Ugh Help me find Silver Lian-Li PC-V1000 or PC-V1000AW Plus II

[avddreamr]

I'm building a computer for my girlfriend, and I can't seem to find anyone who has this case in stock. You look at amazon, they will have it listed. But they will only have it in black. You won't find it out unless you call. You win an auction on ebay, to discover that the seller doesn't actually have the item and their supplier only has it in black etc.

the only ones that i seem to find on ebay are either black or watercooled. The irony is that my pc-v1000 is black and watercooled. But my girlfriend has fallen in love with the aesthetics of that particular case in silver.

If anyone can help me out... I would be so appreciative. We'd even be ok with a used case.
But we would prefer new. She's a designer, so she's ridiculously picky.

I think the silver case may have been discontinued. I guess the best bets would be to search on the for sale forums (I think I remember seeing two of them, don't know how old the threads were), eBay, or craigslist.

Does it have to be the reverse ATX (V1000/V1000 Plus II)? There's this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/7...ilver_Mid_Tower_Case.html?tl=g1c295s739#blank but it is a regular ATX V1010A. Similar styling at least though.

Found one place, but I'd check if they actually have it or not, and even if they do looks like you'd be stuck with the included 500w power supply: http://www.avadirect.com/product_details_parts.asp?PRID=7064

And last place I found, but I have never heard of this company. They say they have it in stock. Try at your own risk:

Futurepower doesn't have it. They don't update their website. I'm really thinking im going to end up modding a v600.

She is obsessed with the mesh, ala mac pro. It could be that she use a dual quad core mac with a quadro at work. How much that is necessary for photoshop, painter, and illustrator I have no idea.

Update, they have the case. But since they don't stock it, it comes with a psu from their supplier. However, it's the lian-li branded psu, probably the hpc-500w. Which failed at anything about 380something watts on the hard ocp cpu test.

Not to mention we have a corsair 620w hx.

380 something will probably do for q6000 g0 @ 3.2 or so. However the motherboard we have the ip35 pro is apparently quite picky with powersupplies, among many other things.

I'm really starting to think we should either mod v600, or a mac pro case.

We shall see how it goes.

By some chance this case popped up on new egg. We ordered it, let see if it actually gets here. I'll be posting a build log, hackintosh journey. should be fun

newegg has had it for a while for $149. axiontech has it in stock. also, newegg has the v1100 p 2 for $159 which is about half what it cost last year.
