I'm thinking of purchasing these two components, and I'm wondering if the Seasonic's cables are long enough for the abonormal PSU positioning in the Antec P180.

Anyone with any experience with either of these two products, please shead some light? :D

No, the ATX power cable on mine needed a small extender. Its no biggie, IMO it was worth having these two great pieces of hardware working together.

My S12 is 4 months old, its not the old revision that first came out, but i believe there is a newer revision out now, they may have changed cable lengths. I would be prepared to buy an ATX cable extender though.

Gosh, I am so tempted to buy the p180, its just so damn heavy. A window would be nice too... Its an awesome case either way.

The newer version of the S12 will fit the P180 and you DO NOT NEED an extender.

Yup, exactly. I read SPCR's new review and I saw that they definitely extended EVERYTHING, in addition to giving you additional connectors.

I wish I had the new Seasonics... Bleh. My SATA power connectors are running a bit short, and it's hard to stick one of my drives in (then again how often do you take your drives out anyways?).

I have a P180 and a S12. It fit fine.... That said I switched to a modular Enermax because I got sick of cable clutter.

Want to buy my S12?? PM me. ^_^
