P182 or P183?

I have read so much on comparing these two cases and there really does not seem to be a clear winner.

Could anyone say why one would definitely be going with over the other?

Thanks
 
I like the improved air inlets on the P183. (I am talking about the air inlets on the sides of the front faceplate.)
 
Why not look at the P180 or P182, they are going for cheap. I got mine at Frye's for 70 bucks. If you have a store local might be worth a call, otherwise that price is hard to come by.

The P183 is without question a much better case. The only real issue is whether it is worth the extra cost over the P182/P180.

My answer is an emphatic yes, and I would strongly suggest getting the P183 over the P182/P180.

Depends, I have read that while it is a better case in some regards as it addresses some of the main complaints in the older versions, it also is louder than the P180. In my case noise took preference over the problems in the P180, but each person has their own specific pro's and con's to consider.

If it's louder than the P180, then it probably isn't significant, and the improved bottom compartment more than makes up for any minor sound increase.
 
The P183 is without question a much better case. The PSU area is much better as with the front lower fan replacement over the P182........... I have owned the P182 before
 
If money is no object to you, jump on the P183. If not, and you're on a budget, just find a P182 on sale. It'll suit anyone.
