New Lian- Li PC-A10B

Hi, The only cable I had an issue with was the 12v one, though it seems ok with the supplied extention. Can't you run the cables under the rear of the video cards, that's how I've done it with my X1900XT-X.....

Hi Chris,
In the end I cancelled my A10 order as I was not sure about a few things. I went with the Lian Li G70, but that is causing me some confusion now as well. Sigh..maybe I should have stuck with the Akasa. :(
 
The uncertainy on fitting my tuniq and the fact I got the G70 for about 40 quid less changed my mind.

Still it looks like the place I bought it from are now suddenly out of stock :(
 
Hi, just to let you know that I got rid of my scratch by using metallic paint colour restorer. As it isn't too aggressive it's worked a treat....

Hi, removing the door takes seconds:


However changing it round is difficult because the anti-vibrate seals are glued in place. I decided not to attempt this...

To chriscatt .i have tryed to take the door off mine but something is still holding it on .i took out the five screws but there something else holding it on .how did you get yours off chriscatt
:)
 
Hi humax, I just unscrewed the screws holding the top hinge in place and lifted it off the bottom one - there was three screws. If I'm right, there is a flexible gasket that would hold it in place if you removed the screw from inside the door. It seems to be glued in place....

My only potential issue now with the Lian Li is whether the mobo tray will slide into place with the Tuniq installed. EffBee says it does not which is a bummer.

Having just fitted one last night ( I know I owe the forum some comments) I can confirm that the the A10B mobo tray definitely lets a Tuniq be mounted and then slid in with a very heathly 5mm or so of headroom. So that's not a worry.

Other points the A10B easily accomodates the Seasonic M12 whereas says the V1100 required removal of an internal panel to fit... Not sure it would hold a monster 1100watt psu but it is a roomy compartment

However fitting the 4 pin psu to mobo cable was tricky as it is along way to travel...

p.s Happy with the case now I have changed top fan configuration and it does let you build a V quiet system

True, although not if you mount it the other way round as I did, so the fan is actually facing front to back, as it ideally should. It still fits in the case, but you can't slide it in. I had to mount it after I'd slid the tray part way in.

Admittedly my solution requires a change in fan configuration(top fan becomes exhaust not inlet) but I think this change improves airflow through the case overall so is simple and desirable. But that is for a fuller post on the case which I will try and do...
 
I would guess this is because you have correctly aligned the Tuniq with the case's default fan configuration by having the Tuniq exhaust to the rear.

With the Tuniq rotated 90% (exhaust upwards) it becomes slimmer in relation to the gap in the rear to slide it in and so fits without a problem? Of course a different motherboard might change the position of the tuniq slightly so making it not work for you??

I do believe the case "works" better in airflow terms having rear and top as exhausts with intake from the front bottom 120mm fan. This does require playing with fan speeds but I have found having a Noctua running at around 1200rpm at the bottom balances well with 2 running at 800rpm at rear and top and gives a nice quiet fan configuration.

One of the reason this works for me is I have no HDD's in the bottom compartment (they are all in Silent maxx HDD enclosure in 5.25" bays) so leaving a good clear path from the front fan into the main body of the case.

Hope that helps!!
 
From your picture it looks like the issue might be your Tuniq is higher up the motherboard than on my P5B DH so causing the Tuniq to either foul the top fan when slding in or be too high to go through the nice gap at the rear that th rear exahust fan creates?
 
what's the best fan config with one of these? especialy if your mobo socket is so far "north" that you have to mount your heatsink north-south rather than east-west? I have an Ultra-120, and just ordered a DFI RD600, looking at getting this case next.

Also got a ICEQ3 DHES cooler on my X1950Pro, so i'll have both it and the blower pushing air out the back. Could set back/top as exhausts, with an extra 120mm in one of the drive bays (have with my current rig), but would that get enough air throughput?
 
I've just ordered the A10A (managed to get the last one luckily :)).

Will be building this Saturday, using:

Lian Li A10A
Asus Commando
Intel C2D E6600
Thermalright Ultra-120 (with Noctua 120mm fan)
BFG 8800GTX
2GB OCZ PC6400 Platinum, &
Enermax Infiniti 720W modular PSU

Interesting to see if the Ultra-120 fits without any problems, as I haven't measured it's size compared to say the Tuniq Tower.

Will post again on the weekend to let you know if there are any issues.
