Well, I'm both a geek and an owner of several computers. I asked the question because I have some computers in my garage that I don't know what to do with. What do you use more then one computer at a time for?
I've got a LiLi PC-7 Scand and I've been looking for modding ideas for a long time, but hasn't found any that I want to use. Mainly its the harddrives I want to relocate to make them more quiet and let the graphics card and motherboard have more cold air. Subscribed.
I've got the PC-101b and I don't like it. The board that goes through the whole case in the middle makes both the upper and the lower section too small for good airflow and I got crappy temps. The PC-X01 does the have the same measures as PC-x100 which I thought it would have.
Maybe someone has asked already, but how are you going connect monitor and such things when you have fans in the way? And are you going to use some badass pump to do the pumping?
When I used my LiLi PC101b, I installed a http://lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=183&cl_index=2&sc_index=6&ss_index=38 for intake air. It helped out a lot. IIRC the PC1010 has holes in the 5,25" bezels, so you can theoreticly mount a 120mm fan behind the 5,25" bezels for intake air.
I can't sleep if there's a noise and I've got a Antec 1200 with 5xNexus 120mm and when I run them on 5v, they can't be heard from a meter away. Nexus is cheap and great.
waseem: I like the dual fans on the graphics card. Where does that fan come from? And have you considered to manage your cables a litte better? I think that would help out with temps a little.
NukeULater: Really good looking. I wish I had an Lian-Li 2X10 case.
ar09: I used my HX520W to power up my main computer (specs in my sig) and 8 hard drives in it. No problem at all.
Full tower isn't about accepting E-ATX, if I've got it right. It's about the size inside the case. And the PC1010 just doesn't qualify as a full tower, atleast not in my eyes. There is also more space for HDDs in the Antec 1200 (if you use backplanes), and I bet that the Antec 1200 is a lot...
I own an Antec 1200 and it's great, but I would absolutely trade it for a Lian-Li PC2x10 with a window. Probably just because I'm not watercooling. If I did, I'd have better use for the 5,25" spots.
jason_str: Lian-Li PC1010 isn't a full tower.
There are lots and lots of pictures in other threads. Try the search function or look in the Cooler Master show off thread. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=833100 <- The Coolermaster Gallery. I think you will have to jump to the later pages to see HAFs.
Well, when I got my first Lian Li case a few years ago, my friends smeard butter all over the case so it was really greasy, I just took some washing liquid on a piece of cloth and wipe it clean. Worked great.
Well, I wrote this guide because I couldn't find a good one on google. I don't know in what subforum I should post this in, so please move it if it doesn't fit in here.
