Thanks Infantwar. The fatter ties are part of the Antec 182s cable management, and keep things nicely in place, that and a whole load of other standard electrical ties. Yeah the elevctical tape is a little dodgy; must admit that, but it's just to keep everything in place till the case...

Thanks, but it has a GTX-285 in there already, guess that will be sufficient for the time being :-)

Well it's finally finished.... :D After it's long pan-european odyssey my Enermex finally arrived, then the fun began. Despite by fears of this not fitting, after removing the cage, it went in easily. however the clearance between the PSU and fan was just too tight, so I swapped...

Infantwar - I guess from the pics you posted of that Corsair 1000, which is longer and seemed to fit, the enermax shouldn't be an issue. I however unfortunately can neither confirm or denie this, as i'm still waiting for the damn thing to be delivered.......

My Enermax Rev85 850 is about to get dispatched from Berlin, so i'll let you know in a couple of days how it is (couldn't get it for love nor money in Switzerland....)

Thanks, looks like i'll be shifting the fan then, but that won't be difficult, I tried it already. As for the PSU, it was supposed to come into stock today, but I got an email this morning stating it will be another 1-2 weeks..... :eek: So I quickly cancelled that order, and have ordered one...

Build quality looks good; all components are very secure, and the build itself caused no issues. Got to say as well, the component and socket placement seems to fit really well with the Antel P182. Very happy thus far.

Not too much cramming here thus far (luckily) ! :D But one thing of concern will be the PSU; that will be a tight squeeze at (W x H x D): 150mm x 85mm x 180mm! At 180mm long so I guess i'll have to relocate the 120mm fan to fit it all in, that is unless i can root most of the cables...

Thanks! Yep on board for the moment. Did some reading on the on-board sound chips available on the various X58 MBs, and EVGA and Gigabyte have both an 889 (i think) which can pass HD audio. I didn't like the cut-down X-Fi bundled with some of the other cards, so when I go X-Fi in the...

burningrave thanks! :-) Infantwar - here are a couple of initial pics. Antec P182, with everything in, apart from the PSU. Build was relatively straight forward, put I still haven't powered it up yet. :p there's still some room for the 285 with the middle cage in, but I...

Hi All, I'm just finishing off a P182 build with an i7 and GTX-285. I have a new Enermax Rev85+ 850 coming next Tuesday (they only just got released in Europe), and I was wondering about installing it in the P182. Here's the review...

Update on build: CPU: Core i7 920 installed Cooler: HR-01 plus with 1366 bracket installed MB: EVGA X58 installed RAM: Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600, CL8-8-8-24 Installed Case: Antec P182 Getting full! PS: Enermax Rev 85+ 850 Ordered GPU: EVGA 285 installed Just waiting on the PSU...

Thanks for the feedback, makes me feel a whole lot better! :D That was actually my concern. that although i'd tightened all the screws all the way down, that somehow i was still doing something wrong, or there was a different way to install this with spacers etc. to get a tighter fit...

So tonight I started my build, Have got it all in now, apart from the PSU and GPU (coming this week). However after installing the HR-01+ with the 1366 bolt through, upon installing the fan to it, i noticed that althought it was totally locked down with the screws, it was still possible...

.....and your point being? Being new to the OC scene, isn't it acceptable to ask for advise from others who have the experience to share? If I knew half of what these guys know, i'd be happy to help someone else out.
