Upside down Lian Li case

Ricochet J · 10 Apr 2009 at 19:42

Hi, I'm looking for a Lian Li case or other high quality cases that have the window panal on the right hand side in effect, turning the whole case on it's top.

Do these exist?

Numerous Lian Li's do this.
If I remember correctly all of the V series cases do.

Fixed.

They're hard to come by nowadays unless you look second hand.

Yes the V series are all capable of doing what you need.

This is also the layout of the PC-A05, although it doesn't actually have a window if that's what you're looking for.

If you want a window you'll have to cut it yourself but it's the best case you'll get for that kind of money

just remember 1 thing about btx tower like the Lian li V series is the if ya M/Board has heat pipes instead of heat blocks/sinks < the heat pipes might not work as well as they should being upside down ..

i have a V2100 an V2100+ towers an i have make sure that all my MB are not heat pipe cooling for this reason ...

plz correct me if iam wrong but this is what i was told ...

There has been various debate on that point Mav - Many boards are litrally just a copper pipe nothing more - these work fine in any orientation. I'm a bit out of the loop at the moment but when I remember originally read about it most boards were absolutely fine upside down.

My old V-2000 from 2004 was the inverted typed.

Heatpipes rely to evaporation of liquid and then convection of that gas to cool end of heatpipe where it condenses and heated less dense matter tends to move upwards and cool liquid downwards so there's surely at least slight effect from reversing directions.
(without heatpipe's inner surface being coated by fine mesh for capillarity there would be "major" problem)

Most inverted cases just lack active exhaust at top where heat/warm air rises so that's probably bigger problem.
