Doh..
Yes I have a P180B in the mail today.. when I get home.
Will it mount upside down to the back grill? Or are the holes for the screws in specific locations that will cause me to have to alter it? Basically is the thing cut for the PSU to be in it a specific way?
Pictures would be sweet
Std SPU with fan on upper/lower surface, in this case a seasonic S12-600. You can see the location for the HDD in the bottom right of the picture, it is unidirectional. I have blcoked off the openings around that as I want all of the air to come through the HDD bay in front of the PSU and the lower chamber fan.
PSU installed, note that there is a significant gap above the PSU to allow air into it, there is a similar gap below where I have stuffed the cables to hide some of them. You can feed the SATA/molex leads for the lower HDD bay through a gap near the lower fan. The Silicone mounts are very nice and make the HDD a nice snug fit, I suggest it is the first thing that you fit as you need to have access from front and back, and it is easier to manouvre when light(ish) and empty.
Here you can see the seperation of the upper and lower chambers. My PSU is always cool to the touch. So I don't see anything being a problem with this setup.
I'm not going to paste an open finished picture as it is a right mess.
With regards to what I said about blanking off some of the grills, you'll notice that the back is like swiss cheese, I tried covering most of these up, to force the flow of air, and this raised temps. In fact Having the back fan on pulling air out of the case raises my CPU temps 3-4C. I suspect that it is using cold air being pulled from the back to the top. Be prepared to play around with the fan settings. Sig below, all fans on slow, and maxing out at load at 45-48 by TAT, idle 33-34.
