Antec P180... how the hack can you open the door 270 degree?

eccen · 08-12-2006, 06:44 AM

I'm having trouble with my P180 that I just bought. The door!

Reading reviews here and there, it seems there are double hinges that opens up 180 and 90 (combined 270). 180 one is kinda obvious but where the hack is the 90 hinge?

Maybe they meant that one allows you to open it 90° and the other allows it to open up 180°. Maybe I'll go to Fry's and check it out since I'm thinking about buying the P180(if only I knew how to create a window on the side panel).

nvm I figured it out last night. I just had to use a bit more of force to make it work. It almost felt like I was going to break something.

Now the door opens up nice and smoothly

yeah, once you get past 180 degrees its kinda clipped in, just a gentle pull and it folds back flush to the side of the case

Yasu... this might help
