Default Antec P182 Question
I'm just wondering before I buy the Antec P182, if there are any issues with wiring the hardware up. I've heard that it can be a pita to do so. Anyone else have any input on this?

It does take some time to get everything pulled behind the motherboard and straped down in an organized fashion. I think I spent three or four hours getting everything the way I liked it.

The results are well worth it, in my opinion.

I found it easy, at first it might be a little tricky but cables can be managed.

Not really, I did my first build on it and I was fine. Just take your time on it if you can.

My first build, my only build, was with a P180B. I didn't have ONE single problem. Very, very easy to manage the wires btw.
