Antec p182 Door Removal

[Blackjack]

Just wondering if there was any easy (non-destructive) way to remove the door on a p182 case. I was just thinking of a few ways to increase airflow and that came up on the top of my list. Also, if there is a way to put the door back on once it is removed would there be any way to put it back?

I need to know this also.

I took off the door by opening it all the way, making sure that the second hinge is out. when the hinge comes out simply bend it so that you can just yank it out. there isn't much force needed to do this.

So the second hinge with the grills on it comes out? Just making sure...

You should start from parts responsible for obstructing airflow:

Also metal mesh in fan's hole is restrictive especially because it's so close to fan.

yes, that is correct. That piece of plastic is what attaches the door to the case, and is easily removed.

I also think it would be better to cut out the fan grills and mod or remove the filter doors. Plenty of air makes it through the outer door vents, especially if there is clearance at the bottom of the case.
