The interior of the Antec P180 Advanced Super Mid-Tower is cramped and in order to address cable management issues Antec has introduced a plastic sliding panel assembly. This device allows consumers to pass wires from the upper internal drive cage to the lower drive bay area. The plastic sliding panel assembly also includes mounting holes for the installation of the VGA ventilation duct. Consumers should note that the VGA ventilation duct must first be removed prior to the installation of any add-on expansion or peripheral cards.

A closer look at the bottom PSU mount reveals that it uses a support plate that is bolted to the bottom of the case frame. The support plate elevates the PSU allowing units that utilize dual fan configurations to have enough clearance area for air circulation. Another addition to the support plate is the inclusion of a PSU mounting bracket. The PSU mounting bracket fits over a standard power supply and is bolted directly to the support plate.
