One thing that I'm confused about the Mini P180 is it's form factor.

According to the Antec website this is a microATX case, therefore only microATX motherboards will fit?

Correct. As you can see in the image posted above it only has 4 expansion slots at the back instead of 7 (or 8) which are for full sized ATX Motherboards.

Hm. Too bad.

I'm basically limited to 460mm of height and this case would probably be ideal. Well, back to the beginning.

Any recommendations for a case similar to that one (sleek and simple) apart from Lian-Li?

That Mini P180 looks a better design than my old P182 - The drive bay layout has changed to offer more space, I wonder if the front casing itself has changed, I hate the new style Antec doors with the chav bodykit vents, why could they not keep it plain?

Quite hard to compare the two cases as one is a rather large Mid Tower and the other is a Mini-Tower. In essence it's a miniature P182 with a larger top exhaust fan and obviously less expansion slots.

And you had to quote the entire post just to say an oneliner?

@mrk, nice case. I've been looking at the V1000Z but it costs too much for what it's offering and yours is quite good alternative. I'm also looking at the Antec Mini P180 (anyone has one?) which seems to be quite spacious although the design is not on the same level as Lian-Li's.

How come you swapped the P182 which is bigger and roomier?

I got a P180 Mini quite recently to house my new rebuilt i7 system:

In short, I'm very pleased with it. Only slight annoynace is the colour of the front LEDs, should either both be blue or both white rather than one of each.

Its worth noting that the actual size of the case is the same as a standard ATX case. Its just the inside of it will only take a mATX board.

Great shots, everyone. I'm truly inspired by a lot of what I've seen here. But on another note, I can't believe there are idiots in here questioning someone else's sexual orientation due to posters and desktop wallpaper. Are you kidding me? You asked for a shot of his work area, so he posted, and you people have to bring him down. Even if he is gay, who cares? It's a thread about workstations!

Sorry missed your post! it's a Powerball arm exercise gyro, very cool!

Also tamilboy, did you get your Xbox 360 cabinet thing from Ikea?

Nope, I bought it from "IDE m?bler " Denmark only. It was made to be mounted on the wall, but i didn't want to:))

i have the antec p180 mini and i hate it, very poorly though out case.

You cant have a long graphics card in as well as the bottom drive bay caddy which means you lose 3 hdd slots straight away, and you also cant have a fan at the front of the case at the same time as a drive bay caddy so no matter what you do you always lose 1 of the drive bays, everything is really cramped and difficult to work in, id recommend people steer WELL clear of this case.

Bit of a pointless case seen as its as tall as a midi atx case which can take full atx boards but yet you can only fit micro atx boards in the 180 mini.

Elbow grease!

You're going to o_0 when you see the new PSU installed now though below lol

I got an OCZ ModXtreme 600watt and also a Zalman Fanmate2 for the intake fan as on my mobo only one fan header (other than the CPU) can be voltage controlled from the OS and I wanted my 3rd fan slowed down to be less audible (I have super ears hah!).

Anyway, All fans are now running 700-900rpm and are uber silent, before I could hear the front fan's ambient hum but now not so. A baby could sleep with the PC on. Definitely.

WOW!~ :woot:

That is one very nice tower. I am almost afraid to look inside mine now. :(

Mine:

You need a bookcase man!

Mousepad is temporary :p

Nice light room, I had to turn the light on to get a good shot of mine (It is 6:23 but very overcast!), this won't be the same tomorrow, as it's my last day here before I head to University!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
