Hi. I have a Lian Li PC-A07 in Black. It's a simple midi case good build and looks stylish just the way I like it. Cooling's fine i'm happy with it i've got it the way I like it. So I bought a Corsair H70 installed it only to see the side panel of my case no longer fits due to the size of the thing! Totally gutted. Since this is a £80+ cooler I was thinking what case can I get that's like mine but it will fit in? I have accesories on this case that i'd ideally like to use so if it's another Lian Li it'll be great (like a intake grill the replaced 3X5.25" bezels at the front).

Any help would really be appreciated.

Is there no way it will go? Can you replace the hose with something more flexible or add elbow joints so you can route them appropriately?

I know for a fact it will fit on the Lian Li PC-60FW, as I have built one personally.

Not to be patronising, but have you fitted it the right way round? As any case with a 120mm exhaust will fit the h50/70. The tubing/connectors should be either facing the top or bottom of the case, not the sides.

@scotty365, the h70/h50's are completely sealed so removing tubing/fittings isn't an options and completely negates the point of the 'all in one' cooler.
