Best ps for p-180?

[sgtBaker]

This is my first post so be nice.I'm building a new rig and decided on an Antec Performance I P180 case because I want it to be quiet and have good airflow/cooling.
What is a good power supply for this case,i've heard some horror stories about ps not fitting etc.I may also buy a thin fan to replace stock front fan in cthe case.

I will be using a dfi lanparty nf4 ultra-d mb
AMD Opteron 165
xp-90 heatsink with panaflo fan
nvidia 7800 gt graphics card,probably xfx
300 g ata hard drive


Thanks,Todd

Not crapping; just wondering... When I saw this case in person, I was suprised by how small it was. Why does everyone have problems with PSU cable length with the P-180?

 

[sgtBaker]

Thats why I was asking.Probably because the power supply goes on bottom of case,so its a little differant.

On many motherboards, the 12v power connector is located somewhere along the top (my Asus board was in the top left). Because the PSU bay is at the bottom, the 12v cable has to run all the way across the motherboard and over/around all the components.

From what I understand, the P180 has a separate compartment for the PSU in the bottom corner of the case. Some motherboard's power connectors (I've heard DFI mention a lot) are pretty much on the opposite side of the case, and some of the cords simply aren't long enough.

I do, and I'm using it with an Antec NeoHe 550w just fine with my DFI Ultra-D.

No. But I have a big case, so I can somewhat qualify. I use Seasonic PSUs with extenders on the 24p & 8p cables.

How many fans does this case support? Does it come with these fans? What sizes are they?

The antec NeoHE is practically designed for the P180, straight line airflow, low noise, high efficency, long cables...

However there have been problems with them (bad batch or three).

There was at least one long thread on this only a few days ago, the search button is your friend!
