Antec P180, P182, or P183
I abandoned the idea of SOLO because of that piano black. Can't stand it.
Gun black, white, or gray is fine.
Therefore I'm looking into the three Antec cases, of that Performance series: P180, P182, P183.
I read review articles here at SPCR, and so far I figured that P182 has better cable management over it's predecessor P180.
If you were to buy one of those now, what would you go with, if silence is your #1 task.
My configuration is listed under topic 56074 (sorry, cannot post links until I get three posts done)
I believe that the configuration is not any challenge from cooling perspective.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Aside from the apparent aesthetic differences between the three models, there are a few feature differences... I would link to the product flyer, but I can't post links yet... account's too new.
Head to Antec's site and go to the P183 product page (Enclosures > Performance One > P183), then select the Product Flyer link.
I know it's a flyer outlining the whole P183 product, but we did include a section highlighting the differences between the P182 and P183 just for your reference.
Thanks. Maybe once I have more posts, I will post the link directly on here.

You can post a couple "test posts" in THIS section of the forum, if you'd like to get permission to post links.
it's a rather moot question, because the only case out of those three that has wide availability is the p183.
it's also moot because antec has a smoking hot $25 rebate on the p183 at newegg right now, and there is free shipping with it, see the deals section of this website for the link i posted... i say it's hot, because i've never seen antec put a rebate on this case before.
now if the antec rep can only get us a deal on the antec cp-850 power supply (hint hint!!)
the p183 rebate deal was so good that i bought one to replace my p182 with... the most disappointing thing about the p183 is that it doesn't come with the top hat over the vent, but i'll mock something up there instead... the vents in the doors more than make up for that issue.

Ah, I didn't know about that. (I have the P182, myself; got it a little while before P183 came out)danimal wrote: the most disappointing thing about the p183 is that it doesn't come with the top hat over the vent, but i'll mock something up there instead...
You can get yourself something like this filter (except maybe the version for which you don't need steel; IIRC, the top has a layer of plastic)
