I'm finally going to be rebuilding my rig into a new case, I've needed a better case for ages but liked my P182 too much, though the inside is too cramped and long obsolete for the sizes of modern components.
This is the current rig, beyond cramped and horrible cable management:
For the new case I ordered a Corsair Air 540, the big cube thing because I love the look of it. I also ordered a pair of 4 Gb Seagate HDDs as they were on offer and cheap for the amount of storage since this case can only hold two 3.5 inch drives and I only have 400 gig left on my 2 Tb drive (one is for backups only). I'm going to stick them in raid 1 this time as I hate backing stuff up via copy paste.
I'm going to stick 3 of my red led fans at the front of the 540, and use the two 140 cm that come with it at the top of the case, only because my red led fans were pricy high air flow and silent ones and I don't want to have to get rid of them for larger fans.
TJ08-E
Added fan controller akasa fc.six.
Mirror on the floor.
White led stripe 1 meter, across all interior.
Replaced side panel with graphite acrylic panel, mounted with magnetic tape stripes.
Got my new case, and new HDDs
Just using the stock fans for now, and copying over my old hard drives content which will take a day or two.
Hot sun and S3! Waiting for the new hardware arrives!
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!

Here's my new workstation/gaming rig. i build this rig 3 months ago and I must say, mini-ITX is great!.
http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/3671.html
It has a 3570K and a GTX 670 mini which is the only truly mini-ITX gaming card.
Another great thing is the msata disk on the back of the motherboard. There are only 6 cables in the entire case.
