Black or Silver?

[Psymonkee]

Thinking about the idea of changing my V1000 for the PLUS version and can't decide if I should stay with silver or go to black.

Any good reason to choose one of the other?

The black looks kinda cool but I guess scratches would show up more easily...

Help me choose !

Not really any more noticeable.

When I made the switch I stayed with the silver, just so god damn sexeh!

You could try with the black, for a change, but if it isnt broke, why fix it!

(Refering to colour, the v1000+_ is a better case than the v1000 by a fair way. Removeable lower compartment components makes the case much more user friendly.)

Silver gets my vote!

 

[WJA96]

The Black is lovely, and it's a little bit easier to match black than silver and the aluminium colour of the Lian-Li (it's not silver, it's aluminium).

Either way, it's a winner.

You get the Stealth panel with the v1000+ so I just use a black drive, looks good enough

Yewen do you have any pics of your case with the PSU compartment divider removed?

Wanna make sure my Tagan will fit

Also is the rear fan meant to blow air in & use the (forgotten technical term here...) metal thingy to guide air onto the CPU HS?

 

[Yewen]

I do, but with the Hiper, which blew up this morning powering a Duron 800 system, utter pile of poop, noisey and the worst PSU I have used for years.

Sorry for the picture, it is quite old and quickly taken just to show how ugly the Hiper was

The comparment divider has just been moved back a place, and a cage removed as you should see, hopefully.

As you can see, a acre of space!

I will have to post current pictures now, as that is a mess

Modular my backside, I really loathe thoose hipers, Tagan and Seasonic are 10x better at everything. Do not know why this forum, and this one alone, has a fascination with such a second rate product.

That is how I run my rig at the moment, bar the addition of a Seasonic PSU and a VF700, soon to be 900 on the GPU.

I do not use the CPU ducting, but some people benefit from it, especially if your cooler mounts the fan on the side not the top.

Try it with and withough, can be mounted with 2 screws so no hassle really.

 

[Psymonkee]

are the dividers just screwed in now in stead of rivets?

 

[Yewen]

Yup

And the hdd cages, and just about anything that got in the way in the original

 

[Psymonkee]

Sounding good already

Now I just have to make sure I don't click to add that Dell WS TFT to my shopping list ;(

 

[Noni]

Get the black!

 

[chaparral]

Get the silver one...Because am getting the black one and i don't want the black ones to be sold out before i get my order in for one..

That is how I run my rig at the moment, bar the addition of a Seasonic PSU and a VF700, soon to be 900 on the GPU..

Why you not watercooling the graphic card as well with the Zalman Reserator for less noise..

 

[Tosk]

black all the way, silver is so common

just look at it, its so sexy

 

[Psymonkee]

Hmm that picture has changed my mind....It appears to be silver inside

 

[p4radox]

I'd get black, but that's just because I've never had a black case and am fed up of silver!

 

[Yewen]

Why you not watercooling the graphic card as well with the Zalman Reserator for less noise..

I am, I was just testing the card was working in the pic

But with the clocks im running its a little toasty, so I added a vf700, and am going to switch it for a vf900 tommorrow probably.

 

[Traducer]

Black!

 

[Yewen]

Which one are you going for?

You have me on the edge of my chair / pile of washing behind me.

Spill!

 

[Psymonkee]

I know a guy with a black one....maybe some sort of twin tone job

 

[Yewen]

Haha, would certainly be different.

And with some more proactive mods it can be made into an even better, quieter case:



And just out of intrest, do you still use the magic blue ***** Yewen?

If so what temps you getting with it
