Little Devil PC-V8

Posted

Pros: Lots of space, easy WC, very light despite size

Cons: TOO MANY SCREWS, could be made to look a little nicer

I've been using the LD Case for about 6 months now, and I've been extremely happy with it. You could easily fit 3 480 MM rads inside this massive case, (2 on the bottom which might need a little ingenuity as they come with mounts for 360 rads) and one up top, providing you with enough rad to cool anything. Should you need (seriously?) more, you can install up to 3 additional 120mm rads (2 up front by removing the hdd tray and one beneath the MB). The motherboard tray has all the needed routing holes and screws to fit most motherboard sizes and leaves little to be desired when it comes to cable cleanliness. On the back side of the motherboard tray is a mounting point for an SSD to keep you HDD bays open for other drives.

While the case impresses me with its size, it's design keeps me unsatisfied. I understand it's meant to be a utilitarian case for hardcore liquid cool/phase change enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't like at least a little bit of flair. The plain box design with simple grills all about is not exactly the most appealing thing I've ever seen.

Due to the case being made entirely of aluminium (at least I believe it is), the LD case is deceptively light. Sadly, one of the biggest issues with the case lies with its' accessibility: to access your computers innards requires removing around 16 screws per side for the top half. This could easily be remedied b providing users with thumbscrews.

At nearly 500 euros, the case is by no means cheap; then again anyone buying a case like this is clearly not too worried about their budget.

Overall, I would definitely reccomend this case to anyone looking for a case built for serious LC or phase change with it's ample space, light weight, and easy cable routing solutions.

Pros: The amount of space, Build quality, RAD options.

Cons: Hard to move, price, fiddly side panels.

When this case arrived it was very well packaged and despite the size it is light. The quality of the case is great, very well build and it really feels it. When I came to build the rig the amount of space in this case is almost unbelievable, it makes my RIIIE look small, my 2 QUAD RADs fit easily into it. The great amount of space continuers around the back of the motherboard tray which is removable, the cable routeing is very good and there is enough space to fit a ½” tube around the back like I have meaning you can have a neat and tidy waterloop. The HDD bay is very easy to use and works well, there is enough space for my HDD and my D5 with a top, the bay is removable and so is the 5.25” drive bays. Some of the bad point are it is hard to move around and the side panels can be fiddly to get off because the screws, apart from that it is a fantastic case.
