Ditch my Thermaltake Monster for...

To those of you who already have the Lian-Li PC7+

I've spoken OCUK and they cannot guarantee that if I bought the case from them that it would have 2x120mm fans.

Now the question is: Does the case allow for 2x120mm but not supply 2x?

I already have 1x120mm fan which could replace the 80mm but it would need the correct fittings to support it I guess?

Essentially if i bought the version with 1x120mm + 1x80mm could I replace the 80mm without too much fuss?

The can not guarantee, but they ship the 120mm / 120mm version.

Everyone I have spoken to in the last 9 months has gotten it, there are a couple of threads with others confirming this if you take a look.

Maybe after the last 9 months they have thought that it's time to shift the old stock... that would be just my luck! Hence why I was wondering if my current 120mm would be able to replace the 80mm.

If they had 100% stock of Rev.2 then they would advertise as such. So there is always a chance

doh

buy one, if its not 120mms all round (say on the box ???) return it under the distance sellers act...

its 99% certain itd be 120 front and rear tbh

I got one two days ago, had 2 x 120mm fans.

Yewen · 29 Jun 2006 at 18:26

It says 120mm x 80mm on all the boxes.

That is where the trouble lies, as they cut costs when ordering the PC7+ boxes.

Yewen,

On a side note, what is the pretty blue lcd screen thingy that you have in the V1000+?? I need whatever it is!!!

That's the Fan Controller if I'm not wrong...

Well, it does not actually control the fans with any input from me.

It displays RPM and the temperatures from three thermal probes that came with it, quite a decent bit of kit and looks quite cool on a Lian Li.

More for appearance than function though, but very nice indeed.

Need... convertor...

Silver > Black

There'll be a war in CC over this one day.

I have the silver PC-7+ and my flatmate has black. Let me tell you again: silver > black.

That is all.

id go for the silver pc7+ im looking at gettin that case for my new build any time soon

Behemoth · 1 Jul 2006 at 11:43

Get an RC-810. Have both. Do prefer silver though (and silver doesn't show up marks and dust as badly as black, which is a nice bonus).

And yes, I've already mentioned the 2x120mm fan thing to OcUK bods (thanks Yewen). Because of the boxes all being the same, they cannot guarantee what you get, but it sounds like there's good odds you'll get what you want.

I almost bought a Xaser III as well, but stuck with boring beige instead (at the time). Don't know which is worse.

Yewen · 1 Jul 2006 at 14:46

Yeh, OcUK only seem to buy up new stock, they are just covering themselves at the end of the day. I would be the same if I did not have the time to check every case before shipping.

Black for the win. Its a nice case and a bargain at the price they sell for.

Yewen · 2 Jul 2006 at 00:44

Mark A what version of the case do you have?

Mark A · 2 Jul 2006 at 00:46

I have the 2 x 120mm fan one, i got it from OcUK a good few months back.

Yewen · 2 Jul 2006 at 00:54

Ahh ok, just was curious as it was the same badge as the 120 x 80 version.

Beenom · 2 Jul 2006 at 01:08

Wow I might be being stupid or something but, that is the first picture in which i've seen how sexy PC7+ looks! :eek:

the OcUK pictures are SO plain! I think it looks better than the Akasa Eclipse and its not even THAT much smaller.. I think i'll choose the Lian Li for my first build later on
