Is it comparable to the antec 900 for cooling and room for parts?All in all I think it is the nicest looking case,not over the top on lights but good looking attractive case.
 
I have the P180, the predecessor to the P182. It's very roomy if you take out one of the 2 drive bays. Also, the case should be very quiet even if you add 2 more 120mm fans to the case and set everything to "slow".
 
Well currently I have 1 rear 120mm fan (Arctic cooling PWM fan) and the stock top 120mm Tricool fan (I took out the bottom 120mm fan as my hard drive is in the upper chamber), a Shark Evercool CPU hfs and I idle at about 36º and max out at 47º while gaming.

I can't personally compare it to a 900 as I've never owned one. But it seems like the 180(2) is a lot quieter than the 900.
 
I love mine. Although like "diduknowthat" I don't have anyway I can compare to a 900, but I still love my P182. It looks good, loads of space, and good temps.

Bad: You might have to move middle drive bay to fit A 8800GTX.

That is really cool temperature. My case idles at 39 degrees with the top, rear, power supply chamber and upper drive bay fan all on low. Of course, my q6600 is overclocked to 3.0 ghz with 1.318 volts. What voltage is your cpu at?

By the way, I like my 182. it has plenty of room, you don't have to worry about getting dusty as quickly from all those intake fans in the 900 (from what I heard). And it is really quiet. I've had it for less than a week, but it surprises me how quiet it is compared to my old case.
