What do you think of it? Usability?

I think very highly of it. It is one of the best designs I have seen, as well.

EDIT: Ah, a good review. That is the case I would get if I needed another one.

Thats actually the P180B.

My friend has that case, and it looks very nice, it's also very quiet.

So far, good reviews. My only concern is the p/s on the bottom. I've never had that before. Fry's has it on sale for $120. So I am going to try today and see if they have one in stock.

I'm not sure if you saw, but here are some more pics and specs on the case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129017

Newegg is selling it for $115, but you also need to pay shipping.

And about the PSU on the bottom, you need to make sure your PSU has long enough wires to reach the motherboard connectors, that seems to be the only major problem.

Well, I have a 20 pin connectot on the p/s so I have to run the adapter to 24 pin, so that gives me enough there.

I did see the one on Newegg, but if I can get it local for about the same price, I will. I usually shop Newegg, but in the end, you might see a $5 difference.

The problem my friend has is with the 4-Pin motherboard connector. But it depends where the 4-Pin plug is located.

Glad you pointed that out. Mine is on the top of the m/b That might be a problem. Well, hopefully they will have one on display then I can decide from there. I was looking at a Lian PC-60BPLUSII, but I would have to order that, plus it's a little more $$.

Make sure you measure the cable before you leave, so you have somewhat of an idea.

i have it and i love

it would be totally quiet if i didnt have a loud fan in front.

my PSU wires reach but wire management isnt the best for this case
