I'm in the process of building a new system and want to use a Vapo LS with it.

My question is: what would be the ideal case? (i figure any case with PSU at bottom wont be a good match as the evap head wont reach the CPU socket - correct?)

Lian Li PC60/61/65/75

Expensive but awesome

I have to agree, i personally like the black combo.

Black all the way :)

Silver Lian Li's (Ive never seen one if real life) look strange. But my pc61 (black) is so hot when i touch it, it burns :p:

What you guys think about this one:

Aparently its a model only available in the scandinavian market (where i am) - looks like a model 60 but with 120mm at rear instead of 80mm.

yeah ive never seen that, but thats cloe to a pc-65b. I have a pc-65b but it has 2 80mm fans opposed to that 1 120mm.

Yeah, those are the newer models... They are called PLUS or something like that. PC-60Plus, PC-7Plus and they are sporting a 120mm in front and 1 at the rear too I think. They are available in Canada and USA too :/

beware.. Lian Li is so tiny.
I fit in two 7800GTX and HD bay and the edge of card is so close
that sli powerconnectors are very hard to install.
I had to take off harddrive cage.
With 850 SSI installed I can't use 1st and 2nd drivebay :(
Lucky I only bought 1 lian li case with 2 vapo's.
I will be buying some other case and cut it myself.

Thanks for the pictures - that is exactly what i plan on putting in the box, 2x 7800GTX.

Lian Li seems ideal - altho maybe a bit tiny - but what are the alternatives (with a good fit)?

a bigger Lian Li, LOL.

75 or something.

that will be really unbalanced.
Maybe I'm thinking of thermaltake.. same size but different positioning.
Any recommendation case to be an experiment? :D

The "old" PC71 isnt bad option
