Moved my computer over to the P180 yesterday and it was a pain in the ass! I've built many computers over the year, but never had this much problems (not booting, no signal to display, dropping SATA-drives and so on), and the cable management, don't speak about out!

Here's the result of a days work (had to take pictures for a review/article during the time also).

Hardware;
Intel Pentium 4 3,73EE
ASUS P5AD2-E Premium
ASUS GeFOrce 6800 Ultra
4 x Maxtor Diamondmax 10 300 GB SATA
Plextor 712SA
3 x Nexus 120mm (bottom at 5V, the two top at 12V)
Zalman 7700CU (at minimum via FanMate 2)
Zalman VF700CU (at 5V)

Is it quiet? Well, for being a non throttling 3,73EE and 6800 Ultra it quiet, but not compared with some other builds, but definetly bearable, the most noisy part of the build as of now are the harddrives, so I think I’ve managed pretty well

That picture is so large, I will use it as a map when I build my system.

I personally fell in love with the external design of the P180 when I first saw it. After reading the review and looking at how the internal design was implemented, I'm definitely going to stay away.

I want nothing to do with a case that is more difficult to work on than a Compaq/HP.

I think most people here ascribe to a different KISS:
