Hello.
My old Antec P180 ATX case's plastic tabs for the 6/six front fascia
(3/three on each side) are down to one/1 now. Is there a way to fix them
or do I need to buy a new ATX case? :(
Thank you in advance. :)

Another option (than Red Green Show repairs already mentioned by myself
and others): contact Antec to see if you can buy a new front cover. Of course, if they charge more for the part and shipping than to buy a new
P180 case then buy a new case and transfer mobo and other components to
the new case.
You said you have their P180 model. Maybe another model, like the P183,
has a cover that will fit. They list some spare parts you can order at https://bobteam.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/1000144031-performance-series-spare-parts-list.
They do list a front bezel replacement part for P180/P180B/P182. I read
that Antec came out with a thicker bezel so it won't warp as much, so if
you get a replacement bezel then it could be the stronger one.
If the case is still within the warranty period, you could try getting
Antec to ship to you for free a new front cover. However, I suspect
they will claim the breakage of the securing tangs is consider abuse and
not covered by their warranty.
I saw a P180 case listed at eBay for $33 (but there is a shipping cost).
Says it has a non-fuctioning from USB port but that could be from an
improper hookup. If the port was truly defective, you could swap in the
one from your front cover. The price might be cheaper than ordering a replacement from Antec.

Did it say anything else broken like tabs? :P
