Lian li v2100 inside shot
0_0 , someone has gone with my approach to quantity of fans in one case ;>
I'm planning to get me some V1000 series when i'l have some funds.

That what i'm working on mine to look like when i get my lian li v2000b+
Those cases are amazing. I saw people actually fit their phase change at the bottom. My jaw dropped when I saw this was possible http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/1369/v2000cl1.jpg
yeah, it is possible , just remove the bottom rivets for the hard drives and there you go : ]Quote:

Its is currently away getting some special treatment with welshtom @ ChilledPC. :D
looking good baron! Are installing watercooling at all?If i remove the hd racks do you think i could fit 2 x triple rads down there.Similar style to what vadim does with the double and the triple on top?I don't have a huge enermax so i'm hoping it will fit
cheers
It'd really depend on your PSU. And even if the PSU is short you'd have to make sure all the cables came out on the other side so it wouldn't interfere with the bottom radiator.Quote:

I went simple and put one on top, outside the case, here's some old shots.

Forgive the mess, that was the first time I used watercooling and I had to route all kinds of extensions to get power to everything that needed it. I'm still using the case but no longer using watercooling now, so I have three intakes on top. Keeps everything quite cool in there.
It looks like the PSU I used at the time (PC Power & Cooling 510 ASL) would fit with a 3x120 rad in there, judging by the length of the bracket it's sitting on.
i have a thermaltake 850w which is probably the smallest 850w out there dimension wise.As far as i know that is.....Quote:

I do know it's going to be a very tight fit

where is the best place to pick up one of these v2000?
I got mine at Newegg. I'm not sure if any places would carry it locally, but if you find one I'd suggest getting it there to avoid shipping.Quote:

Thanks guys. I will have to order it, no one around here was anything that nice.
looking good^^^^ WAIT A SECOND IS THAT A THERMALTAKE WATERCOOLING KIT OH OH YOUR IN TROUBLE.......................
man these case are so awsome!!! I can't wait till my next pay check to get rid of my crappy P180. :p
Quick question i have a thermaltake toughpower 850w psu and the cables for the psu are relatively short.When the psu is sitting on the lowest section on the case can the cables reach the mobo,hard drives,disc drives and vga's??? without extensions
cheers fellaz
we are talking about V1000 or V2000 series ?Quote:

v2000 series. Does anyone here have a thermaltake toughpower and a v2000?
If so can you post pics or let me know if it reaches from the bottom section.
cheers
anyone out there?
you can invert the psu plate on the v2000 which puts the psu directly under the divider.
Pretty cases! Is there room to put cables behind the board plate?
thank youQuote:

No, the motherboard tray is pretty much right up against the back panel. You could probably get SATA cables back there, and fan extensions for sure, but thats pretty much the limit I think.Quote:

All that with only one pump? and a D5? Wouldn't a DDC be better with the restriction 3 rads and 4 blocks will give? Shouldn't it use more than one pump?Quote:

Still waiting for some parts to tidy things up
Is that VGA an 8800gts ? IMHO , you will fry your card, need sinksk on VRM's and NVIO i'd say, i have an HR 03+ and it gets quite hot even with a fan blowing over the sinks...Quote:

i've been able to fit my 24 pin and all my other cables behind the mb tray.

nice stuff !!! im in the process of finishing my v2000 around 70% complete
I really like the way that 343 (is that the model?) fan grille blends in with the perf'ed front, very nice. Any thoughts on spray painting the inside framework black and maybe add those Lian-Li DVD bay covers? Or is the framework only visible in flash photography? I really like those cases, really searching for a reason to have 2 computers to make use of that pile of 'extra' parts...if I find one, the V-series is on the top of the list for a home for those.Quote:

i have to get a good pic tomorrow when i can get some decent light in the room. check my sig for the comp specs and water specs. i spent the whole weekend getting the water cooling set up and it's soo worth it!
Here's mine. LianLi V2000, Vapo and water cooled. Even this case is not big enough to hold all the components I wanted in.
@ terente0081
Very Nice :)
i have got also three v2000 in Black @home
Case 1 Gaming PC with modded 2 Mainboard and Watercooled
Case 2 only for Watercooled Parts for Case 1
Case 3 Big Fileserver with 17 HDD's pics @ Homepage are old will update them soon
Pics you can finde @ www.hardware.feichti.com
but at the Moment Case 1 & 2 are under build and they will be looking totaly different in 1-2 Weeks. Than i will post new Pics

