Anyone got either? I'd love to hear personal comments on either as I am thinking of getting both

Much obliged.

Almost sure your gonna have problems putting the modular hiper into the P180 case.

The P180 is an absolutely gorgeous case, i love it and its great to work with but it has this unique seperate bay for the PSU. Within is a 120mm fan, the idea being to keep it cool and quiet. However the Modular plugs will be a little too long, although i think it could fit you would most likley have to remove the fan and then it would still be a bit tight.

I used the Antec True power 2 series for my p180, perfect fit, silent and damn low temps in the case

HairyLee has a Hiper 580, if you want to send him a PM. I did and he loves his Hiper.
