I just can't decide between the V2000 and the TJ07.
I like the looks of the V2000 a little more and it offers inverted ATX by default, but I don't know if the airflow at the bottom section is enough for two tripple rads without cutting the panels.

I have two triple rads in the bottom of my v2000,but you will need to cut the panels for good airflow...That's what i'm doing atm....
If your after a case that doesn't need any modding i would go for the tj07..But if you don't mind a lil work...I would go with v2000
the v2000 is alot more spacious and looks better in my opinion
cheers
not to mention V2000 is cheaper ;] (not much but still)Quote:

I think I will mail the panels to my dad, he's been working with metal for ages and can do wonders. I myself would probably just ruin them.

normally you will need to purchase the 5.25 hd cage to put the hdd there
it will fit a rad with 2x120mm fan ;] i checked the dimensions , and for the hdd cages i removed them, and one of them i used with the fdd-adapter to mount the hard drives in 5.25" bay , it works good :] :yepp:Quote:

my only option was sending mine oversea's which would cost 2 much!!!
can your dad laser cut mine too? =p

Nope, its exhausting air from the case. Tried it the other way round and case temp rockets, not surprising as its cooling 2 OCed quad cores and an 8800GTS.
Nice cases you guys have here! :)
Anyone here using an Asus Blitz/Formula in his V1000/V2000? If yes, du you have any problems with these boards in this case due to the heatpipes and the upside-down mounting?

one 120m single one twin 120m and the new quad 120m from vadim
Temps around 45 Deg C on all cores running WCG, GTS around the same temp when gaming/3D Mark. Res mounts are all standard stuff although I am using a Swiftech bracket to hold the EK Res clip in place. Wires could do with a tidy, I do love those builds where you cant see any cables, but just doesnt seem to happen for me, guess I just have too much stuff in there!Quote:

If so they are 120mm wide, and the Thermochills are 126mm wide. Do u recon there is enough space to get the thermochill's in there?
maybe a 120.2.... you can fit a 120.3 if you take out the psu thing (the thing that the psu sit's on) the thermochill 120.3 will hit it need to remove it to fit that size rad... and mount the psu high....
i couldn't say. but if you take the psu mount out then the psu wont get the air flow it need for the fan under neath it...
I think disruptfam meant to mount the PSU in the higher slot by revesing the back plate. That way you keep air circulation as much as poss, but can mount the tripple underneath it.
you will not fit 2 thermochills in the bottom section..... way 2 bigQuote:

i measured the bottom to the middle divide and you have 240mm to work with.... height wise
I ran into the same problem with my bigger rads awhile back...if you think you can squeeze them in you wont I've already tried lol
this is on the v2000 by the way
sorry dude
monitor keeper what temps r u getting with that setup???
well, i have ABIT AB9PRO, it has heatpipes on the chipset , it's mounted upside down and i didn't noticed ANY kind of cooling performance drop. That should take care of the "urban legend" with upside down heatpipes :p:
Anyway i don't have that kind of "problems" , share your thoughts guys :up:
Bah... its a right pain is that... and probably means I have to go for a TJ07, even though I prefer the look of the V2000. Only other option would be to fit them one in front of the other, rather than one on top of the other I guess. Not sure what that would do to airflow though.Quote:

if anybody is interested in a Lian Li PC-V2000B Plus Full Tower ATX Case...pm me...*-)
I just got a PC-V2000 and I was wondering if the power switch is:
a. easily removed without scratching anything
b. the same size as the bulgin/vandal style switches that they sell at xoxide, and frozen cpu
The cord is a 3 pin adapter and the mobo just has a two pin so I thought I would get an illuminated switch to spruce it up a bit.
Anyone?
Hmm... thats an interesting quesiton, cos I have 2 bulgin switches right here, and may well do the same thing when i get my case if they fit!
They seem like they would fit- the only thing that might be a problem is that the Lian-Li switch may be smaller? It's hard to say because the case is so damn huge it may just appear smaller :) . So when are ya getting your case? I'm curious to find out if they'll fit without use of a dremel or file.
Where have all the v1000/ 2000 owners gone?
one of my customer has done such modification for V2000 with Vandal switch. I am sure it is easy modification :) I would more worry about reset swtich as there is none :P
Did your customer's mod require a dremel or other such tools? I'm just trying to see what I'm in for.
The Bulgin is 19mm hole, same as V series Lian Li.
You can source a Lian Li reset switch from PerfPC if you want to add a reset that matches.
I used the one on my second half as a reset.
This is a build i've just completed for a customer...

wow that's nice marcus....
is that panel laser cut? and what rads are you using?
Yeh the panel was lasered and acrylic fitted for the window then mesh behind the text.
Rads are Black Ice 240 GTS in the roof and an XSPC R120-D in the bottom.
So when you say 19mm hole, that hole will accomodate a 22mm switch, 'cause that's what all the vandal's on PerfPC's are...I'm assuming the 22mm refers to the widest point of the switch.Quote:

Oh if they would just make the V2000 a little bigger.
I would like an adapter that allows you to put a 120mm fan in the drive bay covers...I'm off to look if such a thing exists before I get out the Dremel...
Would these accessories work? I believe I've seen a few of these earlier in the thread, but there's no compatibility charts on them.

