Wow...
the V1000 air flow system seem like quite special
after i read up this casing at LianLi website
but i still can't understand the cashflow  sysyem is how =.=
*
acutally from the graph.. the rear intake will take cool air in and after passed through the CPU area and rise to the graphic card area and exhaust through the side patent fan.

while the bottom part will be intake for HDD till reach PSU for exhaust ...

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. smile.gif

Yea, i agree on this. I could take the PC-7 casing easily with just one hand.But on the other hand, i am suffering when trying to take my older C5 with one hand..lol..

Anyway, wondering would aluminum casing help in terms of providing better airflow/cooler air?Cause i have seen plenty of enclosure which uses aluminum as their material..

if it does not why would so many enthusiast insist on using aluminum case ....

however the effect isn't that much different but weight itself is a plus point to own an aluminum case ...

The main problem is the look is too out standing and the price as well..

besides it's not well design internally //

doom,

if lightweight is the only reason to go for alu. doesn't that a bit overkill to have an expensive casing? for most of us, moving the casing is to clean the dirt and dust accumulated on a monthly or weekly basis...
if alu can play a major role in lowering the temp of the internals. if it does.. it's only about 1-3 C only right?

yah ..it's only about 3c of difference ... besides cooling the internal structure of the Alu case is always better than steel case ..

doom,

so theoritically not much of a difference between the two besides the minor temp, and the weight. bling-bling factor is up to individual..

i guess i'll consider again of getting a new casing... tongue.gif

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. thumbup.gif

That's why i choose Alu case. wub.gif

Aluminum cases being cooler than steel cases are a myth. That being said, it does feel alot nicer and you feel like you're getting the sort of quality you paid for.

But, steel cases have some advantages too:
1) Cheaper
2) Sturdier. Say what you want, but a steel chassis is less likely to vibrate/resonate/hum than an aluminum one. I hate the way my Lian Li panels can rattle, I had to remedy it with dampening material and velour strips.
