| 514779 | 2007-01-11 10:59:00 | I use one of these:- www.thermaltake.com I am quite happy with it. Can go water cooled if I wanted to. Have not had to as I don't overclock. Temps are well down on my previous rig. Must admit there is nothing wrong with the Lian-li. A well regarded case and I have seen a few. I would suggest you think about the power supply unit as well. I bought the case I have and traded the PSU for a 550W Enermax. |

| 514780 | 2007-01-11 16:32:00 | I have a Lian Li case. Can't remember the model. Two silent fans,one sucks and one blows.No trouble ever. Great provision for "out of the way" cables. And everything fits. Side panel held on by two thumb screws. No struggling to line up screw holes. Mine came with a 520 w power supply. Brand unspecified. Never felt the need to have a look. At $300 + , a bargain. And for the fashion conscious you can get them in black or silver. Mine's black. Just had a listen to it. The only "noisey" bit is the 7950 graphics card.Just a contented purr from the psu. |

| 514781 | 2007-01-11 20:57:00 | (snip) BTW where can I find case reviews? (snip I have done a web search but cannot find the review that I relied upon. It was one of those reviews where a number of cases were compared, and the Lian Li came out on top on all the issues I was concerned about. There were lots of photos of building a PC in each of the cases, and that showed the quality of design and workmanship. I thought it was Tom's Hardware, but I can't find the review there. I have a vague memory that it may have been the PC-V1000 case in the review, so a search for that may bring results. However I did do a Google search using 'Lian Li PC-V1100 review' and that brought up a number of possibilities that you may want to check out. I just remembered that when it was first built up, the firewire port on the front didn't work because there was no port on my mobo that could be cabled to the front port. When I later upgraded the mobo I got one that was completely compatible with the case. |

| 514782 | 2007-01-11 21:02:00 | Here is the review: www.tomshardware.com It was Toms Hardware, and it was the V1000, not the V1100 that I bought. I misremembered though - the review is a comparison of a lot of cases, but they don't build up PCs. Still well worth reading though. 73 pages ... :D |

| 514783 | 2007-01-12 00:18:00 | I got a Coolermaster... curvy steel and perspex front and little blue lights (heavy sigh). I know absolutely nothing about sex... but makes the hair on my arms tingle looking at it- I assume that's a good thing. :stare: Apparently the best thing about them is they are steel... so you can tighten your nuts without worrying about stuffing them up and things slide in and out nicely without too much effort (plenty of room inside too!) :thumbs:What does esx have to be with PC cases? :cool: I don't see the point. This topic is getting boring. |
