The height increase would be somewhat offset by removing the need to have feet underneath the case, because of the different intake placement. Total height should only increase 40mm or so. The intake change would work better for those who place it on the floor (less dust and carpet hair picked...

How about mounting the SSD with a bracket under the motherboard instead? If clearance is an issue, shorten the mobo standoffs and reposition the mobo tray by the same distance (increasing clearance underneath).

Is the motherboard tray removeable without modding?

Interesting design. Personally I would like to see the HDD bays above and below the motherboard removed and reduce the height of the case.

I'm interested to see some reviews of this thing. Yes it's large for mATX (36L). For a case with good watercooling options it's still a decent size (Corsair 350 is 42L). It looks like if you remove the drive cages you might get another rad in the bottom behind the front fans.

Any pics for the V351N? I'm guessing from the specs they just changed the HDD cage and upgraded the I\O to USB 3.0. Any other changes?

It depends on the motherboard you use. Note that if your CPU socket is close to the right side (looking from the front of the V351) the heatsink may overhang the motherboard (and interfere with the slideout mobo tray). I have the V351 case, when I had my older LGA775 board with a Zalman 7700...

Very nice build G-Skull. What is the device mounted behind the 180mm fan? Seems like its blocking a lot of case airflow. Isn't there room to mount it horizontal? With the fittings on the back of the PSU, it would probably look neater if they were hooked up the other way around and the hoses cut...

There are 4x mounting brackets and dust filters in the front. The case doesn't ship with any fans what-so-ever. I love my V-351, but it seems with each revision Lian-Li takes as many steps backwards as they do forward. I love the extra fan mounting options, better PSU placement, slide out PSU...

H70 fits a 120mm fan mount not 80mm. Would require quite a bit of modding to make it fit (you would need to cut out part of the shelf)

Bamaland I suggest you do some research on how positive air pressure works. The things you have stated about airflow are completely wrong.

Not true. LGA 2011 has the same hole spacing as LGA 1366. However the socket now includes a built in back plate that heatsinks will attach to.

The brackets are made by XSPC. Many online stores that sell watercooling carry XSPC gear. I got mine from here (note: this is an Australian online store): http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_267&products_id=3137 I have mine intake though the front and...

It will fit. The H100 is 275mm long. I have a 279mm EK radiator in the front of my V351 (very tight fit, 1mm clearance between each side panel). See here for some pics in my worklog: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=947398

I don't have any insider knowledge of the Silverstone stuff, I am just reading the same sources as you guys. At a guess I would say they started with a 4-way SLI setup and then thought "how can we make this more extreme?". AFAIK 4-way is the max cards supported by mainstream drivers\chipsets...

There are 7 PCI-E slots. Each slot has an extender ribbon cable coming from it. Bandwidth is not the issue. There are simply no more physical connections, so using the ASUS board mentioned, nothing will take it above 7 graphics cards. Using a different motherboard is another matter, but...

Many ITX cases have the mobo on the bottom (eg most of Silverstone SUGO series) so heatpipe orientation is not an issue in all cases.

The motherboard used was from the ASUS supercomputer series which has 7x PCI-E x16 (v2.0) so the max would be 7x cards.

Looks like it should fit on most ITX boards with graphics card near CPU. Just turn the HSF so the side with the heatpipes is facing the graphics card. In the photo from the 1st post look at the diagram behind the HSF to see the proportions.

SG08 was just shown at Computex 201, it is the same case as SG07 but with a nice aluminum face plate. You could try contacting Silverstone to see if they will sell the face plate seperately.

Its 6 way SLI. It uses custom ribbon cables to link the graphics cards to the mobo (there is no mobo underneath the cards). There is a video of it on Youtube with Tony from Silverstone talking about it. At this point its a concept case and they don't even know yet if they will produce it.

Hmm I wonder if dual rads at the front would be possible if the drive cages are removed? Mount pump\res combo on shelf next to PSU + 80mm fan mount. You can use if for any of those things. Personally I use my V351 as a compact gaming PC.

Not really. The internal layout is completely different. And Lian-Li had that type of mesh on the front of the V300 years ago. PS deeplinking to my webspace is bad mmmkay :p

In the first pic I posted you can see the upper fan mounts from the front, on the black one you can even see the dust filters. Looks like there is a 80mm mount in the upper rear next to the PSU. The inside is actually more like the V352 except they moved the HDD bays. The move to single 5.25"...

Lian-Li v353 at Computex 2011 Just saw this case in some of the pics from Computex Looks like they took the V351 design and increase the height a bit to put 4x 120mm fans at the front (although the specs say no fans included, which seems odd) Only has 1x optical bay now instead of 2 (not...

I imagine that low profile Noctua will fall in to the same price range as the NH-U9B SE2 which typically sells for around $60 USD. The Corsair H50\H60 series usually go for around $75 so the price gap is quite large. Besides the Hyrdo water coolers won't fit in many smaller mITX cases which...

SG07 PSU length is 140mm. Standard ATX PSU depth is 150mm. With they way the cables are routed its also impossible to use a modular PSU (there is only room for the cables to exit at the end of the PSU, not along the full width)

Why? The Noctua D14 HSF outperforms the H70 in all 3 categories (Temps\Noise\Price) and it will fit in the QV2F case.

A very small number of PCs sold have blu-ray drives, even in the enthusiast sector. A 12x Blu ray drive has a max bandwidth of 648Mbps. Even if someone were to suddenly release a Blu ray drive with a speed of 20x or high it wouldn't come remotely close to saturating SATA 3Gbps. SSDs are the...

Version B looks fairly good. The extra width for the 5th PCI slot would also give room for the slightly longer radiators I mentioned. One thing to consider for watercooling, you may need to mount the front fans off centre to fit most rads since they have the lump with the barbs on one end which...

There is a huge thread on this case in the SFF forum. You can find alot of photos and info from [H] users that have the case :) http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1539037

I am still interested in seeing how you setup your watercooling on the FT03 (even if it is external).

Best feature in what way? What does it add that improves performance or functionality in any way?

Now that you mentioned it, I think FT03 would have been better if the design was inverted (cables at the bottom, intake fan\PSU at the top). When using positive air pressure the whole heat rising thing doesn't really make any difference. Having the connectors on the bottom means no cables...

Any chance you could post some pics of your setup? I didn't think a 240mm rad would fit the FT03, I would love to see how you mounted it.

Can you post an updated pic? I can't visualize what is blocking the bays\fans with the dimensions you posted? Below are some photos of my rad setup in my Lian-Li V351 to show how I got it to fit. Case dimensions 279mm x 262mm x 373mm (W,H,D) PS. 300mm width would be ideal for a front...

Such a setup would not be a SFF case. You need a mid of full tower for that.

I would suggest moving the 5.25" bays higher up so they are not blocked by a rad. This works in the V351 (I currently have a 2x120mm rad in the front). You would need to ditch the 2x fan mounts above the optical bays to fit this. For me one of the main benefits of 4x 5.25" bays is for water...

Can you reverse the HDD brackets so the drives sit the other way up?

I have looked at the V354 before, it has a lot of disadvantages compared to the V351 for my uses: 1x 5.25" vs 4x 5.25" bay No where to mount a 2x120mm radiator (the front fan mounts are blocked unless you cut out the optical bay and remove ALL HDD bays) 32 litre vs 27 litre (20% larger) HDD...
