Get it

Brilliant little cases with the right cooling set up, I would suggest getting the Blue Orb 2 or Zalman CNPS8000 cooler. Also the Powercolor 512mb 1950pro rather than the 7950gt.

Thanks, I like the Zalman coolers as i already have a 7700 on my P4 northwood is the CNPS8000 recommended to work with the core 2 ?

Hi,

As i am having great difficulty finding the V600B in the UK, does anyone know if i can use PC-60 instead for a Core 2 E6600 ?

Thanks

The top fan extracts by default but I've set it to 5V and it doesn't seem to be doing a lot. The PSU is turned away from the HSF so isn't contributing to the airflow and I'd be a bit worried about not having any air forced towards the HSF. I might give it a try though the next time I have the case open. I'm about to order some more RAM for it so it could be this weekend.

i got the case today and found that PowerColor ATI Radeon X1950 Pro Extreme SILENT Heatpipe which i was recommended to get does not allow the the top fan to fit in the case

OK - The fan can go in 4 ways;

Inside the cage
-blowing in
-blowing out

Outside the cage
-blowing in
-blowing out

If your fan is mounted outside the cage then put it inside the cage - otherwise your graphics card must actually sit well above the line of the rear expansion slots, which means that graphics card is not compatible with any Lian Li II series case that uses the Patent Cooling Fan. I really doubt that is the case.

tried again today just can't seem to get the mount holes to align with the case as the cage keeps hitting the ATI cooler ?

Well, it looks like that's not going to fit.

any suggestions, can i run without the cage fan or do i need to return the card ?

Try it for 24 hours without the upper fan. It may not make any diffeence. If it does then you'll need to return the card I guess.

any recommendations for a card that will fit ?

Look at the piccies of the cards. Anything where the heatsink doesn't extend above the top of the mounting bracket should fit e.g. the HIS and Sapphire X1950Pro's.

have sent a email to shop to see if this can be exchanged. Anyone know if this is possible ?

Spoke to Shop this morning it's not possible, So will try the Powercolor 1950 pro without the cage fan attached, hopefully the temps will be ok
