I was bummed when I missed out on the $99 shipped offer a little while ago. Jumped on this offer though!

Hmm...I can't seem to get the free shipping to show up...when I go to checkout it tries to charge me $17...wtf?

Even weirder it tries to charge me $17 for the black case but if I try to buy the Silver one it tries to charge me $6.50...err...what in the world...

Really tempting, but I'm not planning on upgrading until January-ish :x.

Will it likely be this low again anytime soon?

lol I don't know what the hell is wrong with their shipping but right now I have the silver one in my cart and even though it's trying to charge me $6.50 for ground shipping they'll also allow Overnight for $9.64...almost want to order it just to punish them for having Free Shipping that doesn't work, since I know damned well that overnighting a heavy case is going to cost them more than $9.64.

*sigh* but I'm not that evil.

OK...can anyone else confirm this problem so I don't think I'm just crazy? I added some other free shipping stuff to my cart and it shows up with the little free shipping logo but the P180 definitely doesn't have it for either the black or the silver one. But for some odd reason the Silver is cheaper to ship than the Black...

WTF are they doing at Outpost.

I had problems getting mine to show free shipping. I ended up calling their toll-free number, waiting on hold for a good 15+ minutes....then when the rep came on we went through the checkout process. Lo and behold, it showed up as free shipping, I thought maybe I was imagining it showing me a charge for shipping, I was very embarassed. So no, it's not just you, TekDemon

Same problems here when I looked into adding it to my cart. I guess you'd just have to call them to get it straightened out.

This is a really good, classy case that will last you a long while. It's large, but blends in to a room nicely. It can be a bit tricky to work with (with the lower area for HD's and PSU), but it's worth it in the end.

Awesome case. I picked up the silver one from Fry's a few months back for $99. Its heavy is my only complaint but very, very solid!

No kidding! Luckily it's a one-time deal... at least until you upgrade the PSU or motherboard. You really need long cables on the PSU. It quickly gets cramped in the lower section.

I have a black P180 with three 120m fans inside and the 500 watt Phantom PSU. It's definitely very quiet.

I have this case also and can attest to its quality construction. It's beautiful and quiet. As mentioned it is more difficult than other Antec cases to work with because of the PSU placement at the bottom. With the lack of a removable motherboard tray you really have to think ahead of time about where all your cables go.

With my Gigabyte DS3, most of the connections: USB, power switch, reset switch, LEDS, and even the SATA ports are located on the bottom portion of the motherboard. I found out the hard way that you should do almost all these connections prior to mounting the motherboard onto the case.
