How do you remove the front door on the P180? It feels fairly flemsy, and I would like it gone. I don't want to break it though, incase I decide to ever put it back on.
 
It's held in w/ little plastic nubs. Just lift the top-front of the case some (you can see the seam between teh top panel and the part I'm talking about) and tug on the door a bit and it should fall right off, as the nubs aren't in the holes anymore. I don't have a pic of a P180 to highlight/paint, sorry.
 
I think he means the front door, not the entire front panel.

If yours is flimsy, there is a new version that antec will send you if you ask, its supposed to be sturdier and not warp in the cold. There are instructions and pictures on antec's website on how to remove the front door, its very easy to do, just very hard to explain here.

The bottom of my brand new case is VERY flimsy, it has about a centimeter of being able to move it back and forth.

i am in this situation, my door just started warping, and it kinda of bothering me. what is the best way to get ahold of them?
 
My P180 had the warped door problem. I called Antec for a replacement and they sent one out right away as soon as I sent a copy of my invoice (proof of purchase). Instead of sending just the door, they sent an entire front bezel. The new door is solid alluminum about 1/8 inch think with plastic trim. Also, since the door has more weight it actually opens and closes much smoother.
 
I would like to do this too, but i dont have the origional paper invoice. Should i just print out and scan (or just copy/paste) the order conformation email I got from kustompcs.co.uk or ask them to mail me another invoice?
 
I don't think you even need an invoice. I didn't, and they overnighted me a new door. I'm in canada.

As for the door removal, lift the door up, and then gently warp the plastic, and it'll pop right out.
 
If you guys can't get ahold of Antec, PM me. I have 2 brand new all aluminum doors here that I will send to you for the cost of shipping. Antec sent me 2 doors in the process of trying to get a new USB connector set for the front panel. They never replied back about having me send the doors back to them.

They haven't replied to all 6 RMA inquiries I've sent (maybe work is doing something funky to them), so I may take you up on that.

How much would shipping be to 48439?
