Antec P(183/182/180/mini) question

[colinstu]

Looking at pictures, do you need to have the front door open to turn on the computer?, or is there some secret power button that I don't know about? Having to open the door to turn on your computer sounds like a pain, but the cases look so nice!

Yes.

That is what the lock is for too. You can lock the door and nobody can turn it on.


I have a P180 and P182, don't know about the minis.

Trust me, it's no problem at all. After two days of usage, opening the door two inches, hitting the button and letting the door magnet snap it back is one fluent movement, you don't even think about it. The magnet has a good strength, which makes handling the door comfortable.

Yes, you have to open the door to turn a P180 on. I used to have a PS2 keyboard and could boot from shutdown by pressing the spacebar. Now I have set my PC to wake at 8am each day and then go to standby after 5 minutes as my new USB keyboard will not wake my machine from off only standby. Bit of a pain having the power on button behind the door especially as my tower is relatively inaccessible.
