Does anybody have the Antec P182 PSU measurements? Anybody have the case that can measure it? I can't seem to find the measurements online.

I had a concern about that because some dork on newegg was complaining about the Silencer 610 not fitting properly in the P180. the P180 and P182 are the identical size, I think. Anyway I called Antec about the size of the chamber with the dimensions of the Silencer. They told me the case would fit the Antec 850 which is the same size. Get the specs on the size of the silencer 610 or Antec 850, or call Antec. I can't remember the exact length possible. Not really the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps.

I received the P182-SE but had to return it due to a minor defect. I won't get my new one back for at least another week and a half; otherwise I could have taken a measurement for you. In the meanwhile, I can offer this (which may or may not help you):

I mounted my Seasonic M12 700 Watt Power Supply into the case and easily fit into the lower chamber space provided; however, it barely fit into the silicon-padded metal frame that Antec provides to absorb vibrations. I mean, it had that frame bent out to something other than it's normal "box" shape. However, all things considered, it worked.

If you didn't use the metal frame, I would think that almost any power supply under 1000W would easily fit. Most 1000W PS's can likely only be installed after removing the lower fan. With using the metal frame (how you are supposed to do it) you should still be able to fit most power supplies.

Maybe you can look up the Seasonic M12 700W's measurements and it can give you an idea if yours will fit.

Hmm...Your fine on the width then. It will probably bow the metal frame out just a bit, like it did for mine, but it's not a problem once everything is screwed in. 20mm longer on the length means that there's a chance you'll have to remove the lower fan. I sort of think you'll be able to leave it in; but you'll have to watch the cables as you'll likely be cutting it real close. If I had my case I'd be able to tell you for sure.

Sorry I can't help more. If you're still having this problem in a week or 2, let me know. I'll hopefully have my case back by then!

As far as the fan I ordered a grill.

@EV700, is the brand and model of your PSU a secret? Why don't you post it, you will get a lot better results. Unless it's a secret or something.

I had trouble installing two evga 8800ultra in SLI and a PC Power Silencer Quad 750W... The PSU cables touche the lower FAN. And goodbye upper HD tray.

Other than that, I'm happy with the case, it's solid.

One 8800 fits well without the upper tray? Did you remove the lower fan? Is that lower fan needed?

Ok, now that I know the type of PS this is all ridiculously easy.
Antec Off web 8.6cm(H) x 15cm(W) x 18cm
converted 86x150x180

Tagen off web 150x86x170
rearrainged 86x150x170

Since Antec said it would fit the 850 quad and the Tagan is the same dimensions except 10mm shorter then it will fit. Done and done.
