Looking at getting this case, mainly for a watercooling project.. Is it likley that a 360 + fans would fit in the upper portion of the case?

If the general opinion is that it won't, can anyone suggest an alternative?
 
i'm putting one in a v2000 atm. I will put some pics up when it's done to give you an idea but it will certainly overlap the motherboad and mean losing the top drive bay
 
think most people who get a v2 series use the bottom section of the case to put 120.3 in, think you can get a 360 and a 240 in the bottom and still have room for your psu

I was thinking of a V2000 but wasn't sure on whether it was long long enough for a 360, the case looks very tall though!
 
Hey V-Spec been looking at the same case for a while and this is my finding. Its exactly the same as the TJ07 So u can fit a quad rad in the bottom (the side that doesnt have the psu fitted while the otherside can fit an dual rad (even if a normal powersupply is used as it only just about doesnt fit (cant fit a triple rad on that side just with a normal size psu)). So in this case u can place a 360 rad in the top a quad rad in the bottom on one side and a dual rad on the other. Hope this helps V-spec just remenber the internal design is exactly the same as the TJ07 so anything a TJ07 will fit a V2000 series will also.

I had 2 PA120.3's in the bottom of mine and there was still plenty of room for the psu.

All depends what rad you want in the top, if it's a feser or thermochill PA series rad, which are very thick, you ARE going to lose 2-3 5.25" bays and at least 2 pci slots.

If it's a thinner rad, it wont be so bad, but it all depends what hardware you are going to be using and what rads =)
 
ok, not running entirely to plan but here goes

this will give you an idea of the size

first a point on ac ryan radgrillz:-

1. the stainless steel doesn't match lian li alu very well (I'm spraying it)
2. They tell you to drill the fan mounts out more but the steel is very very hard so you need a good drill bit. I also snapped several self tappers in it and had to drill one out which was a pita
3.the template doesn't quite match the swiftech triple so big holes are needed

Anyway, that may not be important to you.

I have a big problem however. The rad obviously overlaps the tray a bit and you are going to lose 2 pci slots depending on card length. My prob is that my sata ports stick out at the top left of the board so the lead is hitting the rad.

There are no fans attached there. My initial plan was to have the rad attached through the fanse to the case/grill but due to the sata ports it wont work. I have had to attache the rad direct to the case with the fans beneath it but i can only fit 2 fans as the third hits the sata's. even if the sata ports were not a problem It would still be very cramped. A thermochill would be really bad.

However, losing one fan should make the tubing really neat when I have finished and I am also having a 120.1 on the 120mm fan mount so still plenty of cooling in there.

I think If I were going to do it again, I would go with a double rad though. would be much easier.

Full build thread to follow
 
You mean a normal ATX size motherboard. Btw fair play didnt know u could fit a 360 rad down there has havent had a chance to actually try and fit one (down there anyway as thats the area im going to use for the pump ).

Also thats not the case we are talking about as that is not the V2110B which has the top part the normal way round instead instead of this dodgy way round. So u can fit fans and 360 rad with ease (saw a build log with that setup (quad in bottom 360 in top).

The rads'll easily fit in the bottom, but you'll have to remove all the hdd racks.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem unless you have loads of hard drives, as you can mount them in the 5.25" bays.

:D
