Howdy all,

I was looking at the P180 (Fry's also has a $40 rebate on it) as I'd like to go silent and upgrade my case, and I'd also like to upgrade to an 8800GS . I'm using a cheapo black Antec one, the model name of which escapes me atm but is killer on my hands since it's pretty small on the inside. Is there a big case designed like the P180? Or must I choose between low noise and spacious cases?

Thanks for reading and replying.

I had a P180 with 4 tri-cool's on low with a Zalman 9500 on low, and an Accelero x2, and you had to look at the power LED to make sure the thing was on. Definitely recommend.
 
P180 is a fairly good sized case once you get to working with it. If you really want to go bigger, wait for the P190 which should be out soon.
 
Gah, I'm going to get it. I went out to Fry's and it's got a good 3" on my case (in the interior) and save the bottom part of the case it looks pretty roomy. What's the latest revision? I noticed that in some old pics the P180 has a bump on the top for a 120mm fan.

Thanks.
 
Check out the Fong Kai FK-330. It'll be hard as all hell to find, but it's built like a damn tank. Double ply steel sides, good airflow, heavy as all hell. I had mine for a long time, and with two Yate Loons (at 12v) and a seasonic 600w, it was completely silent compared to ambient noise in a quiet apartment.
