I want that A05

Think a artic cooler 64 pro will fit in there?

33L · 4 Jan 2007 at 00:56

its time for a new case and im still waiting for the a16

Legend · 4 Jan 2007 at 01:12

A05 is available in US. Should filter over here soon. A16 likewise I imagine. I would hope by the end of January/early Feb we'll see it.

Any clue when we might see this at this store? The A16?

On reflection I am actually interested in getting a few of the bezels and putting them on a V600. I can't seem to find this style of perforated bezel anywhere.... ah well

Yeah, it doesn't look like you can get the perforated bezels seperatly. Shame as I would love to try some on my v2000.

They're behind you!!!

You can get them separately, in the UK, right now. They look great in a V-series case.

Legend · 4 Jan 2007 at 15:16

Yup, you can indeed get them. And I saw on some site based in Europe (Germany I think) that you can get the square HD bay with all the perforations in it. Nice!

Messiah Khan · 4 Jan 2007 at 15:29

Oh so you can.

Now I just have to justify to myself, getting 5 of them. Do you guys think it would look like overkill in terms of holliness with having 5 of them in a v2000 (Top two buys filled with phase controller and DVD-RW)

Legend · 4 Jan 2007 at 15:35

It would look better than the plain black ones!

I am informed by the people who used to be the UK Lian Li agent that you actually need to buy two parts for that - the front perforated fan panel and the HDD mounting bracket. Both parts are in very short supply at the moment and they are being prioritised for Lian Li 343B customers.

The A05 is interesting, not seen anyone do a layout with the PSU like that. I still want an A15 though... when will they ever release those I wonder (and more to the point, when will they unhide the link to it on their website).

SidewinderINC · 4 Jan 2007 at 18:19

A05 WANTED NOW!

i always like the smaller cases, but the G50 PSU placement was just terrible, from the pictures ive seen anyways, and i didnt want to give it the chance.

hopefully this design will be good! as its got the 12CM exhaust at the back.

Bodge job for the win

They stole all my ideas about reversed airflow and PSU placement for the A-05

SidewinderINC · 4 Jan 2007 at 19:03

^Thats the stuff!!!

jaykay · 4 Jan 2007 at 20:03

lol the bodge job looks abit better beucase the hd cage imo on the a05 isnt the best designed

artaxerxes · 4 Jan 2007 at 20:12

I 'tracked' down the perforated bezels - thanks! I think they will be the dogs danglies in any of the Lian Li perforated cases.

I am torn between the V600, the desktop 800 (with some extra perforated bezels) or the A16 which should be in the UK tomorrow.

SidewinderINC · 4 Jan 2007 at 20:12

well, its available in the US already. when do we get it here... i'm so impatient as i want my new comp in the next 3 weeks!!!

jaykay · 4 Jan 2007 at 20:15

and as always they will put it £20-£30 more than usa :mad:

I've sent a couple of e-mails off to Lian Li asking if a full tower version of the A16 is planned but all I've had back from them is a blank message. :confused:

I'll keep mailing them until I get a proper reply, I want one so much! lol

Thats just a thing their email does to say they've got your email. You'll get a proper reply within a few days.
There are a couple of other new Lian Li's I've been interested in too and I was directed to their uk ditributer for answers. They originaly said they can't help because they don't stock them yet, then a couple days later they said they'll be recieving stock on Friday, this week.
So these Lian Li's may be arriving at the same time

Although I could purchase one where I am at the moment anyway. Just lugging it back over the Atlantic would be a pain in the rear.

Gibbo, when will these beauties available to order?

The black one looks like a suitable upgrade for my pc v300
