Please help

Hey guys,

I will be purchasing a system within the next 2 weeks

I plan to overclock my 3000+ venice as much as i can and i will probably be getting a 7800gtx, 2X1gb of ocz ram, Antec neopower 480w psu and raiding a couple of SATAII hitachi drives
my original plan was to get a P180 because from my understanding it was an extremely quiet, well built case with good thermal results.

Now i am hearing a lot of stuff about the hinges not being good on it and how the Lian Lis are better.
Quite frankly i know nothing about this so any help would really be appreciated greatly.

Thanks

no help at all? 🙁

the p180 is an excellent case, just be sure to get a psu with long enough cables to reach, or get this extension kit

the antec neopower 480w won't come with long enough cables?

 

[tw33ter]

yeah im sorry i didn't see that up there, all antec psu's will work with the p180.

 

[entropy1982]

oh nice so i don't need the kit for sure?

 

[tw33ter]

it depends, ultimately, you'll just need to see when you get it all together, and how neatly you like your cable management to be

 

[entropy1982]

the main thing is i just want to have everything together when i order the comp so i can quickly analyze if anything is not working and send it back you know what i mean?

Ask ANTEC i am sure they will will be able to tell you what PSUs of theirs will fit the P180.

The P180 was one of the cases that I gave consideration to purchasing. I ended up going with the Lian-Li PC-V1000b because I prefer the design, but the P180 seeems like a real good case

If you're thinking about the v-1000 series of lian-li, you should find out whether or not the neopower will fit in the psu bay. I hear you can't fit modular PSUs in there. Just my two cents.
