Does the A05-FNA vent cover reveal a screen or do you need a add-on part for this opening. I didn't purchase this case during Newegg Lian Li's sale due to this.
nice.. felt like changing to A05FN.. looks so nice.. may i know hows ur gc temp. with and without the fan beside?
i installed one upper fan like this,just to increase the flow at the case,i found these aluminum covers from my previous pc80 lian li,so i believe is good idea to use this section for fan..
This is the only blowhole cover that is included:
If you want to install a fan you have to buy a fan grill or leave it open.
Indeed or the fan from the BS-06 proved to help a lot with videocard temps when mounted in the bottom of a Fractal Design R3 the poor little Zalman VF3000F finally got some fresh air to move around and can now run a GTX470 at reasonably temps with the lowest fan speed.... So yeah still the most expensive fan I have ever bought but at least it came to good use.Good to see this thread still going. I removed my BS-06 too and the temps haven't really changed at all. Guess it was just a waste of money.
You should add some extra beast air-cooling by getting the VRM cooler Thermalright makes for the GTX 400 series.

What!? well I have to agree now that you point it out, the heat sink to the right of the spitfire heat pipes does not scream overkill like the rest of the cooler and what better way to cover that ugly support than with more metal!
Wonder if it will fit my Gigabyte 470 SOC since it's not the reference PCB layout... Oh well guess I'll end up buying it just to see if it fits or not.
Hmm, if it isn't reference I'm afraid it won't fit. As far as I know they're only designed for the reference card. However, if you do go ahead and buy it anyway, I recommend against using the thermal strip that comes with it and just use a tiny dab of paste on each VRM for even better temperatures.
Actually the GTX470 modell was never released anyway so I have to go with the GTX 480 version "G2"... But looking at pictures of the PCB design I actually feel comfortable it might fit on my card because unlike reference 470 cards all my VRMs are placed in a straight line just like its bigger brother! When it come to Thermal Pads VS Thermal Paste I believe that the only time it's okay to use thermal pads is when there is no other possible way of securing the heat sink! Not that I think the temps of my VRM is that critical, on the stock-cooler(Windforce Rev 2.0) they didn't have a heat-sink at all anyway so it will mostly be an aesthetic fix
Update: Just got my HDD enclosures, this little box is stating to get heavy oh and I also got some brushed aluminum case feet!
I'd say it's the best commonly available small full-ATX case.
Even though everybody weighs different things differently in their determination of what's best, I'd agree that in most contests which give any tangible way to compactness this case should be a top contender.
