Lian Li v2000 and v1200 thread

[disruptfam]

Ok, that dual plate is pretty cool.

yes very kool....

[marcus000]

Cheers guys, I'll post up a few of the other builds we've done a little later.

[64dragon]

marcus, that looks sweet.

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.

From GAM an aussie outlet that sells Bulgin switches. They say-
"The switches are very easy to install through simple 19mm diameter holes."

[Frankenchrist]

Thanks!!!

[bullcrew]

I do indeed.

Where did you get the top plate for the fans?
I need to get one for duals in the v1000 roof.

Heres mine with a freezone elite.

I had a dream of V3000B

Oh if they would just make the V2000 a little bigger.

[Frankenchrist]

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.

The grill is an AC Ryan 120.2 Thrust Grill...

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)-

[Jodiuh]

That's the best looking case LL I've seen in a long time Frankenchrist. Do you have any more pics?

[Frankenchrist]

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

If not where can I find this plexi window in Canada?

[marcus000]

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.

[ls206]

here's my V1200+






I'll put a shot with the side panel off when I have time

[disruptfam]

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.

That's not-so-great news...I'm willing to file, it just looked like it was meant to be in that case because it appears to be the same mesh that the case is made out of. Anyway, it will be here in a couple of days so I'll give it a shot.

No real biggie. Just took a bit off where indicated-

[Evi]

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.

[Jedda]

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.

[Frankenchrist]

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
