pikachinks Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Due to my evergrowing collection of hard drives, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a Lian Li VB-2000 Plus. I ordered it from xoxide.com and got in yesterday but couldn't mess with it due to the fact i had to help install some headlights. (sorry went offtopic lol) I know.. I know its another Lian Li.. Here's the box in came in. My GOD this thing was huge. After the box was taken off.. packaging was very nice.. :eek2: Wow.. the case is probably the cleanest.. well built i ever seen.. craftsmanship was just insane.. Let's take a quick peek inside shall we?.. Wow.... sexyness.. so much space.. *drools*.. :eek: Just check out that rear end.. mhhhhhhhmm rofl.. Well.. next task.. move out of the old case to the new case lol.. technically I think I can stick my old case inside the new one lol.. Anyone got any suggestions for a dual 120mm radiator mount? I shall be brainstorming today lol.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind you could always go back to air for a month or two until you can afford the right gear for such a nice case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a triple rad isn't necessary by any means, even a new one isn't. I was just thinking that there are some slimmer designs available that might let you fit it in the top of the case without interfering much with your board. I think UncleDavid may have done something similar but I don't recall for sure. What are your ultimate goals for the system? Performance? Silence? In any case, what I'd probably do is put it on the top of the case as far forward as you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, what I'd probably do is put it on the top of the case as far forward as you can. Well for one thing, i really don't mind buying the new rad because the old rad is quite alot thicker then the new thermaltake design. I really don't want the rad to interfere with the motherboard.. But I rather have a balance for between the two. :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radodrill Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Might want to add Petra's Tech Shop to that list as well as I might just talk you into a whole new H2O kit :nod: as I'm not fond of ThermalTake gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
