I just ordered two of these for use in the top panel of my Cosmos. When they arrive and are installed, I will post first impressions in this thread. I'm very anxious to receive these, as I've been waiting for someone other than YL and Aerocool to make 140mm fans. The YL's had bearing noise issues i...

Very nice setup

I found the idle noise of a single Samsung P80 irritating so swapped it for a T166. Still no joy so ended up buying a Scythe Quiet Drive.

Didn't make much difference until MikeC suggested I put the Quiet Drive on foam. Can't hear it now (thank God).

Ok, I'll agree with you, it does look cool

I think my idea would have been better as you could have used an undervolted fan

Hi! I am new on this (great) forum. I have one simple question. Is there any way to get new side panel for Antec P182? Because mine is damaged/broken. Those plastic "clips" are broken. If the case is less than three years old, you can contact them via their website to request a replacement panel. Y...

if you hate fans, why not try a little mod i did: mount your power supply externally, while utilizing the rear fans like: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g319/stranx44/IMG_0848.jpg works wonders for keeping temps down, since the psu itself radiates heat inside. I think you should post your own th...

Thankfully after a lot of searching I finally found that they're called P-Clips here. Really needed to find that name as there is a huge variety of cable clips out there so 'cable clips' alone really wouldn't help, plus modding the ones I've found wasn't really a realistic option. Anyway now my onl...

How do I turn the AAM on? I tried Maxtor's tools but couldn't find it. The QuietDrive is soft-mounted in a 5 1/4" bay by using the drive rails with screws and the HDD silicone spacers inbetween the rails and QD case. Have you tried resting the QuietDrive on foam to see if it cuts out noise/vibratio...

Is the Quietdrive resting on foam or screwed in to the case?

IMO the fan should be ok for the PSU as long as you're not stressing it?

I would advise you do a fan swap to quieten a decent PSU.

I'm currently using a Seasonic Tornado 400W with Sharkoon Golfball 120mm at 7v.

Enermax Noisetaker 480 is running fanless in the bottom chamber of a P180 with the lower chamber fan doing the cooling.

I agree Black does look nice, but Antec like to charge extra for it

Is that a HD and DVD on the same IDE channel?

What do you think of the NorthQ?

Ta.

Thanks for the pictures, Stefan! It looks pretty good in this picture: http://photo15.yupoo.com/20071204/155845_631436481_oyvgztld.jpg :D Too bad the front door and top arrow vent are too hideous. ;( Anyone else notice the new redesigned (less restrictive) filter doors? Yes, after you pointed it ou...

Number 1 looks nice in my opinion. You can also mount side fans - 120mm (2) or 80mm fans.

Hi

I believe a lot of people have replaced the fans. I have a P180 - only the top fan section has two metal clips, all the others use screws or the fan mounts (front and lower chamber).
Setup may be different for the P182 though.

Found it

Price is £72.50 + delivery though

I've been using this as a testbed for the past few years. It's super-easy to swap out hardware, and runs very quiet: http://www.black-talon.org/pics/2/Tech_Stn_01_0800.jpg Can I ask a favour please? Could I have dimensions of the case (or whatever you want to call it)? I want to setup something sim...

Er em, am I missing something

Why is this thread posted in General Gallery?

A very good point, LOL.

Any shortcuts to learning how to get that thin & even spread? I've never succeeded in spreading a tiny blob over the IHS or other. However, a couple of weeks ago I read about someone spreading the blob by using their finger (in a food bag). Arctic do have good instructions on their website - have y...

An 80mm fan on 5v or 7v seems to cool my fanless northbridge cooler quite well (thank God). I have an A8N SLi Premium, reapplied paste to the heatpipe cooler but temp was still hitting 40C so I mounted an 80mm fan which seems to have done the trick. Now at 32C. I also pointed a fan at a Zalman coole...

hm gives me so many ideas :) not pretty ones but it really doesnt matter. the fun tac technique is a bit scary though! kinda not solid. I have a suggestion: use HIGH temp hot glue. there are two types. regular craft and high temp for a bit more and its not clear (ugly). Rubber doesnt vibrate, right...

Nothing else! The screw does the job. Have been using it for months without problems (thank God)

With its straight-through design, this seems like an ideal power supply for the Antec P182. I cant find much info on it though. Anyone have any thoughts on this or experience with this power supply? Check the original P180 review - the one Ralf Hutter did. He used a Seasonic Super Silencer and the ...

It's a P182 in that case
