Will Antec CP-1000 PSU Fit in Antec P180B Case?

[SpencerL]

Hi, I haven't been able to find the answer to this question after an exhaustive search, so I was hoping someone here would have some insight

I have this case: http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product1.php?Type=Mg==&id=Njc0
(The full size P180B that is now discontinued.)

I am looking to upgrade the PSU to this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371036#spec

I know that this PSU will fit in the Antec P183 (newer version of P180) but I don't know for sure if it will also work in the P180B.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and offering any advice you may have

The CP series of PSU's are known to fit in only 3 Antec cases:

1200
P193
p183

http://www.antec.com/pdf/manuals/CP850_Manual_EN.pdf

The CPX form factor is exclusively compatible with Antec’s cutting-edge Gaming and
Performance One cases, including the Twelve Hundred, P183 and P193. For an updated list of
models supported please visit www.antec.com/cp850.

here's the dimensions:

CP-850 4.7"(H) x 6.9"(W) x 7.9"(D)
SG-850 3.4"(H) x 5.9"(W) x 7.1"(D) (normal size PSU)

Thanks for the quick reply! Seems like I will have to pick a different PSU.

I think this would be my next choice, hopefully it will fit: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139007

Jack - I hope newegg.com made a mistake. They are showing a sale price of $269.99 for the Antec Signature SG-850.

Just checked several vendors. That psu can be purchased for $50.00 less and free shipping.

Glad to see my Seasonic X-650 Gold Certified power supply made the Silent PC recommended list. I can confirm that it is a very quiet psu due to new design features. PSU temp has to climb up to the toasty range before the fan kicks in.

$219 today....was $204 when my son bought one in October....new SG-1200 should drop any day Gold Certified .... and Corsair's HX line looks in for a revamping.....80 plus site is showing Gold for 750 and 850 HX line with the tests having been run 6 months ago.....no new catalog numbers but stores seem to only have the silver ones.

Enermax has 16 Gold ones coming and Thermaltake 8 .... none as big as the SG-1200 ...whaddya think it will pop for ..? .... $375 ?
