someone already put theirs up on ebay =/
My case just arrived via the USPS. Black No. 0018. I kinda like that my serial number is so low =)
Nice serial! That's weird that yours shipped with external power outlet upside-down.. think most of the others I've seen had the center ground pin at the bottom.
2 are up, check the ebay sub .

This should interesting. Any bets on how high they go? Or were they straight out sells?

and here's the silver case with black feet:

h80 has metal tubing, h80i has rubber tubing, i'm worried this metal tubing will be much less flexible and i'm not about to try and shorten it. :/
If i can't get it in, i may just have to order a good large air cooler.
Florida and Texas are getting theirs instead of me, here in Connecticut, way closer to NJ....
USPS makes no sense.
Received Qty=2 cases Black sn# 643 & 606 in Saint Petersburg FL. Disp#26
My GF was home all day and the mailman didn't even knock, just left the notice in the mailbox...sigh...
LianLi can't go over 1.5mm aluminium thickness because of their tools.- the metal panels were pretty thin and made me uncomfortable. i'm afraid it'll probably be very easy to bend or dent. in fact i was scared i'd bend them when i was just applying force to pop them off those rubber thingies.
Did you check for all possibilities to connect them to an imaginable motherboard at the upper left corner and have some spare to get them routed through the case?- minor detail, but the front usb/audio cables seem longer than necessary. but maybe thats the smallest length they had.

This was discussed early on as an area of concern. Punching the vents with the NCT can leave the panels slightly and unpredictably warped. With the first prototype I received, it didn't seem to be a problem. However the later ones did show some evidence of it. I inquired about it, and was told that they were in fact already pressing the panels flat to try to bring it back to a reasonable degree of deviation, but that they would try overpressing for the production units. Unfortunately, as you've discovered, it's not always adequate. This is an area where the ideal of the design doesn't quite match up with the limitations imposed by manufacturing. The design is really at fault, and by extension, myself. I wish there was some other way of ensuring it wouldn't be a problem, but there didn't seem to be any solutions that didn't require compromising , or even scrapping and rethinking, large parts of the design.upon further inspection, the panels don't quite line up
I've tried reseating the panels but it's still the same.
Here's some pictures...

Any specific suggestions? Think about LL's other cases, and the kinds of parts and processes you see in them, because that's basically what we're limited to. Toolless parts typically take up extra room, as well. Also keep in mind custom plastic parts are out of the question, due to the high costs for mold set up.- would be nicer if it was more tool-less. some of the screws were tiny, and seems like pretty easy to lose and/or strip if not careful. seems like there might be ways to design a future model where you don't need as many tiny screws to fasten everything.
Yeah, we would've used 2mm aluminum for the exterior panels if it had been an option. If we didn't have to use the NCT to punch the vents, we could've.- the metal panels were pretty thin and made me uncomfortable. i'm afraid it'll probably be very easy to bend or dent. in fact i was scared i'd bend them when i was just applying force to pop them off those rubber thingies.
They're actually shorter on the production version than they were on the prototypes. It's better to err on the side of too long though, IMO, rather than too short.- minor detail, but the front usb/audio cables seem longer than necessary. but maybe thats the smallest length they had.
Just ran some quick and dirty GPU stress testing with no fans & a non-blower cooler to test whether an air damn would suffice instead of running additional fans on the bottom to feed the GPU...
If you're concerned about noise like me, it looks like one can construct an air damn and be just as well off for normal usage. Continued mining/torture testing may benefit from feeder fans.
My original air damn idea involved a partition going out to the side panel & front panel, which may look a lot better, and also allow HDD mounts to be utilized on the floor. This setup was just for testing purposes. Please excuse the potato pictures.

Thanks for the heads up!You may want to reconsider curling the SATA cables like that. We used to do that at work to make our builds look neater but over the years quite a few of them were brought in the shop for weird, intermittent issues and swapping the cables fixed them. Now, whenever one of those older rigs comes in for anything we replace the SATA cables.
No - I shortened the stock cables (& deleted many) that came with the OEM ST45SF out of my SG05-450. They're optimized for the SG05, so they look a little shitty for this build, but I will be replacing this PSU soonish.Are those the stock cables that came with the psu ?

My theory is yes, but only slightly. During one of the open side tests, I was blowing fresh air under the GPU w/compressed air for about a minute at a time, sometimes not gently, and temps were unaffected. Would need to install feeder fans to be sure though.
