What exactly is the difference between the antec p180 and the p182? to me all it seems to be is colour or is there more i am missing?

"The major difference between the P182 and P180 is that the horrible and inefficient VGA card duct from the P180 is thankfully absent. The back of the case also features some rubber grommeted ports for externally mounted watercooling radiators; again the rubber ensures that the fit is not only tight, but also noiseless."

But I didn't get a VGA duct with my case (P180), though in place of some mesh to let air through it has the pipe holes (P182).

Our one major complaint with the original P180 was the amount of clutter caused by routing cables through the various chambers and opening the case shows Antec's solution to this problem. Basically, the company has thrown in a bunch of cable-tidies that can be stuck to the side of the case and the motherboard mount has been moved forward a centimetre so that cables can be routed behind it and kept out of the way.

Definitely more room behind the tray than in my case, but I might see if I can still shove cables there.

Also the fans that are thrown in anyway have speed switches 'loose' on a wire but the P182 has the switches machined into the back of the case.

Ah cheers thanks for that.. it answered my question nicely and i think i'll go for the 182 if they have it in stock.

I'd like to get an Antec Performance One P190, but see it coming with two tt PSUs (650 and a 550 watt) for the everyday low price: $444.99 CDN.

That's allot of coin. Maybe, maybe if it had a water-cooling system already installed.
