Looking at the interior of the Quiet Power P180, you can see that the case looks pretty much the same as a stock P180, except for the added water cooling components. Outside of drilling a few holes to mount the pump and reservoir, the only mods Swiftech made was to the side panel for the port-hole and to the middle panel between the upper and lower case chambers to route the tubing. All of the features Antec built into the case to have a quiet/silent running system were retained by Swiftech, so this case should prove to be a near silent running system.





The P180 uses standard type drive rails to mount the 5.25" and 3.25" external bay devices making it quick and easy to install and swap components from the external bays. The internal hard drive racks are a different story. Although they are removable racks, swapping hard drives will require a bit more work as they are mounted via screws that pass through silicone grommets. The top rack has two removable trays inside the removable rack, which seems like a little overkill. Only one or the other needs to be removable I would think. Mounting of the drives with the grommets is a good feature to keep the driver from causing any unwanted vibrations.





Here in the photo of the back side of the front bezel, you can really see just how restrictive the fresh air inlets are; something really should be done to correct this. I have a few ideas of my own and as you can see below, the result looks pretty nice. But as not to have any effect on the testing, I completed the mod AFTER the testing was completed.



One final shot of my system fully installed in the Swiftech Quiet Power P180. As you can see, I'm going to be testing the system out with a few extras installed in the cooling loop, namely, a MCW60 GPU block and a MCW-Ramcool VGA video RAM water block.
