Installation
The system we installed in the Antec Mini P180 is as follows:
| Processor | Intel C2D E6750 @ 3.2GHz |
| Memory | Corsair XMS2 6400 (2x 1GB) |
| Motherboard | Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H |
| Graphics Card | Onboard nVidia 7100 |
| Power Supply | Antec NeoPower 550W |
| Hard Drive | Hitachi HDT7250 (250GB) |
| Optical Drive | Samsung SATA DVD-RW |
The first step was to pop my IO plate in and install the motherboard bundle (CPU, Cooler and RAM), luckily all the pre-installed standoff’s lined up perfectly with the mounting holes on my motherboard.
After that I installed my 550W Antec Neo-Power PSU. This went in very easily with a four screws and I was left with plenty of space around the unit. It was indeed resting on the little rubber feet, so should work well in dampening vibrations.
Once the bigger parts of my system were out of the way, I began installing my hard drive and disk drive. The hard drive was very easy to install: remove the cage, screw the hard drive in place, slot back in. The disk drive is installed my screwing two of the included drive rails to the sides of the drive. It can then be slotted in place via the front of the case. Nice and easy.

All that was now left was to connect up the fans and all the components. As my PSU is modular, this was relatively simple and made cable management easy – especially with the added holes in the motherboard plate. After spending less than five minutes on cable management, this is the result. Pretty good huh?
