I can see a mcr320 fitting in the front there's a start :up:
i think just from the tube grommets in the back, lian li expected this to be used as an external radiator case. that said, theres a lot of potential.
the sheer size of this case would allow for mounting 2 or maybe even 3 tripple rads on the exterior.
mcr320 in the front mcr220x2 maybe and a mcr120 i can see that fitting internally as for the thermochills and feser's im not sure
This case just won sexiest case award.
I was curious when I saw the external pictures in their ads awhile ago. But damn. The internal shots are amazing.
It'll require a ton of modding though.
Only thing I have a gripe about is the fan cutout in the back. it's a rounded corner square and not a circle like all their other cases. oh well. I'm over it.
Depending on the length of the case, you might be able to tightly fit a triple in the bottom and top.
But all the angled shots make it hard to tell...
here are the specs

Where do i put my PA120.3 without modding?
You dont.Quote:

Bro I'm waiting your case pass that Ugly case:D
probably removed the 80mm fans though...
A kind of tour around the case: http://www.lian-li.com.tw/v2/en/prod...s_index=61&g=q
Hmm, what size are the pipe gromets ? Big enough for 1/2"ID ?
Maybe a 480GTX with some modding for the front. More modding to replace the 80mm fans with 120s maybe?
good gad man that case is huge is it the pictures or is that sucker that tall?!?!!?! but it dose look sexy maybe put 2 of them together one for hardware and one for all the water cooling goodies with a custom acrylic made piece to separate it and have led's light it up...ooooo ahhhhh
just a few ideas from a nub tho.
I can sense the power cables for the HDD's causing some people headaches.
If only they could of made the V2000 that tall and have a black interior.
Well they are hot swappable, so maybe they have a longer cable to accept that sata power. If not its not hard to get something to extend it to reach down there. I mean it seems like lian li has thought of everything else in that case, I'm sure they have an easy solution for it.
At first view it seems like its some massive case, volume wise its a good bit less than a v2000 though.
Just very shallow and taller, almost like a mozart, very compartmentalized as well.
Looks absolutely stunning!:eek:
Pity about the 140mm fans and the layout though, makes things difficult for those of use who are hesitant to take a blade to a ~$300 case...
Loving that. I wonder how long it will be for the 140mm case fan standard to push. What a beautiful case from the outer, plenty of options inside. Any ideas on the price?
i'd like the simpler look of a a77 case.
320 up front, 2x 220s top and bottom with mods...
That case is amazing!. Wow... Definitely a great case if you have the side panel facing towards you. That way the optical drives are still facing you. Love it.
Damn thats really nice how Lian Li are making them 140mm fans.
very nice once those 140mm rads come in, gives you that extra option
Ugly :down:
nice case, not for L/C
Why do you say it's not for liquid cooling?Quote:

It actually has a smaller volume than a v2000, or rocketfish, but quite a bit. It's much shallower.
Just need a custom shroud for the front for those 140mm fans to a 3x120mm rad ;)
i like internal setupsQuote:

could u swap out the 140's for 120's?
with some creativity, probably. the wider fan cutouts could aid in mounting rads closer the front of the cases without modding.
I would keep the Lian LI Rocketfish for $50 :up:
Same space, same finish but less complicated blemishes inside.
Thumbs up for using 140mm fans :up:
Ill stick with my stacker stc-01 tho...
honestly this case will be a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:. Heres my reason why.
The bottom looks like only a 3 drive stack cage, so it means probably just enough room for a 120mm fan. Which means you cant use thick or large class rads down there, because there slightly wider then a 120mm fan.
The top has side mounting drives, but the holding system is very unique. Its gonna make fitting a rad up there very difficult as well.
So your limited on the bottom and limited on the top. WTF does this system have 4 PSU mounts for. Im kinda lost on this.
The 4 tube areas in the rear as someone said expected this unit to be a externally cooled unit if you used water. That being said, disrupt, i think you should look at the 343B instead. You'll probably be a lot happier.
don't you have a v2k to work on disrupt >:(
NaeKuh: 4 PSU mounts ? Where ??
yes i do...Quote:

^ makes it hard for me that only has like 10-15 sec inbetween each break. :\
Yo bro, my advice, get a koolance 120x4 shourd and top and use that to house the rad. As i see it now, its gonna be tough to fit everything internally and spec it to the way you and i usually have it.Quote:

So big, yet so hard to fit everything internally. I don't see where to put a pump in a good spot without making routing a mess.

The top mesh, i figured was a PSU.
I think you had your modding glasses on, you saw where PSUs could go. ;)

It is unfeasibly tall but I like it anyway.
I want that case, im so tired of my case now. I want one with the depth like that. My case looks like a darn box car under my desk. :rofl:When will it come out?
http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/...cat=738&page=1
stick one of those 140x3 rads in the front
you'd probably be happier with a LianLi A77 case...
video tourhttp://www.truveo.com/TYR-PCX2000/id/3789634145
has some potential, but i think theres a lot of other cases that are much better for w/c than this. damn loooks sexy tho.
