Hi all,

I'm glad I made that post. Lots of Lian Li fans here :P

Me too :-). Lian Li PC6010 (the aquarium one, though if you need to remove
the aquarium side panel, they also provide you with a plain aluminium

panel
too).
Two (very minor) points about the case:
1) The PSU is meant to be screwed to a back plate and slid into the case
from the outside: the fan grill on the base of the TruePower 480 stops you
from doing that (the hole in the back of the case isn't quite deep

enough).

When I installed my TruBlue480 into my 6010, I took the bottom grill off to
slide the PSU in and put it back on after it was in. Unfortunately now that
I have a fat-ass Zalman7000 on the CPU, it would be near impossible to get a
tool in there And I can't simply slide my mobo out because I went
hardcore on the internal wire management.

No big deal, as if you're replacing the PSU you need to open up the PC
anyway.
2) The wires coming from the USB ports on the front of the case have a
connector on each individual wire rather than a "block" connector, which
makes it rather fiddly to attach to the motherboard header.


I thought that was because mfg's don't have just one standard... I found the
plugs a little hard to work with, but I waited to sober up before
translating Lian-Li terms to ASUS terms and it was really easy to do.


Having said that, I really like the case, though that one is probably too
small for your needs. Will take 4 x 5.25" drives and 6 x 3.5", but the

lower
three bays are directly behind the front intake fans.


Will keep reading and also look for a good supplier of Lian-Li cases in

the
U.K


Try www.kustompcs.co.uk . I use them and www.overclockers.co.uk for just
about all my hardware. Kustompcs tend to stock stuff I can't find

elsewhere
(in the UK), and I've used them quite a few times without a problem.
