Looks very nice. Does the back thing fit on still with the zalman? It make a difference to noice/temps?
Soldato
I want this case.
Also, that wc. *dribbles*

Looking good, shame its not a air cooled cpu to get some idea what what case/mobo/cpu temps would be in comparison with your old v1000+.
How much room is above the psu? that a 80mm fan?
The more i see this case the more im thinking of getting this instead of a v1000+

Above the PSU is a 80mm fan and removeable bracket yeh.
And I purchased this case for my main rig, reserator and all as I go for silent systems so that is what I put in it.
But to let you know, like for like system replacement both without fans the v1000+ is the better passive.
Add in fans and the S80 is the better aircooler, just.
The v1000+ and S80 are both not about extreme air cooling though, if I wanted that I would still have my Savrow SR71 or a Akasa Eclipse.

the one thing I was impressed with during My P180 build was the dampers on the hdd tray which was the attention to detail I liked
Unfortunately the P180 is 1/2 the price of this, which looks lovely but not anywhere near as convinced.
Also wish there was a little bit more space around the mobo, and with Yewen having a few niggles and an insanely long build time just puts me off that bit too much
Quality post and pics though

Well im wanting a bit more silence in my next case, my current stacker has 3x120mm inlets, 1x120mm outlet, 2x80mm outlets and a 80mm top blow hole, aswell as the cpu, psu and gfx fans, so as u can imagine is loud even with all the fans running at 7v, case temps are excellent but i play less and less pc games now i have a xbox 360, so dont need or want a tornado blowing at the side of me when im not gaming

Oh no, don't get me wrong, the motherboard and bits were in in about 15 mins, plenty of motherboard room though.
I spent about 8 hours taking measurments, flexing panels, looking at rivets, the sort of thing nobody else would do.
The actual build took me an evening, 7pm till 11pm. Quite long for me but I was going very slow taking pictures and getting the cables ok first time.
The niggles are things like too many screws on the internal panels, 5 on one of them when 4 could have done, but its Lian Li going over the top. Great case but in some areas they have tried to build it TOO well.
I will post more info in a few days, but certainly do not let my comments put you off, this is the best case I have ever found for me personally.
Would I recommend it to everyone, no, would I recommend it to people who are after what I was, most certainly.

Do you think this 120.2 rad would fit in the space above the psu where the 80mm fan is situated if you did'nt mind losing the top two drive bays?

Possibility of fitting a 120.2 rad at the front of the case also, but the clearance between the hdd racks and the front looks small, maybe the front panel that the fan brackets bolted too could be removed, although even if you could the space available for the side inlets would then become a issue i reckon

All the time. Especially when gullible people are running around with digital cameras getting all excited and stirring up the air.
Back to the topic. I'm mucho mucho impressed with the look of that case. However, as I'm looking for something smaller I'm sticking with the v1000+ for my planned build, as it already has the Yewen seal of approval!
