Antec P182 owners

[llwyd]

Just a quick word of advise, when you receive your P182 or before you next lock the front panel shut, remove the whole front fascia and tighten the screw that hold the arm of the latch of the locking mechanism. And I mean REALLY tighten. Mine managed to loosen itself to the point where I turned the key and nothing happened and now i've had to take all the panels off, ruining my cable management

Normally I wouldnt deem this sort of info worthy of its own thread but I've seen quite a few people have got them on order

Not just for servers, any computer where you dont want someone getting little grubby mits inside.

Even if you lock it, doesnt help much, as the door flexes from top so the button can still be pushed if you use something like a pen. If you get wht i mean

Anyone willing enough to break into it would just undo the thumb screws tbh...
