Make it simple.
If a casing can fit ATX, it can fit various types of board from Mini ATX, Micro ATX to Full Size ATX but not extended ATX.

Full size ATX board has 7 slots that consists of mixed PCI-E, PCI, or AGP slot, it depend on your motherboard itself.

Normally all Lian Li casings can fit any types of heatsink fan.
Except for those casings that are made for HTPC setups.

**Extended ATX boards are a very rare occasion.

The easiest way to find out is to give us the model of your motherboard.

You don't want that 25CM fan?
Easy.

Take out the sidepanle that comes with the 25CM fan, buy a new arcylic in any advertisement makers shops, cut the new arcylic to the same size of the original arcylic that comes with the LL casing, then put the new arcylic on the sidepanel back, then wallah!

You're in PJ dude, just send your sidepanel to ianho and get yourself a new sidewindow that doesn't have that fugly fan.

Plus, u can also ask him to make you a sidewindow with a smaller fan either 80mm, 92mm or 120mm.

Yes!
You know that the PC-G7 has the sidepanel fan right?
I made the sidepanel fan as intake [originally, it's exhaust] to cool my 8800, and to my surprise, my 8800 were 5 degrees cooler compared to if the sidepanel fan were not there.

So, it's up to you either you want to put fan there or not, but if i were you, i'd put a blowhole on the sidepanel to blow directly to my GFX.

Take the monorail in imbi to KL sentral, then, from kl sentral, use komuter to komuter subang, and wallah!

You got yourself a PC-007 and u have arrive subang safely.

Nothing, i just post about that casing here, afterall, this is a casing recommandation thread right?

All LL casing is exciting, it doesn't have the "fancy schmancy" design.
All LL casing design is smart and cool, it have the executive look.

The most important thing about using Aluminium casing would be:
Lightweight

Take a sample of two casings that is on the same size, and the material is on the same thickness.
One of them is using SECC material, and one of them is aluminium.

Then compare the weight by yourself.
There you'll see that aluminium cases are either half the weight of the SECC casing and the max would be 70% of the weight of an SECC chasis.

Just my opinion though.

Do remember that 1-3 degrees in temperature drop is not something that you should take lightly.

1-3 degrees of temperature drop is very high for me.

That's why i choose Alu case.

Think, with 1-3 degrees less in temps, don't you think you can overclock your hardwares higher?

Yes you do.

That's why a temp differences of 1-3 degrees is something you should not take lightly.

New casing from Zalman.
Make no mistake that this is not the same model with Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 Casing.

This is a different model, not sure about either the design is the same or not.
Take a peek.

Not actually right.
The Fatal1ty case is still up & selling.

It's just that this new model doesn't have that buggers name anymore.

If you look carefully, you'll see the differences between this casing and the Fatal1ty casing.

That's true, the one that comes with Red LED's look better.

Give some good reason why you don't want Lian Li V2K Series.
You want to know why no one is suggesting Thermaltake Shark?
Because it's a casing for childrens, for kids.

Elite users only choose three, Lian-Li, Silverstone and last but not least, Soldam.

Ahh, you can buy expensive hardwares, why can't afford a Lian Li V2K?

What makes you say aluminium casings are heavier than arcylic casings?

IMO, aluminium casinsg is lighter than arcyclic casings.
And seriously, any reason why you want arcylic casings?

You said in the first post you always move your PC around, seriously, you don't want an arcylic casings, just a little bump, and there'll be a crack on the casing.

If i were you, i'll stick with some good ol' aluminium casing, yes it's not sturdy as SECC, but it's more sturdy than an arcylic casing. The weight is a plus point too, as aluminium casing is lighter than SECC.

Yes.
SECC is steel.

But your sentences about aluminium stronger than metal is wrong.
Aluminium is softer than metal. Thus, aluminium can bent easily compared to stell casing.
