Here are a couple of pics of my system atm. Im using a temporary build for the time, until my motherboard gets back from a warranty repair! (I killed it along with an i7 when trying to hit 4ghz

) My worklog features everything ive been up to!

EDIT: I have now completed my initial build!! All that is left is my Watercooling setup!!



And the inside! I really feel these pics are a great example of how good a system in one of these cases can look with a little bit of effort!!!



Full details of my build can be found in my worklog just down below in my sig

Nice start Thar!

Something I just noticed from a picture I have of the box, they are calling this case the new generation PC case, not so sure it's true but it's close.

PS, don't mind the cat in this picture, that's kramer, he helped me build this thing.

 

[Raiden911]

Thx for the start Thar!

Here's mine, Cheers to all of us Lian Li Lancool 0wners (get your own drink, I aint sharing mine).

Definitely New Gen!! No doubt about it! If other manufactures don't pick up on a pre-painted interior with these amazing tool-less + cable management features, they wont be making the right business choices!!

Lol though I didn't notice the cat until you mentioned it

. What a kitteehhhh!!!

No worries mate!! Got my beer right here!!!

I hope you guys upload some pics of your systems as well

!! Thats kinda what I meant by takin a pic!!

 

[Aaron_Henderson]

Looks like a sweet case. Can't wait to see some pictures.

 

[kev_b]

Here's a link to some Photos of mine.

ah...thx for the pics. Wished everything was black, black mobo, Megashadow, etc.

Love how tight and the cable management is. Were the cable clips in the case useless?

If you don't hide the wires on the back of the motherboard tray the cable clips are handy.

Dude, I saw the original pics you posted a little while ago but these ones kick arse!! Really nice lot of pics!!

We need to attract more people to the super awesomeness of this case

. All it takes is a little bit of encouragement with some unreal pics like you've supplied man!

Hi everyone,
I'm ordering this case and was looking for a mobo for my x58 build. I know it doesn't officially support eATX boards but any idea if a Classified will fit in here?

Hey mate! From what ive researched, It will fit in the case fine since the screw points are the same as an ATX mobo in 9/10 of the locations! The smaller boxes also indicate where the sata inputs are! The EVGA mobo does make it a bit annoying to use the cable management holes! Just thought id include this little bit of info so you can really plan this out!

Ive put a pic here of an:
ATX -> In blue
eATX -> In red

Hope this helps ya!!

I guess when ever somebody decides to sell parts for the lancool cases there would be more choices, their web sites shows 2 windows that can be used on this case, myself I like the wider window just to show off more of the inside. I also seen this esata bay device that I would imaging wouldn't take much to mod into a matching fan controller.

 

[kev_b]

I didn't realize this before until I was looking at one of my pictures, the case is vented at the bottom for the PSU that I thought was just for the standard size PSU but it looks like it will also vent the larger Corsair HX1000W PSU which I don't think too many other cases are set up for.

Yeh its great isnt it. I was worried about my psu not getting max airflow coming in, so i tipped the case upside down and found that it matched up perfectly!!

 

[honk_honk]

Thinking ahead to future upgrades and was wondering what type of radiator would fit on the top of this case? A double or triple rad?

This is something I have been spending alot of time thinking about mate!!

If you dont want to cut the case, you could fit a double and triple over the top of the case, but I would use a radbox or a koolance rear bracket mount so that the radiator is extremely stable and safe! I will be using one of these brackets for my system because they are so easy and accessible.

If you did want to cut some of the top plastic, a double will fit perfectly. The case has 2 holes behind the top case fans as well that are conveniently positioned for inlet/outlet, that will save some drilling. You would have to use some angled connectors however!

The pics attached show double + triple rads on top of the case:
Blue = Double
Red = Triple
Green = Triple hanging off the back to put tubes through rear openings



These pics show the top cover off and the 2 holes @ on the top of the case towards the rear I was talking about:



Hope this helps ya mate!

Hey Thar,
Thanks for the reply. Now if only this case would get in stock! Argh

EDIT: BTW your build is looking mighty awesome in the other thread
