Antec P-180 comp. PSU thread

[JerryT87]

Hi all;

Anybody have this case yet? Please list here what power supply you are using and how well the cables fit, especially the ATX. My case should be here Monday, and it looks like you're gonna need a PSU with a nice long ATX cable to get a nice installation.
Thanks.

might be a bit early to ask coz not too many ppl have gotten the case yet. Mine is on the way though. I'd like to get a fanless PSU for it, but the only one that can generate enough power is the Antec Phantom 500, and it cost at least $150, and i don't know if it'll be safe to remove the fan (like a warning beep if there is no fan connected). I'd like to use the 12mm case fan to cool both the HDDs and PSU.

After looking at almost every PSU available, I decided to go with a 570 watt Skyhawk PSU to replace my Antec True480. It conforms to ATX 2.0, has removable cables, a nice aluminum case, and is VERY quiet- the fans won't even spin if the PSU temp is below 40 C.

Most Zippy PSUs have server-length cables if it turns out that case really needs it (better long cables than extensions - I read a PSU review recently where adding the factory-supplied 24-20 pin adapter cable dropped the 3.3V from fine to out of spec on one or more of the wires). And Zippys are 'creme de la creme' - right up there with PCP&C and Seasonic.

Antec's S12-500 seemed very good to me. Hey, the Antec P-180's supposed to have enough room for it, what with its huge size.
