A05 is nice IMO, but compared to PC007, i will take the latter any time. It's more moddable and air flow is better IMHO.

A05 to me is nice... i could sacrifice a few degrees for that small petite looking case anytime.

I'll be looking at A05 for my next case if my budget allows....other lian li cases are just too expensive to me...

I'm still in dilemma when I could get A05 again and have access to tool to mod it .. I've developed the idea to mod it .. but no time and tool to do it ..

when would my modding life return ... arr!!

Well, to be honest, it might not be the BEST casing around but its still undeniable that its kinda good. Without modding, yes, the airflow is ridiculous but for something this small that can fit ATX mobo, its considered to be a good case already. There are many that did even worse job even with MATX mobo. Thats my oppinion though..

Well, you cant compare the A05 with the PC007. The 007 is way bigger than the 05 in the first place, so basically, the will have better space for cable management, modable, better aiflow etc.

LOL..Get the tools again or ask someone to fly it there to UK for you

Both casings fall in the same price range. Therefore, i think comparison between the 2 is appropriate.

HELL NO!

kinda good=VERY deniable

ridiculous is undeniable...id rather take a V600 anyday.

but of course...thats ur opinion and this is mine

and truthfully, if i wanted a small case (mobo size not taken into account) between the A05, V600 and Microfly...id take the microfly which is exactly what i did...

cheap and the features on it cant be beat... build quality? i aint gonna touch it often so build quality doesnt matter to me.

Airflow wise i would think that A05 is better than V600, as the PSU mounting in V600 is really weird. It needs some modding before its airflow can be more efficient.
However, there's no doubt that v600 looks better and has better built quality.
My 2 cents.

wonder how much it will cost to change the psu location in the v600

I do actually get good temps with my A05 original air flow configuration.

Well, i cant comment too much cause i never used that case before. But from some people's oppinion, it "seems" they are good enough. I mean, for something this small LOL...

The problem for some people regarding the V600 is because it only supports mATX mobo. But thinking about it, it seems rather pointless to couple a ATX mobo into something this small as well. So basically, the A05 is a good choice for people who still does not want to sacrifice ATX. I do agree with you here that Microfly does seems good for something this small.

That being said, i still love the SG03 more than all of these

V600 supports ATX also. Check here.

A05 is for those who wanna small casing, but still can fit those gigantic cooler.
V600 can fit ATX mobo, but cant fit those tower cooler due to placement of the PSU. have to mod it...

but me personally love both A05 and V600. V600 got better design, but the PSU placement is a turn down....

V600 supports ATX

SG03 consider the hdd temp first b4 buying SG03

my hdd shoots up to 56c in SG03

the case really needs modular psu + air-cond room

I don't know why one would be so furious about A05 .. hahaa

It's just a case after all, some have good experience with it some maybe otherwise ..

From my history with this case, it's good enough for stock configuration of setup that doesn't OC ...

It is really weak in handling graphic card with high heat emission .. therefore PCI Slot has to be removed to facilitate heat issue ..

Else modding the top or side panel would be another option ..

I think it has it's own limitation opening for debate, but that's the same for many cases out there as well ...

So just 'take or leave' this product of Lian Li

speaking of A05, u have to ask uncle sniperontheroof........that olang tua falls in love with it hehe......

but for me it is rather good too, fits lots of thing tightly inside but cable management not that easy though hehe.....

Sorry, my mistake. Always thought the V600 only supports mATX mobo. I stand corrected

Well, personally, its a pick between the A05 and SG03 to me. I used to hate small casing. And i literally mean hate. I do not like mATX mobo in the first place (not sure why) and i do not want a small case. However, when i saw the SG03, i can personally say i love that case. For something this small, its packs loads of features. Then of course, i stumble upon the modded A05 of Doom. Now, that brought back the feeling of good things sometimes do come in small packages. Of course, there is no comparison between these and those huge tower case.

They of course, offers better airflow, bigger space etc but for someone who wanted a small case, they are indeed good looking (besides some case from Microfly) and does seem good. No offense there.

You point is good there. Its either you really love the casing that much or you hate it that much as well...

For me, for something this small and to even have good comments all around, i do feel its quite a good casing. Besides, its me though that i feel the A05 is better looking than the V600. Slight mod to the A05 and you have one good case in a small package.

@akachester

This is the whole point that I've been trying to point out.

A05 is brilliant when mod is done to it ...

just like highly overclockable ram matched with good ram cooler .... it just fly all the way.

If given a choice between sugo 03 and A05, i'll take A05 anytime, as it is cheaper and has better airflow IMHO. Sugo 03 too suffers from weird PSU placement, just like V600 does. Otherwise, it's a perfect case.

I also loved Sugo 03, the only thing is the limited CPU cooler height ..

If not it would be so nice to use that as a moving rig for people that traveled a lot ..

However since I've not used it before, I really curios about the HDD cooling performance ...and silent as well

wait till ur try the case

no matter how much ur love for that SG03

the hdd temp will pull u right off it

yup, weird psu placement

that's the recipe for creating a small case

who wanna place IFX-14 in a SFF case

sudah lari konsep bulding a Small Form Factor case

the case is really silent, well depends on ur case fan also la, no point placing vantec tornado in it

three 120mm fans (psu + 2 intake), the intake fans didn't have anything blocking the intake air (eg. hdds) thats where the secret recipe of silent comes in

the case turn me off when it comes to the hdd temp

bout the cpu cooler, me think this case needs a wc to maintain the silentness

OT: waiting for uncle ianho here to mod SG03, wanna see how he overcomes the hdd temp issue

lets stop the disscussion bout SG03 here, if not Lilian owner will scold us
