Lots of options, a few quirks
- Pros: This is a large case with room for future hardware upgrades, including watercooling and more data storage. I experimented with the exhaust and ended up going back to Lian-Li's original configuration. Intake fan in front for drives. Intake fan in back blows over a Thermalright Ultra 120 mounted on an A8R32MVP via a S-clip adapter with a Yate Loon pulling toward the front. Due to the heat sink's front/back orientation the CPU air duct proved too narrow and I had to remove it but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I have the side fan exhausting heat from a pair of 1900XTs with aftermarket Zalman VF900s. I also added a second front intake fan, a Lian-Li Expansion HDD Kit Ex 34A RT just to get a bit of postive case pressure and introduce some cooler air. Temps are great with a gentle overclock, and fans are quiet and pretty efficient.
- Cons: No wheels and the weight of the case makes it hard to pull out and lift. I will either get the wheels Lian Li sells or maybe mod some beefy casters onto the bottom to roll this beast around. No removable motherboard tray. I have to remove the motherboard to work on the massive CPU and that gets old. Unit came with dual PSU plate unlike the dual 80mm fan grills pictured. I found the plate with the 80mm stamped grills and switched it for the dual psu plate for better cooling.
- Other Thoughts: I added Lian Li stealth bezels for the optical drives and the floppy for a very finished look. No problems with cable management. Great build quality. With the door closed I barely see a change in temps and it definitly cuts the noise. Can't wait to get a quieter PSU (this one has a delta fan that roars) and really silence this baby!
Well worth the money
- Pros: Very,very big. New Hd brackets are a huge bonus, making installing new HD a breeze. Lite for it's size. Four 120mm fans included. Plenty of room for everything. Quiet fans. Dual psu ready. Useful 120mm fan by the video card.
- Cons: What is up with the front panel? I swear it weights almost as much as the case, it's freaking heavy compare to the rest of the case. Still no tooless 5.25 bay. Very big, taking alot of desktop room. Wish it was cheaper, lol. Fans are quiet, at the expense of airflow. No intake fan above the lower front intake fan. PC Power 1k psu will not fit unless you remove the 2nd HD/fan bracket.
- Other Thoughts: The case did not look like the one in the picture. The 80mm fan slot at the bottom was replaced with a slot for another psu. Keeps my cpu cool even though there's no intake fan cept for the one below by the HD. I pretty much reverse the airflow on the fan by the video card, from outward, to inward airflow. The case will get heavy if you have alot of things to put in.
12 x 3.5" Is Awesome
- Pros: More room for drives than you can shake a stick at, two PSU mounts and adapter for switching included, very spacious inside, all fans included, front LED's integrated into power and reset switches, excellent build quality, very nice front door, and front panel ports are on the top.
- Cons: A little on the heavy side (but it comes with the territory), slightly sharp edges on side doors, fans could be a little faster to move more air, and it would be nice to have an option to mount more fans on the back like in the product image as an alternative to a second PSU (but dual PSU is pretty cool too).
- Other Thoughts: Quite frankly, it's the biggest computer I've ever seen. It makes previous cases I've used like the Yeon Yang YY-0221 and 6U cases look small in comparison. If you're looking for lots of room and the best build quality around, look no further because you've met your match.
