P180 vs. P182

I've been trying to find a deal on a P182, however, was just offered a P180 for a reasonable price. Are there any differences between the cases now, besides the color?
 
I'm not sure, but maybe the P182 has the newer type front panel audio connector to the motherboard, and the P180 has AC97?

Don't know about the connector itself. The 182 still has standard speaker/mke jacks. However, the 182 supports both AC 97 and the new HD Audio standards. the wiring from the case has two connectors on it to go to whichever audio header on your MB. It's an either/or deal.

The cable management on the 182 is nice; you can route cabling behind the MB. Does a nice job of keeping cables away from the CPU and vid card.

There are two access holes in the back of the case, with rubber grommets, to support water cooling rigs.

The control switches for the top and upper rear tri-cool fans are mounted on the back panel of the case - very easy access. You still have to pop the left side cover to control the lower rear fan control.

My MB matched perfectly with the pre-done MB standoffs on the tray.

Overall, I think the positive reviews that this case has received are well deserved.
 
Oh, If anyone here has a Microcenter near them they had the p182 for $120 on sale a few days ago, dunno if it still is.
 
They do have the cable management system in the P180. I have a couple of those boxes. It may be a hit and miss type of thing.
 
v1.1 & up of the P180 is pretty much identical to the P182 inside, I have a P180 v1.1 silver and its pretty much the same as a P182

It doesn't seem to me that the P180/P182 are supposed to be about the bling, though.
