Does the Tuniq Tower fit in the Antec P182?

Thinking about buying both of these. Will it work?

Also, how loud is the stock fan? Can you replace it with something else easily?
 
99% sure it does, it fits in the P180 and the only difference that would matter in the 182 is that the MB tray is slightly lifted to provide space for cabling in behind it. I'm pretty sure I've seen people with the P182 using the Tuniq. My Ultra 120 fits fine in my P180 (box says P180 but it's a P182, I should change my sig).

LoL! Money ain't everything!

Here's why you should spend "$50 for a heatsink"...

Well, that and bragging rights!

Can't Beat 'Em (stock)
Can't Beat 'Em (mild pump)

How it's looking? Worth 50 bones? 😀

Well...

WFO you can hear it, but I don't consider it noisy! It's simply pushing a lot of air, and the air movement is what you're hearing, not so much the fan itself.

However, running @ 1750 RPM or less, no biggy! @ 1500 RPM it's pretty much silent...

And, yes, you can change the fan without removing the Tuniq from the mobo!

The fan sits inside a removeable frame, held onto the top of the Tuniq with four small screws... 😉

True!

The Tuniq Tower 120 comes with a real eggbeater -- 9 blades, I think!

Look, here's the bottom line: These things are made for brutal cooling, and they're big badazz mofos!

Look at the size of it...

I don't care which fan you use -- if you're pushing enough air through those fins, your are gonna hear it!

The thing is, they also come with a nice little rheobus fan controller!

Sooooo, if the "noise" bothers you, just turn the speed down to 1500 RPM. You won't even know there's a fan inside! 😀

I'm overclocking mostly for the fun of it, but I'd like to get the most bang for my buck.

It's so quiet turned low that I thought the fan in mine was broken... Plugged in a yate loon onto the cpufan socket just to make sure the mobo was powering it.
