    Exclamation Plain P182 £20 more than with horrible 3XS skins?!

    Hey,

    Just wondering why the plain old Antec P182 is £92.70, whilst the two versions with fugly pre-applied skins are around £77.

    Is it possible to buy the cheaper ones and then peel the skin off?

    Cheers,

    Suman

    hmm damn, since when did these cases go up to 90 odd quid? or were they always that price :S

    shouldn't be too hard to peel that skin off? or there mite be a certain process.

    I see like this, Modify a car, it's worth less when you sell it.. Same applies.

    The P182 used to be around £75 (I got one around that price) but most cases have gone up due to the cost of materials.

    Dude, clearly you are taking the piss

    If one of the Scan guys could clarify whether or not the skins are "peelable" that would be awesome
