g70 or v2000

Peg · 3 Apr 2006 at 19:18

I have just moved my system from a TJ05 to a V2000 plus with a seasonic 600 power supply. The front panel cables were plenty long enough and the extra space in the case made the build very easy. I hated my TJ05 and only just got round to getting rid of it and wish I had done it earlier. I personally can not find a fault with the Lian-li.

The only thing I wish is that it had a removable mobo tray like the pc60 series

If it did you loose the rear 120mm fan to a 80mm, and you loose the blower fan, making the case useless then due to it having no cooling for the top compartment.

It has enough room to quickly build in the case, only has taken me a few seconds to get the motherboard in on the three ocasions I have fitted a new one. The lack of hard drives in your way helps as you have loads of room around the CD-Rom bay edge to get your fingers around and about it.

I am quite bad with my hands, so I would have issue with it, on a couple of cases due to my hands I am incapeable of lining the Motherboard and the backing plate up

I have a V2000 its a great case

If you do use a mobo with heatpipe just put chipset coolers on

Dont think chipset cooler fans are actually needed with this board.
Under Asus Probe my MB Temps have never been above 45C even after 2hour session of gaming so no great worries for me.
I have 120mm fan blowing thru Scythe Ninja heatsink onto the Chipset Block
so it never gets too hot.

m8 just looking on the lian li site and it has 2 types of v2000 one with a plus the other with out ????? whats the difference in the two and which one is it that overclockers stock :confused:

Email them to check which they stock, I do not work for them

The + versions are a bit better, but it is not so much of a issue in the v2000's as the v1000's.

+ has removeable hard drive racks and seperator plate, rather than it being riveted in. They come with a little box of extra's too.

In the case of the v1000, the + turns it from a ok but not brilliant case into one of the best. Ideally with the V series you want the +, the worst it can do is give you the same case, but they are more flexible with the arrangement of the PSU.
