Anyone own one ? does this case have big problems with larger heatsinks due to hardly any top clearance ?.
 
its a great case, but it depends upon motherboard layout. My P5K can(just) let me configure the HSF any way i want it to, my DFI RD600 is so close to the top that its limited to pointing upwards.

Might limit "square" coolers like the Scythe Infinity/Ninja, but most asymmetric coolers shouldnt have a problem.

Great case though, Lian Li took all that was good about the P180 layout and ironed out all the flaws, and put some Lian Li style flair and quality of manufacture (as well as a lot of aluminium) into it.
 
I own one, Its a beutiful case, understated and very versatile. 100% happy with it.

The twin power supply option is great too, it comes with a cable to split the mobo connector.

The case itself is plenty big enough, but as said, the CPU socket position on the mobo may limit you depending on the mobo.
you may need to remove or externally mount the top 120mm fan.
the grphics cooleris also removable if needed.

you may, like me, also want to buy a sythe kama bay cooler to mount in the top drive trays to really slip-stream air through the case.

see pic with a thermalright ultra120, no mobo yet...buying the case broke my bank!
you certainly wont regret buying this case.

Ok thanks just wanted to know about clearance there's one for sale in the mm and was thinking of purchasing it.
 
Yes that's the one glad you sold it.Yes that was what was putting me off there's just not enough room at the top.
 
ny next case is a PC-A71........ PC-A10 outside with a PC-G70 inside layout and some snazy hdd bays and 2x120mm front fans.

SOOO tempted to WC this case..... could fit a 120.3 and a 120.2 internaly, though the .3 would require some holes in the roof.
