Hi all,

Planning to build my first rig soon and was thinking about using a Lian Li V1000plus case with a Tagan TG580-U15 580W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi Compliant Modular Silent PSU (CA-009-TG).

I've noticed the V1000+ has an upside down configuration with a distinct PSU compartment. The Tagan also has a 120mm fan adjacent to the rear grill rather than a smaller fan on the opposite face. It is also modular. Can anyone foresee any problems I might have using these two together?

Thanks for your help.
 
It will work fine, but you may have to take one of the hard drive bays out, limiting you to 3 hard drives.

If you need more hard drives than 3 you do not really need a modular PSU. :)
 
If you want me to post some pics give me a buzz and I can post some for you. :)

If it is tommorrow I may take some time as I should have the Lian Li S80 to play with!
 
She is not here yet, why now is the best time. :p

The TR3a is optional but the rest is stock loadout wise.

Fitted Akasa Ambers to it aswell, really nice case!
 
Was there something you didn't like about the fans that came supplied?

What does the readout on the TR3A tell you?

I hope mine looks that nice when I've finished bodging it all together!
 
Thats mine without cable tidying, looks much nicer up until today when I made it ready for the new case!

TR3a shows fan speed, temperature, time and hard drive activity.

The fans I replaced with ambers, my rig is silent during normal windows use and a bit noisey for games. What my main aims were.
 
I'm sure this is a silly question, but is voltage something I need to decide upon for my fans? I just thought they plug in and revolve!
 
Thats how they work, plug them in to a 12v molex and away they go, at 12v so full speed.

You can mod them, so that they only use 7v or 5v from the molex, making them spin a lot quieter but push less air.
 
I see.

A bit of a change of topic, but do you have a special set of tools you use when you build PCs?

I have one or two screwdrivers around the house, but they're a bit log really.

I noticed Victorinox make a special 'techy' swiss army knife:

The Cybertool

I don't have anything that small, although I'm sure I'd find a way to set dip switches without resorting to their 'pressurised ballpoint pen'
 
That a nice looking case yewen i remember a while back when you convinced me to get the lian li and now i have got it all watercooled and every thing
