Not sure if this is good or not.

Newegg just sent a 50$ off code of this case:

Newegg also has P182 for 99.99$ after MIR

Which is a better case imho

Yeah, they had the P182 for $59.99 recently as well. I have both cases here in my house, and I'd say the P182 is really worth the difference. I believe the P180 has been modified to match the cable management of the P182, but there are no guarantees about it. There seem to still be some original P180s floating around. I'd go P182 just to be sure you're getting a case with any cable management at all.

+ $18.99 shipping, might not want to forget that. Comes out to ~$20 more than the P180. And it's a MIR, vs. the IR of the P180. Things to consider.

No PSU's either which in my book puts this as a cold deal.

PSU, isn't an issue. I'd rather no PSU than potentially a crappy PSU. The shipping is a buzzkill

Most people here would rather get a quality case without a power supply. Most power supplies included in cases are not high quality and wattage to support the kind of parts we put in them. That's half the reason they don't try to bundle them in for "enthusiast" cases.

Edit: Also both cases are solid (I have both). If the difference is minimal, grab the p182, they made some minor changes with cable management and a few other tweaks.

Is the deal a rebate? It's a good deal, that's for sure, but if it's a rebate it's more of an annoying one.

Shipping for a case of this size and weight isn't going to get much less than that, that's for sure. It's a big and heavy case.

The target market for this case is the Silent computing crowd, and they're not going to use a cheap loud PSU.

And if you put in a decent PSU, the price will likely jump at least 40-50%.

This isn't the best deal I've seen on the case...it's a lot more than when i bought it a few weeks ago (50 or 60 bucks shipped AR), but it's a nice case.

Are they really still putting in P180's without the P182 stuff (i.e. has it happened to anybody on this forum)?

I bought my P180B June '07 for $50AR @ Fry's.com, and it had all of the P182 improvements... my friend picked up one in October from the same place and it also had all of the P182 stuff.
