I guess none is using one of these in a P180 yet?

Could someone measure the lengths of the 24pin cable and 12v atx cable?

I'm also in the same boat (and almost identical components to the ones you're considering)... Just curious, what are you considering for the cpu fan?

That new zalman (cnps9500) looks very promising.

It looks like it would be possible to mount 2 120mm fans to thi cooler, I'm not sure how much it would boost cooling bbility but I figure it might be worth trying. Anybody want to try it for me?

I'm somewhat disapointed with the vga cooling abilites of the P180. I'm hoping I will able to modify it a bit to get some decent cooling for video card. Anyway, great review. I'm pretty sure I made the right decision for my next case. EDIT: Anyone have an opinion on using an 80mm fan PSU like the ne...

Anyone using one of these in a P180 yet? Seems like a perfect match to me.

The spec by Nvidia for 2 7800gtx's is a minimum of 400w. I guess you are okay with 400w, but why take a chance? Call me crazy, but this seems to be more of a performance system than a silent system, so don't skimp on the psu. EDIT: see this page: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20050622/nvi...

I would ike to get one for my p180. I really wanted to get one with knobs though.

I'm trying to silence my 4 year old Pentium III 800 Mhz for use as an always-on file & web server. It's been just a workstation up to now. It was pretty obvious that the nosiest part was the PSU, so I bought a Seasonic S12-330 (as per the recommended list) from case-mod.com and installed it. Yes, t...

Interesting, I will take a look at both. I'll be using a Lian-Li V1000 Plus, which is why I mentioned the PSU size thing - I've seen reviews say that it won't hold larger PSUs. Also, as an addendum to the original post, I plan on OCing (modestly) if that affects power draw significantly. Definatly ...

Hi! I've read the reviews, I've read the stickies, I've browsed pages of backlog messages - I still have no idea what I should get =P I'm putting together a new gaming PC and I don't need dead silent, but I certainly want it significantly quieter than I have now (which is fairly loud). The computer...

Wow, that really sucks man. When I built my computer, (the first I built for myself, third I've actualy built) I used some paper washers between the motherboard and the screw, just for some extra protection. I can see how easy it would be to get them confused. I hope your other components survived.

I've had my P180 for about a week now, and overall I really like the case. However, when I originally removed the case from the shipping box, I noticed that there was a black (yes, black) scratch on the front panel (swinging door) of my P180. It isn't a huge scratch, so I decided not to worry about...

Nice

What are your thoughts on using a 80mm fan PSU like the new Smart Power 2.0s instead of a 120mm PSU. The Smartpower 2.0 would have a stright shot for the airflow, while airflow with a 120mm psu isn't so straight.

haha, I actualy love the smell of new power supplies/electronics. I think the best was my Harman Kardon AVR-435... That had an incredibly strong smell to it.

II just ordered my P180 today... I've been wanting to get this case to replace my sonata. I'm going to be building a Athlon 64 systme soon with the following specs: CPU: Athlon 64 3700 'san diego' Mobo: DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D Memory: 1gb or 2gb of something, have not decided yet.

get maxtor or seagate drives with NCQ

Does NCQ have to be supported by the motherboard?

I'm considering building up an Athlon 64 System. I need to keep it under 1000.00. Silence is definatly not needed, but I do like a quiet computer. I spent a few minutes looking around and I think the basics will be: Nforce4 Mobo (maybe SLI, though I doubt I would use it.) 939 A64 3000/3200 (not sure...

I have my Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu plugged into the fan headers on the motherboard, not using the fanmate. You can enable q-fan in the bios under system health. (I think thats what its called)
