That come as original theme from ATI and Lian Li ...


btw, found this nice red theme mod on A05 as well ...

I do prefer brushed texture of the original surface .. .but this gives a different concept like Ferrari car .. gloss viper red

Normally a full paint job takes about a whole month to dry and remedy to perfect condition. I think it's worth to have the smooth finishing compared to those paint job that could easily spot uneven surface.

That's not my mod dude ..

it's someone else work on Hardforum ...

I post it here coz it's been really quiet in this thread ...

Only discussion but no one actually post any of their case here ...

heheh .. .welcome as happy lian li user ....

btw why u put the fan grill on the floor of the case .. ???

btw.. I like the way u mod the temperature display and cable management ..

clean and pro ...

@mizivincible
It's like the way I present my OEM PC-7 last time ... haha ..

@cschun86
Change your CPU cooler direction facing bottom with a fan attach to it ..

reverse ur rear case fan to exhaust ..

then take out some PCI slot cover to provide air across graphic card ..

if that's the case, get a good carrying bag to protect it .....

wrapped it gao gao with other materials as well !!!

@pmmonkey

mod the side panel with single 12cm fan or top panel for one or two 12cm fan would be nice addition to the thermal performance.

@LExus65
Your idea lead me to Windy case (Soldam)

I wonder how well is the finishing for such expensive aluminum case ...

Aio ... abang Ian ... the photo so small and faraway from the case mah ..

how to recognize your master piece

There's so many people imitates your work .. like the incident in THE XXX FORUM before ...

btw, why no credit given by mizivincible ?? or I missed it ..

nvm .. as long as it's great work ...

It's not the problem with BTX style .. it's the problem of design of the case ..

Since V-series was designed 4 years back if I'm not mistaken despite it's still one of the all time hall fame of LL product ..

It's still suffer of its old design as following:

Factor: Poor HDDs Cooling
Reason: Last time HDDs not many user actually owned 3 or more HDDs

Factor: Internal Cooling
Reason: Restrictive intake mechanism since in the old days other component doesn't required so much of cooling aids as much as now days with gc, nb and sb producing enough heats ..

Factor: Limited Space
Reason: Tower cooler wasn't popular at that point of time

once again bring up A05 as point of discussion

anyone that uses it before knows that this case despite of its small size, it still could fits in tower cooler easily without cramping the case ..

in fact, it's BTX style also ...

Don't jump to conclusion based on one or two opinion ..

Because the setup itself that really determine which is the best method of configuration of fans ...

I've never experience overheat issue with A05 on stock fan configuration after I mod the side panel .. however even before modding the side panel it's not too bad entirely .. only the gc is at the hot side ... 2900XT mah ...

yah .. there would be revised version v-series ...

hoo . I can't wait to see whether it inherits the good old generation with more new features and eliminate compatibility issue with tower size cooler ..

I can't wait to see some reviews of the all the new line up of LL cases ...

Those revised version seems to be more classy then before.. But don't really like all the holes removed from V-Series ..

It's not available at ATE, too bad

I know PerformancePC got it sells as separate accessories ...

that's the reason that this case can't be the best small ATX case ......

Finally some goodies hit the shore .... hmm I suspect the new m-atx case should be V350 ....

of course .... loh ..

no case is perfect in this world ..

it's some how is tight and has very little room to work on it ...

besides that, cooling performance doesn't seems to be promising ..

hehe, like what I've expected the price of B25 is up to Rm700 ..

last time few said it would be about RM5++ only .. that's what I call Mission Impossible. ....

It' still a nice case and probably swapping the side panel would be a better option ...

Better just aim for new Lian Li series
