Default Antec P180 questions

Alright, how well does the Antec P180 really cool? Does it cool the same or worse than the P182, and how much of a difference is there between the temps in a P180 and the temps in a 900. I don't like the way the Antec 900 looks at all, and the P180 is my dream case. They look exactly like what I want a pc case to look like.

Also, how would one go about modding a soundproofed case to keep it soundproofed and yet still cool looking. Decals?

Finally, would it benefit me to replace the fans in my p180 once I get it? Or should I just leave in the ones it comes with?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I need a new case badly and I want to make a wise purchase.

If I recall correctly, Chozart and others remove the upper HDD cage for better cooling in the P180.
Sound reduction, there are sheet materials that can be adheared to the inside to dampen the noise. It's available at various PC sits and is also used for cars and available at many automotive sites.

Well, if you are going all-air, you could probably get better temps with the 900. It just has a LOT of places for fans.

However, the P180 is meant to be a quiet solution. Whats great about the 180 is that it also is quite a solid performer, despite the amount of airflow it provides.

I have one, I love it =D
