Lian Li PC-A16A Question

[volve]

Does anyone know which HDD Kit the Lian Li PC-A16A uses in the bottom 5.25" bays?

Lian Li's website is very confusing as the EX-33A and EX-23NA HDD kits have identical photos and no links to manuals or anything.

I'm looking at getting a A16A but was hoping to get at least 1 more HDD kit to match the first one.

EX-23NA:

EX-33A:
http://www.lian-li.com/product/product06.php?pr_index=42&cl_index=2&sc_index=5&ss_index=12&type=a

Here's the A16A for reference:

Hope somebody can tell me! I can't actually find anywhere that sells either of these HDD kits so that's kind of a problem too... :-/

isn't it obvious?
just look at the size of the lower grill compared to other drive bays. The lower one is a square grill / 120mm fan

the hdd cage they use on the A16 takes up 3 5.25 bays (4 HD's).

@stormshadow:

But Lian Li's site lists 2 HDD kits that look identical: EX-33A & EX-23NA. Is there any way to know which the A16A uses? They both appear to take up 3 x 5.25" bays... :-/

Its the 33A and 33B (black).

Here it is:

Performance-PCs.com sells them.


The 23 takes up TWO 5-1/4" slots, hence the 2 in 23. The 33 takes up 3.

i see what OP is referring to. There's an error on LL's website where they put a picture of the same product for both the 23 and 33.

but as mentioned before, you want the 33

@mellojoe:

Ah ha! Thanks, I was pretty confused there. 2 versus 3 bays, interesting.

@stormshadow:

Thanks for clarifying - thought I was doing something wrong on Lian Li's website for a while there.
