Hello!
I have bought the Antec P180 case, and I will get it in a week. I also have bought the PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 700. The problem is that if you see the case, it has a specific department for the PSU, and a fan for it. Now if you look at the PSU it has its fan on the top side of the PSU, not on the back side. So...Will it be a cooling problem?
Look at this 2 images:
PSU: http://www.hard-h2o.com/review/fuentes/thermaltake-toughpower.html
CASE: http://www.hard-h2o.com/review/cajas/antec-p180_2.html

So, will the fan inside the case make his work despite the fan of the PSU looks upside or dowside?
Now, think about this: many PSUs have its fan on the top or bottom side...will them fit and make thir good job inside the Antec P180?
Should I buy this other PSU: Antec TruPower Quattro 850 ( http://www.antec.com/ec/productDetails.php?ProdID=07850# )
Please answer. Thanks. Sorry for my english.

Seen lots off reviews about the P180/182 case.

They used all sorts off psu's, but i never read anything about bad psu cooling deu to the fan on the upside.

The only problem they complaned about was the fan in front off the psu, which can cause some problems with longer psu's.

I think you should not worry.

I also have the p180 but with an Enermax noisetakerII psu and it also has its fan on the bottom. To be sure I have good airflow I installed the psu upside down that way the fan is on top. That way the psu gets plenty of air and it stays pretty cool also. If you have other questions about the P180 don't hesitate to ask I had mine for 1 1/2 year I have put 4 different mobos in it since then so I have some experience with that case ;)

You can always remove the fan in front off the psu if youre wires hit the fan.

The psu will be strong enough to suck the air in from the front off the case.

If you do that you can add a 92mm fan between the front of the case and the drive bay.

The panel is used to devide the compartments. (psu/hd's and mobo)
The mobo stays cooler this way, because the heat from the psu wont be able to reach the mob compartment.

The cables from your psu wille come through the hole and you can move the plate to close the gab.
