Quick Look at the Lian Li PC-A20: i7 Build

[Osterman]

Hi Osterman - I think I mentioned in a PM that I'm not able to take pics right now of the computer, but I will say it wasn't all that difficult to run the wires behind the motherboard tray (I don't have it set up beautifully, I can tell you that -- but it would be easy to tidy it up, just taking longer than I wanted to spend).

And ... just to clarify and repeat a couple of tricks that help make it look clean:

- I installed the hard drives with the connectors facing to the back of the case, to make it easier to hide the Sata and Power cables

- The optical drive cable does is visible, but you can't see it in the pictures (or much in real life), because of the black noise-dampening lining on the back panel

- The USB, Audio / power/reset/LED cables run underneath the bottom video card - so are hidden from view. They'd show in a non-SLI setup.

- I'll have to double check my motherboard I/O ports, but don't recall any particular problem with the P6T Deluxe motherboard. I do know that I've got several items connected to the USB ports, Lan Port, and have used the Clr CMOS switch without issue.

Yes yes, I remember that you cant show me another photos, but I was asking to those who also have this case... like Alex L or fatal_error.

Thanks anyway shazza, your pms where full of info for me.

Sometimes clean and classey win out over builds with bling enough to drip out of every opening.
What you accomplished is a beautiful build.
Quiet stated class with a powerfull system inside.
Very nice and congratulations for sticking to your plan.

It's very quiet ... the door and soundproofing help, as do the larger fans. I open the door and turn the fans up when benching or for longer periods of gaming.

Thanks, ikiller - pics taken with a Canon 40D and f/1.4 50mm lens (mostly).

Very nice and clean setup, good job!

Thank you, GAR.

Thank you sir. I stuck to my "mature" build plan, but not quite as successful on that front with my WC rig:
