Scroll down to the Spacious Cooling Support bit

I saw that but was a little confused. Top and bottom positions is obvious, 87.5mm but the side has mulitple measurements. Inner scenario max thickness? Does that mean when the radator is in the back chamber? psu side? That says 83mm total thickness which I assumes includes radiator and fans on the the mobo side. Thing is srekal34 looks to have an EK Coolstream XE in that position which is a 60mm radiator so according to Lian Li is wont fit with a 25mm fans as it would be 2mm to wide :confused:

The side bracket can be adjusted into a different position for deeper rad/fan options as shown in the Side Fan Bracket section on the site (basically scroll down some more for a picture)

fellas. I want to get the silver version when they come back into stock, but I've read a few reviews saying the glass on the silver version is much dark...is this the case? or is it just that it looks darker compared with the silver bits on the case? I've got a few bits of RGB but not tonnes so would rather the glass wasn't too dark...

thanks for this. i did have a look on the Lian Li website but must have missed that. Does anyone have the silver version, are the glass panels THAT dark?

Here you go:

Dual loop will be quite tight with dual d5, depending on custom cables and size of the pump top.

How thick is that radiator you installed there?

Thanks, I thought it was. Just wanted to be sure as Lian Li seems to suggest that won't fit.

Is the squashed cable not concerning?

SpudMaster · 12 Jun 2022 at 23:14

I wouldn't be concerned about the fan cable behind the rad

Have the Grey Version myself the panels are definately a darker tint, if you case wont have any internal lighting its prob gonna look quite dull.

Personally i love the look of the silver/grey Evo which is why i went for it myself

Last 2 images show the difference with panel on off so you can see the tint more

I went for the black one in the end... hopefully I'll have time to fit it all soon

Need to finish mine, has been sitting here for over a month.

Just ordered one of these, should be here tomorrow. Decided to finally retire my TJ07

I have done exactly this (except ordered back in March time I think it was).

I do miss the build quality of my Silverstone TJ07 but the modern practicality is soooo welcome. I mean I've only had to drill a few holes to mount my pump/res combo but other than that everything is just there and works.

My TJ07 is heaviliy modified and a little sad to say goodbye if I'm honest, had the case for sooo long! But as you say the modern features and practicality will be very welcome I'm sure. Did you keep your TJ07 or sell it? Probbably going to sell mine but not sure if it would be worth much now due to ages of it even though its in good condition. Would keep it for a rainy day storing it isn't very practical due to the size of it.

Mine was modded too (see old old build in my sig). Powder coated etc etc.

I have kept mine with the intention of not using it ha. I have no idea what it would be worth but for now I might make a home server or a NAS with it and have it stored under the stairs perhaps.

Cases have got lower and wider where as the TJ07 was so tall and deep it makes it really rather cumbersome when having it on or under a desk. I love it too much to part ways though.

So tempted to build a new comp with this case I added everything to my basket and then looked at the price of fans and it makes me want to just wait for next gen CPUs :S

Crazy isn't it that 6 new case fans can be more than the case they go in.

yea all this RGB nonsense just drove up the price of everything to ridiculous levels.
every case has to come with a fan controller and RGB controller these days? I'd rather have the fans like the good old days..

It wasn't even that cheap a build like £1140 before adding fans and that was without a GPU. then I saw fans would probably be 10% of the build cost.... total put off.

once the recession hits these companies will probably be begging us to buy their crap and releasing cases with fans included
