes, but still had the new door. People have reported that fully revised models now have a "1.1" marking on the box.

Another very recent thread on this

thanks for the info

Well on newgg they only had the 180B as black so thought it was only black then when I looked up 180B on pricewatch all I saw was black.

But like you said if 180 and 180B are exactly the same then i'll get 180 since 180B seems to only be available in black.
