Overall it's brilliant with combining all the latest features available on LL case ..

however two things could be complaint...

One of it the famous L-shape cover that help in stealths the cables extended from PSU is not present.

second is the length of the case, it's standard but with high end card that extend an inch longer .. plugging power cable would be problem ..

I think it's time the LL think of manufacturing cases beyond standard by increasing it's length or deep an inch or two more .. .to accommodate length of graphic card ..

another potential changes could be made by removing the 3.5' bay so that there's room for water cooling after the HDD cage beign removed .. then only this case would really rocks the days ...

Overall really nice case ...

@suicideroach
That's one of the reason I love A05 the most .. it could house in tower cooler without any issue at all .. there's plenty of room before touching the bottom surface of the case ...

@ahsiah
U could conclude that most tower cooler that accommodate 12cm fan would face problem mounting it vertically, either too tight or almost impossible to get it installed properly ...

@E-J@1
finally someone agree on my discovery as well ...

I rather the case being designed to fit the cooler than the other way around ..

what's the point of spending so much of money yet can't get a nice decent case with sufficient space to work around ...

reverse airflow is not a con for that case .. the only cons it has is limited exhaust at the graphic card zone which lian li forgotten to make the side panel with side intake like v series and couple it with side patent fan..

this result relative hot graphic card zone .. so many A05 users would mod the top panel for intake or exhaust using single to dual 12cm fan ..

so if u are interested with this case and want to run it with 3870 ... better give a thought of modding the top or side panel to install fan ....

This is what I did last time .. to show how different fans could be mounted on TR HR-03..



it's ugly for sure .. but with a bit of trick it could looks cleaner ...

I think it would be extremely tight to install the cooler in V series ...

it's possible by using twist wires to install the fan ...

What i mean is it could be installed with twist wire and the cooler might lay on top of the divider or maybe just a mm or two from the divider ...

it's so tight that the original fan clip couldn't be applied ...

Stupid mah .. .follow the japanse preference ... mah

That's what they said in the video clip of Lian Li factory visit...

what the heck .... seriously I'm totally disappointed with all the new releases .

solve one issue while creates many others ...

why fix something that ain't broken ....

@E-J@1
My next case, there won't be any doubt other than A05.. and I'd mod it for sure .. ... I've gathered all the materials required ..

the only thing left is tool and work place .. and how to dispose my A16 ... arrr !!

@hypermax
I agree with you but I still don't like ATX style of V1010 ..

it creates more problem like length of 4 pins ATX connector ..

Lack of side patent fan to facilitate airflows ..

Not sure about the second HDD is really functional in dissipation of heats.

@LExus65
Better mod the case than hoping the case comes in perfect design ...

@hypermax
hahah that probably could be done if u pay for the shipping .. muhahahaa

@sniper on the roof
What's so special abotu SG02-F ??? is it different from SUGO-02 ?

I'm still feel that A05 airflow is difficult to manage ...

but I love it ...

@sniper on the roof
hehe .. nice result dude ...

I wonder the S1 really works like charm because you got the Aero slot installed on ur case?

@E-J@1
hmmm .... PM me for details if u want .. hahahah

@sniper on the roof

How you configure your fan setup ??

Apart from GPU temperature that seems to be unusual the rest of the temperature fluaction seems to be fine enough ..

there's no way that the load to idle temperature of GPU is only 3 degree on air cooling ...

how u manage the airflow .. .

@sniper on the roof
Thanks foe the info..

really good performance... not much oh heat issue apart from ur OC proc..

@Blessedvillan

Nice mod.... btw where's the window side panel

Cut a frame to hold the filter and then apply strong double tape loh ...

or probably drill holes for bolt and nut to hold the frame ..

aio yo yo ... kick him out of the thread loh ...

hahah ... nice one .. why don't get Alienware etching on the side panel ..

Yah TJ-09 then mod to BTX style .. hoho ho ..

perfect arrangement and layout ..
