Lian Li Launches the V3000 PLUS Case Offering Endless Possibilities

[btarunr]

LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, announces the V3000 PLUS, a modular full tower that can be configured to 3 different modes. Standard mode fits EEB motherboards with a total of 3x 480 mm radiators and 16x storage drives. Rotated mode, the motherboard tray is rotated 90 degrees, maintains the same radiator support, and upright GPU installation. Dual System mode fits the main system with support for up to EEB motherboards, and a secondary with Mini-ITX. The V3000 PLUS is available in black, and in January also in white, at an MSRP of $499.99.

The V3000 PLUS is compatible with EEB motherboards, up to 16x 120 mm fans, 480 mm radiators at the top, front and on the side of the PSU shroud, and a 360 mm radiator above it. A removable top radiator bracket, removable side PSU shroud radiator bracket, and multi-position front radiator bracket ensure easy and safe installation of all the cooling hardware. Even the motherboard tray can be removed for the installation of the main components outside of the case.



Mode 2 - Rotated Mode
In rotated mode, the motherboard tray is installed with the rear I/O located at the PSU shroud, with a pass-through channel for the ports to the rear of the case. Maintaining the same cooling support as in Standard mode, upright GPU mounting is also supported for a tower-like look. This mode allows for a unique PC look and direct ventilation of the GPU from the front panel, ensuring optimal thermal performance.

Mode 3 - Dual System Mode
With the motherboard tray elevated, two systems can be installed in the main chamber of the V3000 PLUS. Up to EEB motherboards on the system 1 tray, and a Mini-ITX motherboard above the PSU shroud. In this configuration, up to 11x 120 mm fans, 2x 480 mm radiators (top and front), and up to a 280 mm radiator (above PSU shroud) can be installed. The rear panel's PSU mounting bracket can be replaced by a dual PSU for ATX and SFX mounting compatibility. The same bracket can support a vertical GPU mounted in the PSU shroud compartment with direct air intake from the side mesh panel.

Extreme Storage
The V3000 PLUS is an ideal solution for data storage with support for up to 16 SSDs/HDDs. Inside the PSU shroud, 2 adjustable drive cages hold 4x HDDs/SSDs each. In the main chamber, up to 4 SSDs can be mounted. Alternatively, the mounting brackets can be removed and the PSU shroud drive cages can be relocated beside the motherboard. And behind the motherboard tray, 4 toolless SSD mounting trays are also available for additional storage.

Additional Accessories
The drive cages can be upgraded with hot-swap drive modules. Each backplate supports 2 drives, with a maximum of 4 hot-swap drive modules supported. For a vertical GPU solution while in Standard mode, a 200 mm riser cable (90-degree to 180-degree connection) additional accessory is available. In the dual system, the second system's GPU in the dual system mode, users can mount their GPU in the PSU shroud compartment with an additional 240 mm riser cable (90-degree to 90-degree connection) accessory.

The V3000 PLUS is available for pre-order starting November 18th, 2022. A white version of the V3000 PLUS will be available in January 2023.

This is a nice case, you could showcase anything in that case

 

[ymdhis]

I'm sure some kid who builds $10k water cooled rigs out of his hard earned allowance will love this, but the only thing I see is how much wasted space is there on this thing.

 

[maxfly]

Finally, Lian li builds another proper water cooling case.

 

[JATownes]

I absolutely love this case! Enough room for dual loops and dual systems! There has been a trend to SFF rigs lately, and don't get me wrong I love them, but I'm still a fan of giant watercooled workstation beasts!

I've been looking to replace my O11-XL next year, and this just might be the one!

 

[bonehead123]

Sooooo many options, soooo many $$ too though, hehehehehe.....

Now if they had only made this look like something other than yet ANUTHA (albeit a larger version of), same ole same same rectangular boxen of yesteryear, then it would probably be a little moar appealing, but as it is, meh

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

I've been waiting 2 years for this to finally hit. I shudder at what it will cost, or weigh, but maybe I'll get my dual 480mm setup yet.

 

[Hattu]

Nice. 550€ for a PC case...

There's 'baut 500€ to invest in ssd's and stuff and not to buy this case...

Speak for yourself. I have an TR 5975WX system with 512GB of RAM, a pair of a6000s, 8x u.2 NVME SSDs and a connectx-5 sitting in it. I would love to have more room to run quick disconnects to the GPUs and CPU.

Word. Im looking at this case to build a dual hard line loop system with two tall tank reservoirs. But god damn $499 for a case.

 

[InVasMani]

Amazing case, but what a hard no on price.

Sounds overkill. What exactly do you do with that?

 

[thegnome]

This looks like a worthy succesor for CaseLabs cases...

my define s cost 1/4 the price, womes with a winsdow, and is just as well-designed for water cooling installs

Considering that it fits two systems and how much those systems will cost at the very minimum then 500 is not unreasonable.
CM, InWin and Phanteks have produced cases that approach or exceed 1000 for way less features and size.

Reading the news i was actually surprised at the price as considering the options, tooling etc i expected this to cost four figures.

 

[Broken Processor]

Nice case plenty of features, the price is inline with what I expected but the quality of the coating on my lancool 2 mesh and o11 Evo makes me pause and reconsider my previous objections to the haf700 Evo.

 

[MentalAcetylide]

Sounds overkill. What exactly do you do with that?

There are a number of things you can do with it. I also have a TR system with an RTX A6000 + Kingpin RTX 3090 and I use the system for both 3D rendering & gaming. Some people do actually need systems like that, whether it be for a hobby, work, or both, if they want the necessary performance to get things done in a timely fashion.

 

[Σario]

Sounds overkill. What exactly do you do with that?

Main workstation. Every company has it's own VM(s), and I segregate tasks by VMs. All my charts for example are on their own VM as trading view is a CPU hog. the A6000's are because I have have them for quadro view, which also means the host OS is Windows which sucks. I do run small test analytics on the box itself, but the rest just gets sent out to the cluster. I really want to swap the connectx-5 out for a DPU and switch from ROCE to NVMEoF.

Also fun fact:
The ASUS WRX80 board is dogshit and complains when you populate it with large amounts of RAM, resulting in a black screen for extended periods of time upon boot, not like a real enterprise grade board. In addition, trying to do PCI-E "RAID" on this is a headache, as it's just like a consumer style board. I switched to the Gigabyte MC62-G40 and it is vastly superior.

I would agree if all you need is a max of 8 fans and only need an ATX sized motherboard, but for anything more/bigger you would need a case like this; especially if you want to install 2 systems inside the same case.

There must be some unresolved issues with these kinds of boards and/or Windows. I have one of the MSI TRX40 boards with 128Gb RAM(8x16) installed and like only 96 Gb is reported in Windows10 Pro/Task Manager, but CPU-Z reports everything is fine & functioning.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Very nice case, big and roomy.

 

[thesmokingman]

Lmao $499.99... that 1c totally makes it ok.

 

[ypsylon]

TL;DR version: shut up and take my money!

I thought LL banished V3000+ to endless prototyping, but when LanCool 216 was unveiled 2 weeks ago I kept my finger crossed that V3000+ is not too far behind. Sweet!

 

[Waldorf]

lol, nope.
500$ and still stuck at 120mm fans like 15y ago.
other brands have large case, Tt even offers stackable stuff for same/less without forcing all fans to be 120.

So you define the quality of the case by the size of the fans that can be mounted there?
Then im sure cases that use 200mm fans are the best?

Case makers should design around airflow instead of looks, so yeah fans larger than 120mm are better fro cases.
