Not everyone mind you, but bench testing in a case really sucks.

True but when i do testing for my listeners we tend to spend less time looking at arw numbers that mean little to the average user and more looking at the experience of using the product. This means that for the testing I do the case is needed to provide a real experience in the use of the system.

You know what I just read this and it sounds like I am coming off with an attitude here and that is not my intent. The bench system is super and in fairness I wish i could do it more often. It is just a matter of a different audience.

Now all that being said I really think this goes back to my original thought in the review that the depth of the back tray area needed to be increased. The simple plastic clips might not hold up well under the steady pressure since the side panel is so thick it has little to no give.

Probably the biggest issue with the P180X Series of cases is the PSU placement and cable management, you either have to have a PSU with extra long cables, or by an extender for the 24 pin and 4/8 pin power sources.

Yeah, testing in a case really sucks, it isn't a bother the first couple times, but it really gets to be a pain in the ass after that.....Plus cases aren't built for the abuse.
