Antec p180 questions

[mrgq912]

My concern with the case is the front 120mm grill/vent. In the pics online, I notice that their are 2 120 grills but the specs only read as 1 120 grills.

Also with those 2 grills, how can they work as intake, if there is door in front.

And that brings me to my last question, can the door be removed and how does it look without the door.

For your Thankgiving Day reading pleasure...SPCR...At the bottom of the page you will find a very long but well done part 1&2 review of the P-180 with very good pics. Your questions will find some answers there.

There are many P-180 owners on this forum and most love this case.

Be aware that it does weigh in at 31#s and the door hinges could stand to be a little stronger as they will not tolerate rough treatment.

I like my p180 very much, but the hinges on the doors are really cheap, and because of this the door fell off my case with general use.

I like mine, you can have 2 fans behind those grilles, It just only comes with one...

Thanksgiving means Black Friday, and that means deals to be had.

If you like getting stuff in person I think CompUSA has the P180 for $99 AR.

If you don't mind waiting/mailordering, word out is that Newegg will have this for the same price with rebate and potentially free shipping. If you aren't in a taxed state, then $99 (or $99.99) is all you pay. I'm not 100% sure on the details of this deal. The kicker is that if you have a Discover Card, sign up for their online 5% cashback (free to join for cardholders, but you have to actively sign up, 5% cashback on first $500 spent 11/25-12/31) and end up getting $5 back on the case through Discover Card. So, potentially an Antec P180 for $94 shipped!!!

Theres grills on both sides of the door which let plenty air in.

antec pisses me off with some of the cheap "simple" stuff. plastic hinges on side panels, doors etc.. door is magnetic and it doesnt close all the way..

i got a replacement door from antec (good CS) but it just came with the same problem.. door doesnt close all the way and leaves a bulge..
