    Which case? P180 Mini or Sugo SG3

    So trying to decide between the two.

    Its a new build, not yet completely decided.

    P55 mATX board,
    dunno what cpu,
    Video card will be my 9800GT for now.

    I have had a silverstone raven and generally like the build quality but have owned a lot more Antec products(P180, Aria and Fusion) and equally like them.

    The way I see it, the Sugo is smaller but will require a new cooler. The p180 is bigger, but I can reuse my thermalright 120 and house a little more. Plus cabling will be a little less cluttered.

    Any thoughts guys?

    The Antec mini-p180 weighs about 9.5KG whereas the Silverstone Sugo SG03 weighs about 3.5KG.

    Hence if weight is an important factor the Silverstone is a better choice although the mini-P180 probably has better airflow.

    when you tidy your cables the mini p180 has awesome airflow so if your going to overclock that would be my first choice. but it is heavy. my whole system weight about 15Kg all in though for me this is not a problem. minip180 is basically a small p183

    I ended up going for the MiniP180. Was on today only the other day worked just under £60 Inc delivery.

    Will try and post some piccys up over the weekend.
