    Antec P 180

    Every review i have read, and even the manual of this case say the door opens to 270 degrees. I have just bought one of these, arrived this morning, and no matter what i do i cant get the door beyond 180.

    Have Antec changed the specification of the case recently, or am i just being very stupid?

    Any help and advice is greatly appriciated

    hmmm, im really puzzled, it even shows a picture of it on the box going 270.

    Can you see two sets of hinges? Any chance if you had time, could you send me a pic of the hinges wen the door is open fully?

    Part of the problem may just be me being too gentle, not wanting to damage a new piece of kit.

    The P180 you just got isn't a P180B specification is it?

    I can't check if they have changed until I get home...

    oh, sorry everyone, i have managed to do it.

    The second hinge was very tighly clipped in place, and it looked like a permament fixing, but with some carefully positioned force i managed to get it to work, it should loosen up with use

    Thanks all for your help
