Externals:
When
we had removed the Styrofoam and the cardboard
covers we were greeted by yet another layer of
protection, the sides and the front have a plastic
film on them to help further in avoiding scratches
to the case.
When
we remove the plastic film covering the sides
and front we are stunned with the quality of finish.
Can you say mirror polish?
I
can’t remember hearing of many case manufacturers
using stainless steel before in their cases, In
my opinion it looks great, the polish that they
have achieved on this material is nothing but
amazing!
Here’s
a shot of the all black back of the P182 SE.
Back
plate and 120mm exhaust fan.
Here’s
a new thing which the earlier P180 models don’t
have, Antec has chosen to put a two channel fan
controller in the back of the case. It is wired
to control the rear and top exhaust fans of the
P182 SE, a nice touch!
Here
you can see another of the changes from the original
P180, Antec has added pre-drilled holes for those
interested in adding an external water-cooling
radiator.
And
a shot of the Power Supply compartment…
Here
you can see the front of the P182 SE with the
door opened.
And
the standard Fire wire, USB 2.0 and audio ports
in the front.
The
procedure to open the fan intakes up has not changed
from the earlier revisions, simply press on the
grills and they will pop open.
Taking
out the washable dust filters is very easy just
press down the latches and lift them out.
