Finally got some time to take a pic. Not the best cable job but no window to show anything off so I don't care to much. Case has tons of room and keeps everything I am running plenty cool. The back 1.5tb drive I only hook up when im doing backups.

Thanks, still trying to justify the price. Think its the last upgrade I am gonna do for a while.
 
Man, That's a Nice case. ( Major Thumbs-Up)

I have the little brother (A-10B) but would like to move up to that one.

A little too rich for my blood, least right now.
 
Wow, that is quite nice!! I have always liked that metal bar in most LL's that runs down the middle
 
that is one mighty fine looking case. holds 8hhds very nice.

That was the main reason I got it. I wanted lots of HD room. I also wanted more room all over and this took care of me on that.
 
Just about everything is perfect on this case minus the front door - I just hate doors on cases but that's just me. Great looking case.
 
wut are those two black things on that middle bar? I have the case too and its awesome, but im still trying to get out of the financial crisis that the case has put me in =(

they are either controller for case fan or cold cathode.
 
Yup. The mobo didnt slow them down as low as I wanted so I threw those in to bring the 1200rpm slipsteams down to ~850rpm where they are quiet and still move a good amount of air. Those are the only two fans I have replaced. I also added dual 800rpm 120mm slipstreams up front in the drive bay area. I actually like the door setup my self. It doesnt let much dust into the case and keeps the noise inside the case. It still runs cool enough to keep my quad at about 60c after 8 hours of Prime and my Video card runs plenty cool staying at about 78C under peak load. Drives run plenty cool as well.
 
That's one beautiful looking case...
I just looked up the price... and wow... ;x
If money was no object... and I had a bigger house / room... I would seriously consider that...

What's on the bottom left corner next to the hard drives with the holes in it and white with black lettering thing?
I wanna assume it's a fan and the power supply is behind that thing... but it doesn't seem to look like it.. .though I would think that'd be where the power supply would be...

Corsair 1000W psu. The 2nd HD cage can be removed and it can hold two power supplies if needed.
 
Nice and roomy, looks awesome. Lian Li has awesome big cases.

I agree. It was either going to be this or a Silverstone. I didn't like the fact the Silverstones didnt do anything to isolate HD vibration. The lian li atleast uses some rubber grommets that are not the greatest way to isolate the vibe but they sure do help. This case does not have any filters which is one of the negatives I had to look at. The front door ends up catching most of the dust tho. I just hit it with a swiffer every now and then.
 
One thing I dont like is the rear lower chamber not moving enough air out... the PSU barely moves any so I installed a dummy PSU plate with an 80mm Nexus fan to blow out. This has really helped the hot air that collects in the back of the lower chamber. I will get some new pics up soon. Made a few changes.
 
New pic with a few changes... Intel SSD for one but I have another one I am installing this weekend for RAID 0.

Its an idea ive been tossing around a while. I could easily get a triple rad up top.

Unfortunately 3x120 and 2x120 rads do not fit up top in the PCA10/A20 line.
There is not enough clearance above the motherboard tray to fit the rad, and the fans. Something needs to go external. It is possible to cut a blowhole for a single 120mm rad and mount it up top in the 5.25" bay area, right behind the front panel. That is what I am doing.

Currently I have a rad on the 120mm fan out, and I bought the cube 3x5.25" bay to 120mm fan converter and stuck a radiator on that also(the tubes that you see running into my 5.25" bay area). Going to move my optical drives to the bottom, and put the current rad right above them, which should give me enough space to fit a third rad up top on a custom blowhole.
 
Looks good. I will probably move to water one day... the fan I really hear in my setup is the video card and I have it turned down also.
