After being quite annoyed with the clutter and lack of decent cooling in my Thermaltake Matrix case I decided to purchase a new Lian Li PC-V1000B+ case...and what a great decision that was.

Beautifully manufactured and everything fits where it should be with absolute ease.
The 3 separate sections in the case..mobo, psu and hd's is a great idea with separate cooling fans for each of them.

After going from a friggin noisy crappy case that didnt cool very well to a nice quiet and cool case is a welcome change.

PWMIC temps have dropped by 10C and CPU and NB have dropped by 5C.

The case itself is black and I changed the stock 120mm fans to a couple of nice blue LED ones just to make it shine.

Highly recommend this case...it has worked for me

i want a lian li ;( i dont really like my TT's Damier (Xasier) case as well...
its just not worth its price :\
arg, if only i can find someone to buy it

bought one myself and is in the workshop as we speak truly awesome case the best ive seen

how much was your case ... I heard lian li are over 100 _ - _ ... too rich for my blood

I have the PC65 and LOVE it. Lian Li cases are high quality units laid out the right way. They may not have as much "bling" as other cases, but I'm more concerned with quality, layout and features. I seriously doubt I'll build with anything else.

How much space is there for the PSU?

The case cost me $290.00 Australian and was well worth it.

As for PSU room....there is alot of room in there.

you people are rich .... so much money for a case ... mine was only 40 dollars

how cool is your case Eors ?
since you got lian li ....

Took me along time to get the nerve up to spend the money for a Lian-Li. All I can say is WOW! I've looked at alot of cases in my time and worked on a few. The Lian-Li is top of the line in everyway.

PWMIC temps have dropped by 10C and CPU and NB have dropped by 5C.

Havent check actual internal case air temp....but it feels nice and cool

is it strong? i dont like cases that flex, mine does that a little but it was only $60

I love my Lian Li case. They have modders and watercooling in mind with their designs.


However, another great case is the Stacker. It seems to be the standard watercooling case due to the size, price, and amount of options.

Is it strong....bloody oath...tough as dog balls

They are not flimsy at all

useless post without PICTURES!

When I work out how to do it I will

List of cases that I know don't flex:

CM Stacker
Armor
Armor Jr.
Antec Nine Hundred

Excuse the wiring..needs to be tidyed up but I just had to put it together just to see how good it was.

The sides of the case are made of 3-4mm plate aluminium which makes it really strong. Even without the sides on the case is extremeley rigid.

does that case come with a side window ?

i am looking for a new case and want to add cpu watercooling for now and maybe later on for the video card

would a danger den watercooling fit in that case ?

i like how it looks but really want a sidewindow also

any ideas on cases that i can look over to decide -

thanks

They don't come with side windows from my knowledge but I know you can buy doors with a side window for that case from LIAN LI's web site and probably from any of their distributors. They do make excellent cases. I use to have the same one but it was silver. What is that near the 7900's heatsink........is that a chipset cooler?

thanks - so if i wanted that case - i would have to buy a extra side door to get the window ? that sucks in a way - but at least its a option

what picture are talking about - i dont have a pic of my case here

maybe got me confused with another members case -

would a water cooling kit fit good in that case - i want to try to clean up and fix all the wires better with the next case i get - also - what ligths do you have to use to make everything glow with uv etc. - i cant manage to get the right parts in ligthing to make it glow and bright -

i always read when uv ligthing hits the board it glows etc. and uv ligthing this and that - but i have yet to get the right ligthing that makes everything glow and bright - - i want to do my next case nice looking with lights and neat - means i will be stuck using my old computer in the mean time - but worth it if all goes well -

i got two cheap looking led lights - dosnt really do much to light it up

Looks great Im a bit of a antec fanboy as the product vs price seems realy good , lanli are a bit out of my reach
your system looks great too

If I may you seem to be have a leet system, check out nindeals for some bulk buying goodnes (set up by nintek) ( im whowalks1 there), you may find some good deals )also nintek is the ausy dfi distribiter.

Yep that is the thermalright chipset cooler...which works brilliantly even with no fan attatched to it

As for a side window...you can order them in Australia from www.pccasegear.com.au on special for $55...but they dont have a vent in the side for the exhaust fan

does anyone know if a dangerden water cooling with 240mm Rad fit on the TT amor jr. case in the front ? would a watercooling kit fit at all in the Jr. case ? -- also what about the aero cool masstige case - would water cooling fit in there ?

finding a case that fits my space and watercooling is stressing me out now - hard to find pics of those cases with a watercooling setup to check out -

any one know ?

thanks

wow, $40? that's a lot of money. Mine was only $9.95

LOL.. Mine is $400 CAD...:cool:
