I'm almost done putting together my final part build list, and I've been looking at the Antec P182, but I didn't like the lighter color, I prefer solid black exteriors. I've been primarily focused on ordering from Newegg and Microcenter, so all I've seen is a sort of mainly greyish (which I assume is what "gun metal black" looks like) looking case you can see here:
Well today I go and check Amazon and I see a black version of the case which you can see here:
I know there's a P182 SE which has the shiny, mirror-like panels, but these aren't the SE models. Are there really two other versions of the P182, one a true black, and one an off-black? Or is it just a lighting difference or some other effect? I thought it might be lighting, but the contrast in color around the front USB ports in the NewEgg version makes it look like it's really a different color.
P182 - Different color schemes?

The P182 only comes in gun metal grey but the original p180b shipped in silver and black. I don't know if the p180 is still manufactured/available but the latest p180 i had my hands on actually included the p182-like modifications (like easier cable management).
So if you can find a p180 black somewhere unless you are very unlucky you will get a black "p182".
Hope it helps !
