LOL! I may re-mortgage my Lian-Li appartment block in the summer and fit a rad. That's why I got this case, bags of room for expansion.

It is surely a great case. You will definitely have about the best foundation in the business for any modding you decide to do. I would sit back and take my time and carefully consider any mods on such a beautiful case.

Trouble is now that I have this case, I'm in two minds about having rads, etc. above the mainboard. It just seems to make more sense to have anything water related either below or outside the case.

I'm with you in that I just could not mount the rad on top right over the mobo although the pump will be in the case and the hose from water block back to my res will go right over the top of my psu.
Spooky stuff!!

Hey danrok, have a look at these pics of an Asetek WateChill setup in a Lian Li case.
Imagine what your Lian Li tower block could house!

I am going to use the summer as a good excuse to fit water cooling. I will probably go full monty with a triple rad with 6x 120mm fans in push/pull mode. The case has a spare slot for a second PSU as standard, so I can build a full on system completely self-contained.

Just bringing this thread back to life....
Danrok, mind if I ask where you got this case and how much it set you back?

Got mine from here:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal..._Li_Cases.html

The new V1000 and V2000 Lian-Li cases are available now. Well worth a look. The best prices I've seen on those so far is here: http://www.cpucitystore.co.uk/catalog/

I think they just got their stock today!

Ahh, thought so, thanks for the links anyway. The new cases look very impressive, but the cost is prohibitive!
I noticed a few weeks agot that my local Maplins had the PC-60 for £39.99, so I might get that if its still on offer. There are/were quite a few recently with Buy Now prices of £50-60 so I guess some peeps bought them cheap and auctioned them off for a profit.

£39.99 for a PC-60 case sounds like a real bargain!
