Fry's for $80 bucks. It was a tough choice between the 2nd rev P180B (had slots, fan controller...basically a black P182) and this one. I've used the 1st rev P180B before and always felt it was a bit too crammed. But there's no denying it's quiet operation...even tho the HDD's in the bottom are roasting and a big PSU pretty much kills any chance of good airflow down there.

Anyways, here's some more pics. Gotta sleep, talk about it tomorrow. Raptors are much quieter...on par w/ P180. Side cpu fan won't fit w/ TRUE, but gpu fan's ok w/ HR-03 plus. Side fan's kind of annoying right now cause I haven't taken out the grill. That'll go soon heh.
