The PC-A10 is a fantastic case. All the little things that Lian Li does over and over again make this case stand out from the crowd. The anti-vibration mounts for the fans, drives and side panels, the removable motherboard tray, PSU tray and drive cages, as well as the tool-less design make this case a pleasure to work with.

Awesome case. One thing I wanted to add is that with a little bit of modding and using these drive bay covers you could pretty easily mount a dual 120mm radiator in the front.

pt is correct. It is the Thermalright HR-05-SLI heatsink, and I have a 70mm Masscool fan strapped to it. With the fan running at 5v it is not noticable over the other case fans, and if I need to I can crank it up to 12v. At full speed the NB idles at around 34C, at 5v it idles around 40C.

lol It's just the stock AMD sink for now. Unfortunately, due to the radiator incompatibility I can't use my watercooling loop yet. Using ether radiator I have would require some modding to the case, which I'm not ready to do at this point.

Shrug. t_ski, can you get an A05b, review it, and send it to me? :toast:

Or raffle it with 100 tickets, 99 being mine?

Yes, but this is not negative for this case IMHO!
Click to expand...

I have a double 120mm rad... I'd say it's definatly a bad thing if i can't get my watercooling setup in there.

As big as this case is, it's meant to be a case for a power user. The everyday-average Joe wouldn't have 5 HDD's, dual PSU's, etc. in their case.

What's more of a negative is the radiator incompatibility I was talking about (post above yours). The only radiator that I've found that comes close to fitting is a Swiftech MCR220 or 320. Even those rads require some kind of mod (or at least mounting the rad far above the case) for the tubing to work properly. I have not received any word on a single 120mm rad that could lay flat on top of this case and use the opening for the included 120mm fan or the tubing knockouts.

I looked at the link you gave, and I don't see anything out of the ordinary for that motherboard. It is the same size as my DFI board, and the mounting holes seem to conform to ATX standards. Is there something in particular you were worried about?

The Gigabyte site lists the motherboard dimensions as 305mm x 245mm. Using a conversion tool I get 12" x 9.6", which is the same as many motherboards I have seen, as well as the DFI Ultra-D used in the pictures above. Unless there is something I am not aware of, you should have no issues with the two together. :toast:
