Enough room for a fan controller behind the Antec P180 door?

Post by TailsNZ » Sat Jul 23, 2005 2:10 am

I was about to order a fan controller (like http://www.xoxide.com/xcontroller.html) but thought perhaps there isn't enough room under the P180's door to fit knobs?

I was wondering if there was much room, and if anyone else uses a controller (which one?) with this case.

Thanks very much!

I see there's some more expensive models like this one which don't have knobs, but the screen seems a real waste on a case with a door ;)

I just got through installing the Sunbeam Rheobus (RHK-BA) in my P180 and there is no problem in closing the door. The knobs protrude 1/2 inch from the faceplate of the rheobus.

Ah that's good to know, thanks. The knobs on that one look like they stick out quite far too, so there must be plenty of room.

I have modded the controller for a Zalman 7000 CNPS Cooler on the front under the cage door of my P180 and it fits - just. The door is a little flimsy, mine came with little bent in the middle, I have noticed in other forums a lot of people complaining about the door (on what is overall an awesome case).

Cheers