I've also seen the mesh drive bay covers like some have here and I was wondering if there's a bracket or something that easily allows the mounting of a 120mm fan behind them like the one DearKook has on page 3 of this thread.

Thanks! Yeah, I linked to the same product on a different website...I'm currently debating hitting the buy button on this one (I need silver)-
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/65...tml?tl=g43c241
That's the best looking case LL I've seen in a long time Frankenchrist. Do you have any more pics?
That's not mine! It's DearKook's from page 3 of this thread. I agree, it's what I'm striving for wire-management wise. I have the v2000 and I just ordered the drive bay fan-mount that I linked to above. I'm curious to see when I add the new fan in front (for a total of 2 intakes in front) if I should keep the PCI slot fan http://www.frozencpu.com/products/53...tml?tl=g43c241
blowing on the PCI cards or exhausting hot air off of them. With just one fan on intake the CPU stayed a few degrees cooler with it exhausting, but the GPU was several degrees hotter. I'm thinking that with 2 fans on intake (the one that it comes with just blows into the Hard Drive/ PSU bay) the CPU will stay just as cold and hopefully so will the GPU. I also noticed that DearKook removed the black mesh that Lian-Li ships to put behind the rear exhaust fan and I think I'm going to remove mine as well.
Is there a way to order the V2000B with the plexi-glass window or you absolutely need to buy the window seperately?
I was about to order this case but I'd like to see what inside the computer :D
If not where can I find this plexi window in Canada?
The A+ Black Pearl ships with the window as standard, it's pretty much identical to the V2000 but the front panel is slightly different.
here's my V1200+

I'll put a shot with the side panel off when I have time :)
nice work man... please take pics in daylight..
Am using those on my V1000 x 2 build. You'll find you need to do a little filing to fit into the V2000 drive tower. There's not quite enough clearance between the small horizontal tangs intended to support the drives for the 525 bay housing to slide in. Take 1/32" off top and bottom of the side flanges and it'll fit.Quote:

Can a v2000 cool a system sufficiently with just the two stock fans? I see some people with Lian-Lis on air, but it seems like the way the intake/exhaust fans are set up would not yield enough air flow through such a large case to keep a high-end system cool. I really like the looks of the LLv2000, but after putting out the money for a new system inside such an expensive case, I would not be able to afford a good water setup for a while, and it would concern me to use such minimal cooling compared to other cases such as a stacker or the NZXT Zero, especially considering both of those cases combined cost less than a v2000 + a side panel.
The whole case is a radiator. Hence all the holes. It's more about design of airflow than number of fans and the V series Lian-Li cases have airflow design sorted.
Thanks Jedda, that will surely save me some time. I'm not against filing it's just that I figured a Lian-Li aftermarket product would fit seamlessly in a Lian-Li case. And as to Evi's point above, the stock fans do keep it cool, I just could've lived without a few 5" drive bays in trade for an intake fan that blows on the mobo in addition to the one that blows on the HD's and PSU- IMHO... :)
woah dude can you downsize your pic's abit.....
also can you take some internal shot's

I added two fans to the window of the case and tidied up the wiring a little.

Here's a couple of questions for the v1000 & 2000 owners. I have this case:
http://www.xoxide.com/lian-li-pc-v2000aw-plus-2.html
1. Which way do you have the fan oriented that's mounted by the pci slots?
2. Which way do you have your PSU mounted in the lower chamber?
3. Or which way do you think they both should be mounted to keep things the coolest?
I have 1 intake fan on the lower and upper chambers on the front of the case, 2 80mm exhaust fans in the PSU chamber, and 1 exhaust fan behind the CPU and the PCI slot/side panel fan.
I have also figured out that by removing the black mesh that they ship on the rear fan, my cpu temp seems to have dropped by between 1 and 2 degrees. It's not much but it's something.
Thanks
Hey, so i decided to rebuild everythinng after reading some of the users feedback. I have an extra 1x120mm rad laying around that im going to through into the loop but im really not sure where to tye it in at or place it. much help would be appreciated.
