Which power supply for Lian-Li PC-78 case?
Folks
I've just purchased the Lian-Li PC-78 Server case and have noticed that the power supply mounting plate is reversed from other cases. By this I mean while viewing the back of the tower, the fan is to the left with the power plug on the right. This means that the internal fan faces up instead of down. I brought the power supply back to my dealer to exchange for the proper one and they said that there is such power supply where the fan faces down for my case's particularpower supply orientation. Is there a problem if I just install the power supply with the fan facing up? (I'm assuming that the internal fan sucks the air and blows it out through the rear fan. Or I may have to "mod" the case by "forcing" the installation of the power supply so that the fan faces down. Anyways, other than this peculiarity, I love the case (cost me close to $1000.00 CDN). Anyone has this case? Any comments as to which power supply to use? I'm thinking of one of the Enermax 600 Watts model. I need enough power to drive 14 x 250 Gig drives and 2 DVD burners for video editing using the Matrox RT.X100 Extreme Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro NLE software. TIA |

Is it possible to rotate the plate so the power supply will fit the way you expect? BTW: $1000.00 CDN seems somewhat high based on the USD price he http://silverpcs.zoovy.com/product/PC78 . -- callsignviper The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask the right questions. |
