Rocketfish case aka Lian Li

[Russian]

The LIAN LI PC-A71B looks really close to it on the outside. The inside has some different options though.

Yeah. So far ive found out that the PC-70 has very similar side panel... so we will find one that fits... Id like to do my own mod... i think thats what i'll do. I will mod my own window on my own time while i keep the window i order online.

Well, was in Atlanta Friday.....and while most of the ATL BB's still had the case listed at full retail, had an employee check their RSS and found a few GA stores with the $47 price.

Got two from the Buckhead store....last two they had.

There are a couple in Macon, a couple in Augusta, and six in Savannah.


Now, the question is how is the best way to fit a Thermochill PA120.3 inside the case? Guess modding the top is the way to go with it, right?

Picked this puppy up over the weekend. Took a coupon and a bit of talking down to get em to 80, which is more than I would've liked to pay but no other store close to me has them for the lowest price so whatever. I modded the top and fit 3x 120mm exhaust fans. Also reversed the rear fan and the graphics card fan to turn them into intakes. You may say "but what about the exhaust coming from your PSU rising up the back of the chassis" but that thing isn't even blowing any heat. Corsair VX550 FTW.

I have never had a system run this cool on air. Even @ 4.25GHz and 1.445 volts, the CPU temp still doesn't bust 60 degrees C on either core. Nothing in my system is warm to the touch, except the backside of a PCB's socket area and the VRM heatsink. Not gonna worry too much about those

That's my plan. I'll post pics and let you know how it works out.

If you take the harddrive racks out and mount your drives in the 3.5" and 5.25" bays, you might be able to fit a PA120.3 in the bottom if you dont like the top.

A 3x120 would be tight, especially a PA. I've got my MCR220 down there at the moment.

If you have a short or modular PSU, and you remove the front intake fan you MIGHT be able to fit the radiator in there, but it'll be snug.

2x120 however fits fine, and pulls more than enough air up through the holes surprisingly.

Yes, that is true.... the red aluminum 2 side mouse pad is a rebranded Razer. I also think the Dynex and Rocketfish branded audio and video cables are Monster Cables, but I can't be sure.

Actually, I need to correct myself - the red aluminum 2 sided mouse pads made for Rocketfish are NOT re-branded Razer's - they are actually made by Cooler Master.

The $49.00 price seems too be hit and miss at the BestBuy's. A friend of mine got one from a BB by his house for $49, but when i went in theye were sold out, the BB by my house has 10 of them but the Manager wouldnt budge on the $119 price, he said something about some stores were clearing stock.
so, today i passed another BB, went in and got one for $70.00.

couldnt be happier with this case, nice, just nice lowered my temps by 8c using less fans than my Antec case...

[cabbspapp]

I would buy one if I wasn't putting together a LAN rig.

Man I just bought a Lian Li PC-A05B case and it's great looking and a really neat small case and what not but after seeing this pricing and dealing with kinda high temps with my overclock in the small A05B I had to run out and pick up one of these. Has anyone had problems with routing cables to keep them hidden? I put most of them behind the drive cages in my A05B. Didn't know if it was necessary to cut any holes to accommodate this. Guess I might start the hw transfer tomorrow .

[Uberbob102000]

I'm looking to get one of these, anyone get theirs around Temecula and if you did how much? Thank you

[C'DaleRider]

Like was mentioned in another thread on another forum......pretty much go into any BB, look for the case and see what price they're asking.

If it's not at the $48 price, nicely ask a salesperson to check their RSS for other stores around.....they can check any surrounding area for stock level and pricing and cut a lot of leg work out for you.

[nullface]

Where do i put my PA?

[GAR]

Just got one for $50, this is a steal at this price, its huge, and best of all, it is made by LIAN LI!!!!!

[teko]

Damn, I got my V2000B for 40$ but that was used, not that was any dmg to it, but it lags alot of parts.. Sometimes I would love to live in the US :p

[MINIz guy]

I've been trying to get one of these cases for $50 without any luck. The closest store has it for $119.99, the second closest is out of stock and I can't get a price quote from calling the third closest.

[runmc]

I picked up four today - The Nemesis got five @ $52. I may go back and grab one more tonight.

[mattd390]

Man my Lian Li a05b ran 4c cooler than the rocket fish case. I guess due to its larger size that air flow isn't as consistent... damm dead zones. Any ideas?

[Circaflex]

The reason some do not have it at the super low price is from a business standpoint if they are selling well at 100+ dollars why mark it way down? The stores who are marking them super low are doing so because they just dont sell in that area, clearing things out for inventory is pretty much whats going on. My store in Tustin has about 4 of them @71.99

[GAR]

i got one for 50 bucks, cannot beat it at this price, i gave it to a friend of mine tho, was a bit too big for me.

[gunner46]

Best Buy in Orange Park, Fl has five on shelf. 47.00 before tax.

[stayfrosty]

i bought 2 @ 52$ each at the price you simply CANNOT go wrong these cases are so lian li. The fans even say lian li corporation on then i busted out laughing when I saw that.

Id like to get a windowed side panel if someone finds one that fits be sure to post which one it is.

[Polizei]

Windowed side panel is part number W-75B. Performance PC's has it.

Windowed side panel is part number W-75B. Performance PC's has it.

Actually, there are two different windowed side panels for this case....the W-75A/B as you mentioned (which is just a windowed panel), and the W-75AP/BP, which is a vented windowed side panel. (FYI....the "A" is silver, the "B" is black.)

Both panels are found at Performance PCs and at FrozenPCs.

PerformancePCs calls the W-75AP/BP a PC-G70/G70B panel (strange they don't follow Lian-Li's naming convention) while FrozenPCs names the panels correctly.

PPC's W-75B panel.

PPC's G-70B panel.


GrozenPC's W-75B panel, although they call it a PC-75B panel.

FrozenPC's W-75BP panel.


Lian-Li's page for the W-75A/B panels.

Lian-Li's page for the W-75AP/BP panels.

WTF, the side panels are more expensive than the case itself, w00t.
