Project: my lil LianLi v2000

[diredesire]

Out of curiosity, how many hard drives are you planning to put into this beast? One thing I've noticed about all the "beautiful" WC builds is that they've got a lot of flexibility chopping off hard drive mounting brackets, etc, because they tend to have a minimal amount of HDDs. I'm looking forward to seeing what you are doing with this guy

well that's true but it depends on the tower too. for example, I have 9 hdds and 2 ssds in my mm and could mount a few more ^^
but for the v2000...well I will use the lian li ex-h34 hdd cage for 4 drives. don't know where to mount the 2 ssds atm, maybe at one of the fans, directly to the 5,25" plate or maybe somewhere else

the bottom part will be for the watercooling parts but I have to wait for the radiators to check the possibilities.
my first thought was to mount one dual in the front part of the top and a dual + quad at the bottom. on the other hand, I should be able to mount a quad at the top and a triple + quad at the bottom...well I have to wait till the parts arrive, at least I ordered 2x dual, 1 triple, 2 quad xspc to have all options left
and in the end...my gf has to decide

That's true

I know what it's like having a "boss." I was just curious because I have 10 HDDs, no SSDs (yet) and I'm working in a LL V1000

I just bought one of the ABS/Tagan black pearl cases (V2000 rebadge), and i was curious to see what others are doing. I have an EX-34NB 3:4 converter, but it won't help me much if I need at least 6 other bays. I still have to look around at the layout of the case to really decide what I want to do...
