I am planning on getting an Antec Mini P180, but I am unsure of the maximum heatsink size.

The P180 has dimensions of 43.5cm(H) x 21.2cm(W) x 43.6cm(D)

I found a picture of a Scythe Ninja in an Antec Mini P180.
It has dimensions of L110 x W110 x H150 mm

I would like to fit a TRUE (ThermalRight Ultra Extreme) in.
The TRUE is: L63.44 x W132 x H160.5 mm


I think it will fit, but I am not 100% certain.
Does anyone know if it fits?

Thanks,
Andyz0r

[It fits! - See last post] :eek:
 
There's a 200mm fan in the top, so anything smaller than that should fit. It's not a small case despite being mATX.
 
Yes, it is not very small.
I'm talking about the height of the heatsink hitting the door (case width).
 
About 1cm more than the OCZ vendetta 2 so around 170mm.
 
My Sunbeam Core Contact fits, so I am pretty sure a True or any current heatsink should fit.

I have an Antec Mini P180 and a TRUE 120. The heatsink fits without any problems. The 120mm fan is a bit noisy though, YMMV

Do you have any pictures?

I ordered some CoolerMaster Silent Blue LED Fans, along with the case.

You shouldn't worry too much about the choice of 120mm fan on your heatsink because the airflow from the antec 200mm will dwarf everything else. So if you can rotate your heatsink a bit (like i did with my ultima90) or even better mount it top to bottom so that it faces the 200mm you will have a lot of airflow. In this configuration, I'm pretty sure that you can run your heatsink passively (depending on the overclock and the CPU, obviously).
 
It fits :)





I have my end of year exams soon so I havn't focuses on the cable management.

Thanks for the help! :)
 
great pics of the case:


I think i am going to build a WHS system with the case, i am going to try and fit a icy dock 3-2 SATA hotswap in the bottom 2 5 1/4" slots and put 2.5" and slimline DVD in the top 5 1/4"

that would be 8 3.5" drives and 1 2.5" drive

hmmm sounds good to me.

already have:
2x WD GP 750GB
2x WD GP 500GB
2x WD Cavier 250gb Drives
for a total of 3tbs of storage on my HTPC, but 3 of the drives are external

Thanks for the pics, i think i am going to buy one in black
