antec p180 and HX620

[UnIrit]

Hi guys,



My third build in 5 years with your help. I've never OC'd but would like to now. Just wondering if the Antec p180 case is ok with the Corsair HX620 (cable lengths, mounting, space etc)?

Planning Gigabyte DS3R, 2G crucial or corsair memory, q6600 or e6750, 8800 gts 320, seagate 750G SATA 7200. Looking for 22" monitor (son has Acer 22" Acer 223WD and loves it). Is Samsung 225BW is any better?

Uses: gaming and small amount of video editing

Thanks!

I use the Corsair 620 with the P182 and it worked great. But the 182P has a slot at the top to run the 8 pin cable behind the mobo and out the top to connect to the mobo. I don't think the P180 has that slot. The P180b might though.

As long as you get P180 v1.1 or P180b v1.1, you'll have the open holes on the top to route your cables.

And I can confirm that the HX620 will have long enough cables to go almost any distance on the motherboard while still looking nice and neat.

I'm using the HX520 and the cables reach fine. I'm also using a DS3, the power connectors are in the same place (at the side) and it plugs in just fine. In fact it's so long I had to tuck it away behind the motherboard tray.

Looks good.

I have the original P180 and had to buy an extension for the 4-pin to route the cable behind the motherboard.
