I've built with both the Nine Hundred and P182... I have to say I vastly prefer the Nine Hundred. Yes you can make the P182 neat, and yeah its by using the cable management provided. However, I found myself removing some of the extra plastic pieces that were to act as guides, shields, etc from the power supply 'compartment' as they got in the way. Further, even with some very decent power supplies, you would need an extender on the 8pin Mobo 12v cable to route all over the place in the P182. This is not so in the Nine Hundred, as you can simple run it back along the PS and up the back edge.
As different cases are favoured by different folks, I am sure we all have our own favorites and could argue over them for days. Personally tho, and it is an opinion many others I know share; I prefer the Nine Hundred, and use on myself. The CM Stacker variants are also up above the P182 on my list. Perhaps it comes down to my liking an open environment vs compartment after compartment after compartment to route through.
IMHO Nine Hundred > P182
