I'm not saying that your not or what... root for the stuff you like and e-rocker will choose.. Like I say, I like lian Li's cases, I think my old one was, I don't know because I bought it 5 years ago and wasn't till the start of last year did I want to do anything computer... But the price are....:eek: but thats me. If e-rocker wants Lian Li case, then go for it man! Mod the breaks out of it! I just wouldn't, imo, go with something that much...

I just went to a local computer store to check some cases out. I think I'm going with Lian Li for sure. After looking at a bunch of Thermaltakes (looks cool but cheap) and CM's (stacker too cramped, Cosmos not black), I'll probablly go with the V1000 due to a bunch of aftermarket parts available (side panels with windows, top panel with radiator cutouts). I'll probablly have to remove a HDD cage for my PSU, but oh well, I plan on having this case untill something replaces ATX.:D Thanks for your help everyone, but If you can find a case similar to the V1000 let me know! I won't be buying this until I get my new hardware.
 
Glad to see you may of thought of what you want! If I find a way to make the cosmos Black I'll let you know!!! and the v1000 is a good looking case
 
Ok, changed my mind... I'm going to want the extra HDD bays, and the only reason I wanted the v1000 was for the window:o.. So, It's between the Lian Li V1200 or the Ultra m998. I, figure soon, there will be a side panel with a window available for the V1200 or I can make my own, and the m998 has a removable mobo tray, that "power bar" that I get to mess around with, and it comes with a nice looking side window. I will make a poll between the two.
 
All right voted for ya man. I went with the V1200.. I like the fact that the ultra has the ability to take it all apart and work on it... But, I just don't feel you'll like it after looking about the Lian Li....IMO

Sorry for the double post... I was running my GPU at 40% speed and not hearing a dang thing.. But last night I volt modded the card, and I am running it now at 80% and I do hear sound. So its not quite if you are benching, but if just running normal its fine...
 
LianLi FTW
 
Duffman, I have to say I really, really like your case, but it's $100 bucks more than I want to spend... I just saw that Lian Li realeased a new gaming case, though I have only been able to find info on it on thier website and asian sites. It kinda looks like Lian Li's take on the 900, anyone know where to find it?
 
Tatty, that looks sweet! Wouldn't be something I'd want to see every day, but sweet none the less! IMO

Well TBH......at my age, the eyesight is going anyways so I will probably just see the pretty blue lights, I am really just gettting it because it is BIG.....has excellent airflow and is cheap!

On top of that I have a Xeon Quad x3220 2.4gig coming, plus a new cooler and another 2Gigs of Ballistix 8500 to add to my exisiting 2 :toast:

Then, I'd go with the case! didn't know you were doing a Xeon Quad. You will need all the cooling you can get! :toast:
 
Ok, after a chat with Tk, (he truly is a case genius) I'm going with the Lian Li.. the V1000Bplus.. once again.:o This way I'll have the clear window, and I will utilize the side/upper fan. Plus I found a nice Lian Li HDD cage with fan to put in the top three 5 1/4 inch bays! I can't wait to get it!

I think it's an excellent choice. For some reason, i don't remember looking at that case when i bought mine a month ago...I was looking at LianLi cases too...
 
I'm pretty sure I'm going to Put 2 120mm fans on the inside top of it too.
 
how do you mean, "inside top"?

another neat thing i just realized about this case is that the MB is flipped opposite so power cables won't have as far to route.
 
Like in your case.
 
oh, are there vents on the top for that? It doesn't look like it?
 
that's pretty cool. I'm actually thinking about putting one on the side of my case
 
I really like the way the HDD bays are set up in your case. Air in one side and out the other!
 
I vote on the V-2000. You can fit 2 320mm rads in that thing if you wanted to. lol.

I think it's my next case. :D
 
V1000B is a beautiful case man, it just looks like it will turn out to be a cable management monster and the "upside-down" design I have heard gives tons better airflow.

That's a plus that you can get the HDD cage pretty much included in the cost.

What are your plans for the 900?
