    Every review or site that sells it has it listed as Gun Metal Black. The Antec site has it listed as Gun Metal Black. The SE edition has a mirrored look.

    Yes, it is listed as Gun Metal Black. Which if you look, is a dark grey colour.
    Look at the photos on the reviews I linked to earlier and the difference is obvious.

    Obvious? Too me that is black with a hint of grey(barely) which is probably why the called it 'gunmetal' BLACK. I'm not going to argue about it cos its trivial and only a damn colour

    Rofl, who cares what they call it.

    If its kinda greyish and has water cooling ports its a P182, if its clearly black and no ports then its a P180b, thats about the summary of this farcical 2 page thread to answer a fairly simple question.

    Can someone from Scan please clarify why P182s are getting sent out in P180B boxes... I have just received mine and it is in a P180B box.

    WELL i just opened mine and it is jet black (with the watercool ports) not the gun metal grey.......... Really peed off now.

    The door doesnt open 270 degrees and doesnt feel very strong.......

    If I wanted the P180b i would have ordered one..........

    I've just had another look at my case it look at my case...It's jet black with a shiny front door and side panels. The manual states P180/P180B/P182/P182SE..

    How can I upload photo of this case and manuals on this thread.

    Clearly we are getting sent P180b and I want Scan to sort this out...

    I am usually a very happy Scan customer, but this is not right!

    With the door issue, you have to push it quite hard to get it to go back on itself (I have the P182)
