I will update my "build" shots within the P182 in my other thread as I finish it but this one will serve just to highlight the P182 SE itself
New rear mounted rear and upper fan controls for easy access
Rear of case. New holes for watercooling tubing
Some of the reflective quality. I'll take the sheets off later and get the real deal.
Case door feels much more solid than P180. Might be the steel. 5" drive bay covers fit more closely together. Power button has raised symbol on it. Overall a tighter nicer look.
Door fits very flush - no issues here initially.
Overview of inside. sexy black finish
internal shot of how new fan business works
exclusive to SE --> crazy wormlight and its power cord which seems to be both molex and internal USB header powered?
can't see it when its on holding clip and looking at case straight on
wormlight floating, front case connections/bundle/etc. some mobo holes visible
closer!
PSU bay with improved silicon to cut down on vibrations, new smaller 25mm fan at bottom, and it has a longer tri-speed control as well
hdd cages "Antec Design"
Sorry this one is dark, tubing holes from inside, plus the bottom gate to the lower chamber is silghtly differnt, an oval shape
nothing remarkable about cages out - top fan cover - drive rails - screws and such - NEW - black cloth for wiping down case - fan clips looks like - cable ties
internal with cages removed
see through shot - highlights new holes in mobo for cable routing behind it
shot of the NEW backside - raised mobo tray and holes cut to route PSU cabling up behind mobo. 3 build in cable ties as well. also you can see better the smaller 25mm fan at the bottom. also i was REALLY concerned that bottom notch wouldnt be there because on the antec website it's missing... but its there!
little dark again - front panel connections are more accessible from the back this time
overview of backside!
and of course I'll update my entire build set of photos using the new case and its improvements (in the other thread of mine)