That's gotta be the best v2000 i've ever seen.Very well done.Can you post some more internal pics without the door both sides please.
cheers
For those who have cut holes in their case for cable management
Did you have to take all the inside out, and then replace/re-rivet it all again?
if you take literally everything out... i guess you can keep the inside cleaner
vs leaving it on and having to remove he bits that come off when your dremeling
Greaet build terenti. I love the clean look. ;). Is that a matrix orbital display? Suites the case.
I know its just a v1000 but its my baby. The v series Lian Li just rock. Please excuse the fan cable for the video card waiting for my panaflo replacement.
Unbelievably cool these rigs look guys. So much prettier than my wee Stacker. :D
Nice wiring, I love a machine where the wires vanish. It seems that the application of sound insulating material really cleans up the internal appearance as well, gives me some ideas! :up:Quote:

I started with 1000 grit, then moved to 1500 grit, then 2000. This takes 4-5 hours to get it smooth enough. Always wetsand and make sure the paper is clean/changed often. After all that then I used 3M rubbing compound to fininsh it off.
Very very nice - excellent cable management!! How/where did you tuck the PSU cables, I didn't realize there's room behind the motherboard tray? What sound dampening material are you using, did you find it made a noticeable difference considering the vent holes all over?Quote:

My main goal was to cover up those holes to give it a cleaner appearance, I never ran it without the stuff so I'm unsure how much difference it makes.
Here is a couple shots of the cable management on the backside of the case. Hehe just noticed a cable I should zip tie... :)
I think the same, can you post more pics and specificacions about your systems.Quote:

Anybody having problems with the rail that holds the sides of the case on vibrating and producing noise? I am experiencing this with a V2000B. I have an eheim 1250 in the bottom which is bolted down through a pad of neoprene and a bunch of 120mm fans...
Well atm i have no doors on my v2000,i'm in the process of cutting them and putting moder's mesh for airflow.Quote:

I have two slimline triple rads in the bottom section. Originally had two larger triple rads would not fit.So i squeezed two smaller 3x rads.I had to sacrafice performance to fit both of them in... But i'm very happy with my project...

Thanks for the info. Looks v.good. In terms of fitting the modders mesh, thats pretty much what I was considering. Just abit bothered about cutting into the side panels of a brand new lian li! What are you using to cut it? A dremmel or do u have better tools?Quote:

@Dark Prodigy
nice unit.
What aditive do you use? and you polish the base of your lianli
Thanks. By additive I believe you mean my coolant right..? I use VooDoo Blue SupercoolantŪ. I lucked up and obtained some from a friend of mine that owns a few watercooled VooDoo PC's. Voodoo only gives its coolant out to registered customers for maintenance - he had a few bottles laying around and gave me a couple.Quote:

just pulled the trigger on a v2000AplusII with window.
i hope $300 worth of case gets me a lot.
It's worth it imho

you know you could have better temps if the top 120mm cooler would blow air INTO the case and not OUT of the case. At least it had that effect on mine 8800GTS ;]
no, i didn't know.Quote:

Excellent thread...I ordered a V1200B Plus case...this thread just gave me a bunch of ideas as to how I want it to look when done...great work everyone...hopefully more people will continue to contribute to this.
If anyone is interested, HardOCP had a dedicated thread to Lian-Li cases too and there is a lot of good work done there as well.
Karateo,
pull some of your cables behind the MB tray and to the other side of the case... clean up some cables...
and if you are going to put it on top of your dresser like that, remove the wheels for more stability...
it looks like you just got hit by an earthquake...
Very good , care for no drop the pc
hmm , i have mine V1000B sitting on the ground beside the desk , but i have the "break" set to off and the "rubber protection bands" on the wells , looks like it will not slide away when you have them on ect. Anyway a good clean cable management is a must in this case ;D , i must make some time to use the dremel to mod mod mod :cool:Quote:
