There are some awesome rigs in here, too many to mention but I wish I had bought the 2000 or the 1000 plus as I can't really do much else with mine, damn pa120.3 is huuuge. I moved up to 4gb since the pic.
Could put than put the rad on the roof and get space for X2 CF... Hmmm...
Keep it up and I'll be popping in from time to time to drool
My new Alphacool 120mm rad in my rig:D

I'm using the stock Intel cooler until WCing in a few months. Until then, should I use the duct? Should the fan be intake or exhaust? Should the duct be at more of an angle, or should it run alongside the side of the case?

@ Rockford, that is utter beauty! Are those silverstone fans? What kind, cfm, noise etc? I like it a lot more than your avatar rig, and I loved that one as well!
Thanks;)
Fans are Silverstone FM123:

106cfm max:D
@ RockfordFosgate I'm considering doing a similar setup, and I was wondering what kind of temps are you getting.
I would like to know the temps for everything eg. load/idle temps for CPU, GPU, NB, and SB.
Thanks
40 dB x3 holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: :eek:Quote:

Ya...I had to make those raptors stand out ya know! LOL! Now I just gotta make some time to mod the side panel with a nice small plexi to show them off without having to remove the panel.Quote:

I don't use the duct and I have the fan exhausting. For some reason if you ask a stock fan placement question in this thread it just gets ignored in favor of case :banana::banana::banana::banana: and apparently mountain biking -page back a little bit and you'll see I've asked similar questions 3 times. IMHO stock fan placement for the v2000 and 1000 would be a good baseline for anyone looking at this thread who purchased this case. I personally have the v2000+ which has the side window with the PCI slot fan mounted in it. I have that fan blowing on my GPU directly, the fan behind the CPU is exhausting hot air and my Zalman 9500 is blowing right into it. I added an intake fan in the middle 3 drive bays that blows right at the cpu (this case should've had an upper intake fan IMHO), the bottom fan is an intake as well, and there are 2 80mm fans exhausting right above the PSU. I hope this is helpful, and if anyone has other opinions about fan placement please be forthcoming with them because, I've asked 3 times in the appropriate thread about the case in the title. :confused:Quote:

my watercooling thread help and advice needed xs linkage
I'm thinking about buying a Lian Li but I cant decide which model...
v1000B plus II
or
v1200B plus II
How big is difference between these two? And I was thinking about getting the v1000B only because you could by a special v1000 side-window panel, maybe it fits the v1200b too?
Please help me out guys!
The v1200 is a longer case, I think its a good 5-6 inches longer if I remember correctly, so it can take eatx boards. So the side panel for the v1000 will not fit.
The v1000 is a very nice case, but if you need lots of room the v1200 is the way to go.
Well I'm not gonna do watercooling (yet :rolleyes: ) so yeah I guess v1000 vill be good.Quote:

All these nice Lian Li V2000s make me want to get one. -looks at wallet- I could go without food for a couple days :P
Definitely some nice V2000/V2100 setups around here. May have to post my my system once I get the side panels cut.
V1000 is tight for psu length if you use both lower drive cages.Quote:

With both drive cages in the lower section even a Corsair HX-620 is a tight fit lengthwise and any 750 watt psu on the market is too long.
question for the guys that have the rads in the bottom of the case with air blowing down, have you cut holes in the bottom or have you just left it so that the air goes through the case holes :shrug:
The holes would be too restrictive; I'd at least cut around the grills.
man after seeing this thread... i feel obligated to go watercooling on my case...
though it is not a lian-li v2000 it is basically the same thing through another manufacturer... which will be the abs aplus black pearl... here are pics of my case

How good are these cases when it comes to aircooling? Can I easily fit a TRUE inside of a V1000?

nice ferrari 360 poster.. i needa get me one of those :)
and this black pearl... or even v2000's are delicious! i love the layout so much.. i just need get the front 5.25 bay fan converters.... until then i leave the side door off...
I just put a new video card in and replaced my tubing. I will NEVER go back to water dye. I tried all kinds and the ones I liked would lose their UV after about a month and then look like crap. Distilled and PT nuke from here on out.

White powder coated duder - pretty hard wearing too ! Bought it like this from Tom at Chilled Pc, i run 2 pc's and this is my new everyday machine - got a new gamer on the way in a modded TJ07 and i've started work on a big case project too so its a busy time ! :)Quote:

I'm trying to figure out if I'll be able to setup the TRUE so it is vertrical but from the looks of it I don't think so. Mounting it horizontally looks like it may hurt performance, create a dead spot above my ram, and may not even fit because of the 38mm Deltas :shrug:
And just for the record, I got mine and it fits SNUGLY in the three drive bays. It does not require screws either. It fits so SNUGLY that you don't actually need to screw it in despite the fact that you can't screw it in even if you want to because all of the holes on it don't line up with the the slots and holes for screws on the drive bays. It looks great and works as advertised but with it installed as it currently is, I can push on it and not get it to budge despite having no screws holding it in. I did not need to dremel anything. In fact I could have just drilled holes in it in order to have the added piece of mind of having it screwed in, but it's not. I've made peace with that.Quote:

It has cooled my case by 3-4 degrees C since I put it in.
^^^^ to the above poster... is there a link to that... would definitely help when i wanna go water cooling and have to take off the hard drive rack on the bottom part

Look around on those sites for which one you want, there are different versions for different fans (80mm, 120mm)
whats the best household cleaner product that can polish/clean up the v2000/v1000s ???

The V1000 was really tight for water cooling, this was a buddies of mine I did for him.
http://3dxtreme.net/other/Jeremiah/IMG_4991.JPG
Had to cut the front to allow the tubing to run to the bottom easier.
http://3dxtreme.net/other/Jeremiah/IMG_4996.JPG
My V2000 dwarfs it.
http://3dxtreme.net/other/Jeremiah/IMG_5000.JPG
This is my V2000.
http://3dxtreme.net/other/ontap/New%...e/IMG_4736.JPG
Notice both systems can be entirely be pulled out as one. So if there is a problem we don't even have to break the loop, can just remove the blocks and pull the whole setup in a few mins.
v2000 ftw :)

Watercooling the RAID controller? Ambitious.
Somehow, the while led's make your set up not look as bad even with the miles of cables :D

Dreamtem, how is your San Ace staying on your TRUE?
I used zip ties and ran them through 2 holes on the fan. The pointed end of the zip tie is run through the whole and in between the fins on the heatsink, then I take another zip tie and attached it to the pointed end. Then I cut off both ends of the 2 zip ties. I did this on 2 corners of the fan and it holds in place quite nicely, and it almost looks like the fan is floating in place.Quote:
