    While it does have a door its double hinged and folds flat against the side.. It's boring as hell behind the door but it doesn't have to be there

    Well if theres that much free space between the hdd it looks like the tech sheets on antec are wrong...
    Cause its apparently less deep than my antec P150 and its a tighter squeeze than that, with my 4870 being as long as Asus P5B deluxe...hmmm

    Thanks for the pic matty.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Bit of an odd question but does anyone still have the original box for their P182? A friend asked me what the dimensions of it are but I've no longer got mine.

    Thanks matty but a slight misunderstanding. I'm talking about the cardboard packaging box the P182 comes in.

    Re: Case recommendations for my new build?

    I'd say 2" in depth each side (so 4") and 3-4" in width either side of the case so 6 -8" wider, probably the same again in height. I haven't seen one for a while though.

    It won't fit through a letter box

    I like the plain looks of the Antec 300, but would like something a little larger. Hmmm.
