Lian-Li PC-60 question

How big is that space?

Would it be big enough to drill out wholes for a 120mm fan? I really have my mind set on that case but my rear radiator wouldn't fit on that 80mm spot.

A 120mm fan wouldnt fit. You need to get your self the PLUS series, those have a 120mm fans.

Well, I really wanted a PC60B Plus II, but it has a 80mm fan in the rear. Which Lian-li mid towers have 120mm fan in the back? (I dont like the v1xxx type)

It appears the PC-101 does, but no one makes a side window for that case :(

Yes, I would have to drill holes for it. I'd like someone who has a PC60 to measure that space, haha.

I've had both revisions of the PC-60. There is most certainly not enough room there to fit a 120mm fan. The original PC-60 (with two 80mm fans in front) has enough space below the existing fan to fit another 80mm fan; the placement of the fan in the PC-60 Plus (with a 120mm fan in the front) is slightly lower and there isn't enough room for a new 80mm fanhole below, without modifying the original fanhole.

Get your self a PC-7B Plus II, it has a 120mm fan in the back and in the front.

Is there anywhere I can get a PC-7B Plus II with a window in it? xoxide and newegg don't sell them with a window or window kit.

[Restorer]

How about this?

They also sell extra side panels in case you want to be able to switch between windowed and non-windowed.

Sweet thanks, I'll check it out.

What does the opition, cut 120mm blow hole do?

I know they'll cut a 120mm hole, but do they do a good job or what?

I just ordered a PC60B Plus II W. I was going to go with the cheaper PC7B Plus II mentioned above, but I really wanted the removable motherboard feature so I went with the PC60. In doing so I sacrificed that rear 120mm, another feature I wanted.

I wish Lian Li made a case with both features in my budget range. It would be awesome if we could buy a PC60 Plus II that came with four 120mm fans... one in bottom front, one in side PCI area, one in rear, and one up top. As it is, I'll be modifying my new case (is it considered blashphemy to hack up a Lian-Li? Like modifying a Ferrari?) for a 120mm top fan instead of the stock 80mm unit, and at that point I'll be able to see if I can mod a 120mm into the rear, or perhaps a second 80mm if a 120 wont fit. I'll know in two days.

Ask and you shall receive.

You can also order it with a 120mm blowhole option or some interior lighting.

Edit: I'm retarded.

Heres (http://www.silverpcs.com/product_info.php?products_id=454&osCsid=11b2a1767fe6d927a1b86c544e6938e9) a PC 7 from Silver PCs

and they also stock the window (http://www.silverpcs.com/product_info.php?products_id=239&osCsid=11b2a1767fe6d927a1b86c544e6938e9) for like 30 dollars

[Wayward_Son]

Ooooh, nice price on that one.

[Rysjimmy1994]

I know... Check out the price on the V1000

Theres one of the cases WITH a hole for a rad AND a window in classies for 72 :D

[PrometheuSBoxeR]

Since no one has actually measured it and given you a accurate amount, I currently own that case and will measure it for you when I get home. However, owning this case for almost 2 years now. I wouldn't hold my breath on it fitting, it will probably not support a 120mm fan.

[Wayward_Son]

It will NOT support a rear 120mm. You could mod it to the outside of the case, but why do that to a Lian-Li? However, with a little drilling and cutting you could fir a 92mm, and a little more work would give you two rear 80mm fans, but it will be tight.

I just bought a PC-7B from performance-pcs. So, all is good. ;)
