v2100 or tj07 ?

[jetjaguar]

last post about this i swear .. lol both will be black ..

i wanna buy a case that will last awhile lol .. im always switching .. a case which is a good air cooler and will also be good for water

I like the lines of the V2000/2100 myself so i went with that. Either is good depending on your tastes. To each their own i guess...

Seeing that more high end motherboards will come with heat pipes, the V2100 maybe at a disadvantage here. Those boards just don't work in cases that mounts the motherboard upside-down.

more for the silverstone so far ..

that is the only problem with the v series lian li .. is the btx .. btx is pretty much dead .. and for heatpipes on future motherboards .. this could be a problem ..

I'm fairly sure Lian Li doesn't make a btx case. Anywho, I vote Silverstone. Good airflow, plenty of room, plus it's not a Lian Li or a Coolermaster. Both make excellent cases, but I feel Silverstone's quality is sometimes overlooked. My .02

the v series cases by Lian li are btx

I just wish the TJ07 had a version with a window on the side

I was under the impression the motherboard was upside down. It may be btx compatable though.

 

[hacktor2]

i'm pretty sure you can put a normal atx motherboard in the lian li cases even though they are btx.

It is sad that you wish such a thing in a case modding forum. Why not do it yourself?

Does power cable reach to the mainboard in TJ07?
In this point , lian-li's upside-down has advantage.

Besides , v series aren't compartible with BTX form factor

 

[jetjaguar]

yeah that is one thing .. the motherboard power connectors are way at the top .. that would be a pretty long run .. maybe the v series is better

 

[jetjaguar]

funny how 3 people voted for lian li and like 20 for silverstone

Yes you are rignt, you can put a ATX mobo on the Lian Li. But the newer Nforce 4 chipsets with heatpipes are not meant to be installed upside down, ala Lian Li.

And for the record the Lian Li is NOT a BTX case!

Google the BTX spec. It requires a bunch of different things that Lian Li just doesn't do.

Specifically Section 3.3.3 talking about the Thermal module.

LiLi, and to those that argues about heatpipes, hes watercooling... it wont matter...

Not that [H] yet . . . Maybe one day though

 

[jetjaguar]

well i will watercool soon .. but will remained aircooled for a bit ..

my motherboard doesnt have a heatpipe .. its a dfi expert .. and my cpu heatsink is a scythe ninja .. which needs to only be horizontal to be effective

If' he's only W/C the CPU and GPU yes it will matter.

Get the Silverstone. I am.

According to Asus, their chipset heatpipe coolers work in any configuration.

Really where?

I called them up to RMA the new A8N32 and they said the board is not supported if it was installed upside down.

So where was it again?

 

[jetjaguar]

thanks guys .. im just a lian li guy
