v2000+ vs g70

steveo · 4 Jul 2006 at 09:06

got some money together at last for a new case and am stuck between these 2 i no both of them are great cases but i just dont no which one and my only concern is with the v2000 and my asus a8n32 mobo i no people have these installed with a fan on the chips but am just wondering if its possible to get a third party chipset for the north bridge and south bridge :confused:

also with the layout of the v2000 and the cables from the psu and the sata lengths of cable, am going to go for silver as i already have some drive covers from an old pc65, on a side note creative no that there is more than one colour of cases so why do they insist on sticking with black for the front of the drive sections on there cards

ps. if you have one of these cases could u please post a pic of your rig please

I used a Hiper in my v1000+ and there was a fair bit more movement left in the molex connectors, dont know if it would be enough to get right to the top though.

If it does not you can pick up an extender / y splitter for a couple of quid.

If your using watercooling I would get the G70 everytime, but otherwise my hearts with the V series.

Why do you need the v2000 over a v1000?

got plenty of y spiltters around and am after a full tower over a midi because of hard drive space, got 6 so far (just over 1tb)

Bah ive got to fit that many in a Sugo. (might stick some on USB though.)

v2000+ is a cracking case, looking at the pictures of my Hiper I posted in another thread I think it would reach easily now.

ooohhh u got a link to the pics m8 or is it on a competitive site

Why are your drives in upside down?

was just wondering that surely dust would be a big problem on the drives, i sent an email to overclockers asking if the silver v2000 was a plus as it didnt say on the site and am pleased to say that they are well this is the reply :confused:

Dear steven james,

We only have the PLUS in Silver.

but if am reading this right that would mean that the black that is advertised as a plus is not ???????

Everything is as described on the site the

Lian-Li PC V2000B PLUS Black Aluminium Full-Tower (No PSU) (CA-029-LL)

Is definately a PLUS version. the silver one will be PLUS with the next delivery of stock.

so at present the silver that is in stock at the moment is still the none plus version then

steveo · 5 Jul 2006 at 08:53

so how come that david guy sent me a message saying they had the silver in the plus :confused:

steveo · 6 Jul 2006 at 07:58
