Okay i would definitley go with the lian li v200 no doubt, but one problem i see is the evo 360 radiator i got, i'm wondering if the evo 360 can be mounted on top of the lian li? i've seen it done on a cm stacker, or can it be done ont he bottom of the lian li? Any help.

CMStacker or Lian LI V2000 ?

You can mount a 360 on top of the lian li and an aquatube. If you can though i would go with the new stacker 2 which comes out soon. I got some ideas about that case ! here are pics of a v2000 with a 360 http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=881561

go for the v-2000, or if you want more then there is one which has 9 5.25" slots
Hook me up! Too bad it isn't next week as I will be down there on Wednesday.......Aviddigi said:
The only thing I don't like about the V series is the board is upside down, and you lose two PCI slots on most boards when you installa top mounted radiator. Now that I have the DFI NF4 board, I only have one open PCI slot and the others are blocked.........
I know how that goes, i had 0 open PCI slots but that MSI board had some good onboard sound. I know there is another person that posts here and is getting one soon, when i go back over to the that guys shop i will ask him if there is an ETA on a good sized shipment. The only thing i didnt like is the gap on the front top and where the usb slot are also. I got some fiberglass and bondo left so im starting to get some more ideas.
New stacker is nice, good cooling. But if they make it out of aluminium, it'll suck balls(unless theres a larger steel version of it). The stacker has a rep for being strong and non-flimsy, the opposite to lian-li cases which, although being built very well, are flimsy and vibratey as all hell.
The people at coolermaster need to realise the reason people but the stacker is strength and size, both of which they've removed and minimized respectfully. I want two PSUs, where can i stick the second one? i want 3 fans at the front aswell as CD drives, where will they go? all a bit of termaltake premodded wank IMO.
I lay the blame on ignorant company people and a demand, from wankers, for cases with bits of 'flare'. Fuck off, give me the stacker 1 any day over anything thermaltake can attempt to create. Coolermaster makes simple, elegant cases, why should they stop?
Side Note: If there is a larger, steel version of this second one (can handle 2 psu and 12 front bays), i'll take back all i've said, if not, i mean every bit of it.

CAD OC'er said:I hope they fix the spacing on the CM Stacker2,
I have the Stacker1 and it has weird spacing on the sides of my aquabay
i ran into that with my shrouds - a lot of people wanted to mount a 77 b'ville with shroud in the lower front of the case -- in some stackers it would drop right in but in others they had to shave a couple of mm off of each side of the shrouds mounting lip. That was a big "WTF??" as all of the shrouds are cut on laser cnc and bent on cnc and checked afterwards (hence, they are damn tight dimension-wise) -- I did a double check on the 50+ shrouds I had at the time and they were all within a fraction of a fraction of an inch so I asked checked the dimensions on the stackers' bay width and they did not match up. I like the stackers but the tolerances could be a bit tighter.

I've got the V2000B.
I think I'd go with the CMstacker if I had to do it again.
The stacker looks much easier to implement Hardcore WC.
the V2000 just seems more cramped.

The stacker isnt any bigger, but for WC is better layed out, because installing a rad in teh top will not loose you any pci slots. The only issue you have is finding something to do with the tops of the front pillars if you take the swooshy bit off. which is easily solved with a little bit of ingenuity.
Stacker 2 803 is much better for me than a v2000b, it has plenty of bays, airflow and is all 2mm thick sturdy aluminum, for water cooling the v2000 is fine but for an air cooled sli machine the v2000 can't hang stock:

Dude the Stakcer 2 is ugly as sin, and is a travesty against the name in every possible way (ill give you teh 4x120 sidepanel). Stacker 1 is the king of good cases, not a trace of plastic in anywhere improtant (drive rails dont count) and no fscking door! God i hate doors on cases.badash said:

Seriously though, with the way the top is youre gonna be screwed for anything bigger than a 120mm rad, unless you want to mount your psu in a drive bay somewhere.

Well if you are planning on waiting a few months then you can also get one of the new Lian-Li V series of cases that are being specifically built for water cooling from the ground up. I'm going to go look at the prototype case this week.
I would expect to see production units available in about 2 months.I agree Herulach I hate case doors also and plan to remove it, I think it is removable anyways. I would like a seperate compartment in a lower section for the power supply like the p180: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article249-page2.html
But that's not too big a deal since it will be water cooled. The radiator position for me will work fine on the stacker 2 but some people might like the stacker one better.

Nice Lian Li products: (j/k) I think they lost their minds at Lian Li
