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

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

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
 
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

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.
http://www.formfactors.org/developer\specs\BTX_Specification v1.0b.pdf

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 :D
 
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?
