I wanted to know in the P180 there's this back/side vent with a fitment for an 80mm fan thats supposed to cool the graphics card. Now I haven't assembled either of my P180's as yet, but would like to know....will this impede certain larger graphics cards like say the X1800XT or 7800GTX 512? 1 of my next cards will be one of these 80% chances of the former..

Will I need this duct, will it obstruct such cards? Should I remove it?

i removed this duct th moment i got the cabby.
wire management in the p180 is a b**ch as it is, this duct makes it more difficult

agreed about the wire mgmt part...Say since you've used them....It is cooler isn't it?? I mean I will be installing a P4 660 in one and something in the range of a manchester/toledo in the other....with loads 'o ram, HDD's and a 7800GT and X1800XT

Another gripe...even empty these cabs are very very bloody heavy....

Youll need to remove the Ducting. I doubt the monster x1800xt will fit in w/ it there.

Its Bigger than the 7800GTX 256. Compared to the 512. I Know not.

But the x1800xt cooler is similar to the x850 xt pe cooler. Dual Slot and Rounded for the Fan.
