New Lian-Li PC-A04 (Micro-ATX)

if your not overclocking then the stock intel cooler will be fine

I guess so, will need to see how loud it is once installed and then go from there.

KiiYzOo · 30 Jan 2011 at 15:13

It's pretty quiet

I wonder if you could put a 120.2 in the front. Would make a nice mini-WC case if that can be done.

I was thinking that when I first saw it

Ive always love Lian Li, I have a Antec P180, maybe I should upgrade, as Iver ordered a new cooler.

For thathe would need to mount it at the front though as the rear fan is too small.

How is it too small its 120mm exhaust?

ATIorNvidia · 30 Jan 2011 at 16:10

would have opted for that case if the back fan was 120mm and not 80mm.

KiiYzOo · 30 Jan 2011 at 16:10

Oh I didn't notice there was a top exhaust fan

There is a 120mm exhaust at the top.

Do you reckon the H50 would work properly if the radiator and fan are attached to the top of the case? I would need to look at clearance once I install the initial gear but it might be an option.

I'm also thinking that I would like this case for my main system once I've come up with a mass storage solution like a NAS. Altho in the meantime I'm probably going to go either for the PC-9F or B25F, unfortunately the 9F isn't available yet as far as I know.

Omar, I've bought a Silverstone NT06-E and Thermalright TY-140, I have yet to install it, but that came to £35, it would be cheaper than a crappy H50. It's 82mm without a fan, so only 107mm once one is installed.

Aye, I know what you mean!

Thanks, I'll keep this one in mind. The other potential issue is the clearance around the OCZ Reaper 2x 4GB DDR3 modules I have gone for.

A smart looking case indeed, but have you sen the size of it?

188w x 386h x 460d... hardly SFF, especially the depth!

Indeed, cannot see the point. My A06B is essentially the same size and it's ATX. Can't see any benefit whatsoever here.
