Hi Everyone, another from England :-)

Stumbled on PimpRig as a reuslt of looking for help --- with my shiny new Antec P160 case.

It's driving me crazy !!

Does anyone here use one so as I can weap no more. It's a problem with (gulp) the wires for the front fancy panel.

Waiting and hoping ...............

Thanks for that. I do have the manual and have read the online pdf but the problem I have is that the wiring in the case bears no relation to that in the manaual.

Antec (on phone) confirmed that the firewire and usb plugs may well be the same as there was some error at the fitting stage but that I could guess. At the same time he warned that if I guess wrongly (and connected the firewire to usb in error) it would damage my board (odd advice then!).

Also, the manual gives instructions on connecting the two heat sensors, and yet my case only has one :-/

Again, Antec did not know why this was so. I am quite happy running with one but then (apparently) the temperature display would fail as every 3 seconds it tries to switch to the second sensor and would then stop.

All very odd and it makes me want to (a) return the P160 and (b) not buy another.

Any ideas at all as to why this has only one sensor. Oh, the usb and firewire plugs are wired identicaly and have the same corner pin blanked off :-(

Am I alone and just unlucky with this or do Antec cases vary in their build/design? :-/
