So the Antec P182 is $59.99 After $50.00 Mail-In Rebate. I'm seriously considering getting it. In case(no pun intended) somebody else wants it too.

Abuzer you mean the new HDD's with that cache? Not much different with seek speeds, but transferring big files from folder to folder should be quicker. Thats how it was explained to me.

well i didnt mess with anything lastnight. but i got it all out right now getting ready to put the PSU in the case. also took out my LH-18A1P and put back the HP740i/b(anyone know if there is a firmware upgrade for that drive?)
so in my HP system i have the HP740i/b and the liteon SHW-160P6S.
and soon i will have the LH-18A1P and a tsst-dvdrom drive(cd-rw/dvd drive TS-H492) once i get it all built im gonna get a 20x sata liteon.and then switch things around to where ill have a 16x,18x,and 20x liteon drives in the new build and in the HP the TSST cd-rw/dvdrom and the HP 740i/b...
well im off to do some tinkering..

So I might consider buying it. Man a 950 dollar budget sucks! Especially since the new Q9450 is gonna be 316 dollars!
Deadrum, so how is that man cave project going?

We've had 60mph winds and freezing rain in my area for the last week, it tore the garage door off my other house (studio) that I rent to some bandmates so I've been fixing that place up then everything melted and theres been floods all over Ohio, didnt get us but did get family so I've helped them.
I'm done using power tools in the cave, just have to finish the small details, then move all my equipment from from storage to the cave.
I almost bought the 32MB drives (Seagate 7200.11?) while piecing together this build but 500GB Samsung Spinpoint were on sale at the time so I went with 2 of them instead and saved about $60 all together.

havent seen you around in a long while. how ya been?
yea i've actually looked at that one. also would like to find the LH-20A1P big bro to the 18A1P
well right now i got the PSU in 2 OD's a 100gb seagate hdd.
got a few pics of it so far. cant wait to get the 2 fans to put in it and get power up to it all...i really like this case tools trays for OD and HDD are sweet.but i did put a couple screws in the back side of the OD. those little trays for the HDD look flimsy until you put a HDD in it nice and solid. if i keep the 100gb hdd i gotta get a pci card to add another IDE cable. bt what im wanting to do is get a external hdd case and put it in there so i can transfer stuff from 1 puter to the other via USB....
dang im talking like i might know something...lmao!!!!!
just looked at newegg checking my status. stage 5 been shipped and is actually on itsway to columbus OHIO about 2 hours from me. its on schedule to be here tuesday....YAAAAAA

You guys may know that Thermaltake ToughPower 700w has a 120mm fan, and it's facing down when installed on a case, BUT for antec 900 case the psu is at the bottom, so can you turn the powersupply around and face up? Will it work?

@cincy,
Nice pics buddy. May I suggest that you use a table cloth next time. lol. You'll have to lay the case on it's side anyway and you will save some scratches from forming and some of your A$$ at the same time. lol. :P
That case is pretty nice innit?? AND by the time you get your MIR back you'll have paid less than $30 for it. WOW you dog!! I think I paid $50 or something like that for mine. :P
happy building...

cincyrob,
All you needed was a paper clip. There's a tiny hole that you stick the paper clip straight in and push. Then the drive will open without power!LOL!!

I'm sure more than one but NOT me. hehehe. BUT most of use just use the tool that came with the drive or the right sized paper clip and stick it in the little bitty hole in the front and the drive will open right up. :P

oh now you tell me...lol gotta go get the universal paper clip for my new build...lol
So what about it?? lol.
It's not a bad drive rob. I have it and it does ok. You really should consider a Pioneer or Sony/NEC/Optiarc for an alternate drive. :D

Turn it upside down and then install as normal - the screw holes are inverted too so it fits the same wasy as any other PSU, just upside down.

awesome, thanks. oh by the way which one is better? P182 or 900? P182 is more of a silent case, and 900 is more of a cooling
