Can anyone tell me them approximate size of the lower chamber in the Lian Li pc-201(Preffered) or the v2000/v2100?

Can I have the length/width/height of the whole lower chamber, and also the length of the lower chamber excluding the psu tray thing.

cheers. :)
 
OK, for a 2100+ the dimensions are as follows

Width (side panel to side panel) - ~195mm once the panels are on

Height (case floor to partition) - ~240mm
Height (over psu tray) - ~210mm

Length (overall) - ~555mm
Length (to first partition) - ~60mm
Length (to centre of second partition) - ~180mm
Length (to last partition) - ~315mm
Length (to PSU tray) - ~420mm

Excellent, cheers. :) Im trying to work out if a mach2 will fit in there. I have seen it done with phase systems, but im wanting to do it without too much modding to the mach itself.

You will have to do a case mod log for that mate, that would be so cool :)

Certainly will do. Im planning on bulding a beast of a machine over the next year or so. Hopeing to base it around the LianLi pc-201, with a mach2(Maybe regassed with a chilly1 head) for the cpu, and a water loop for the NB and GPU. All the drives would be in silentmaxx enclosures. Im going to have 36gb raptor for windows, 250gb for programs/games, 250gb for files, 500gb for media files and 1tb for backup. Eventually I want to also have a conroe setup, although the rest of the setup will come first, as it won't date as fast.
 
That sounds good to me, I have done virtually the same as you but I didnt watercool the NB as I got told that it was not worth it, what do you think??

I was looking at the same idea a couple of weeks ago myself. For me the main sticking point is the psu, the fans on the Mach2 do really need to be push-pull and the psu gets in the way. Also with the mobo being upside down i'm not too shure if the evap head will turn upside down as well.

Not sure tbh. Ive never done water cooling or phase before, so im really jumping in at the deep end here. Ive heard the same about the NB, as it restricts the flow. However as its only the GPU and NB, im sure the extra bit of restiction doesn't really matter. Im not really intending on overclocking the GPU a huge amount anyway, its more for the looks/project/pimpage. :)

Which way does the mach have its fans? Does it suck in the front and blow out the back? Surely the back fans could be replaced with 80mm fans abouve the PSU(See above pic). I hadn't actually thought about the evap head being upside down. I would have though there was a fair amount of flex in it to twist it though. As I say, I know it has been done before. Grey mole over at XS is one of the people who has done it. Im hopefully going to get in touch with him and get some tips and advice. If it proves too hard to do, I might even see how much he charges for a custom setup.

The Mach sucks at the front and blows out at the back. With a couple of powerfull 80mm fans it may well be enough. I just took the evap off mine to try twisting it, and it works fine so it it looks like you should have no probs.
 
Excellent, cheers mate. The height of the lower chamber is no problem, the width is no problem, the only uncertanty is the length. The full length of a mach 2 with the outside panels is apparently 47cm. Which would obviously overlap the psu tray. Im not sure however, how much shorter the actual inside workings are without the mach chassis. Another option, looking at the following pic is it seems possible to remove the psu/fan braket and turn it upside down so that the fans are at the bottom and the psu at the top.

The inside measurement of the Mach, from the fan at the back to the front of the heat exchanger at the front is 450mm. Looking at it there is no scope for moving things closer together, it's very tight in there. The front fan by way is behind the heat exchanger at the front.
 
If the v2000 dimensions are Dimention:210x617x625mm(W,H,D)
surely there should be no problem in fitting Mach2 if it is only 470mm in length ?
You can remove the PSU Mounting Plate and as you suggest mount the PSU at the top of bottom chamber (thats what I will be doing to fit a PA120.2 Rad in bottom of case)
:confused:
 
It would'nt matter if you mounted the psu at the top or the bottom of the bottom chamber. The psu itself in my case is 190mm long including the connectors, so add that to the 470mm needed for the Mach and you get 660mm.
 
Ive been googling for ages, lol. Ive found quite a few pics now, but not that one. Is there other pics from that project, ie side on and the back of the phase system? It looks tight, but possible doesn't it. Is that a straight mach2 or a modified/custom job?
 
That looks about what i thought. I can't find any pics of where the psu is though. Must admit it does look a nice job.

Edit:found it now, it looks a very very small psu unfortunately i can't make out what it is.
