[joelthezombie15]

Well? are they worth the money? How are they at watercooling? are they anything like caselabs?

Thanks.

I thought it was too thin until I just realized it was very tall. It looks nice but it comes with a high price tag. idk

So you dont have any experience with it?

No I just gave you my opinion. Now I'm interested in it too because I'm currently saving up for my first build

I got at the moment Little Devil's PC-V10 with phase change integrated into it.

Its not really PC-V8 but its big brother, also mine is older version also that didnt have ssd mounts and some cable management holes behind motherboard tray and bottom compartment.

 

Without phase change my case can fit :

TOP 480mm Rad

Bottom Dual 480mm or 600mm rad, if rad is 600 then psu would position just top of the radiator with 1cm of spacing.

Bottom can fit also 560mm rad but will require buying turned psu plate since 560mm rad wont fit below psu, then second rad can be max 420mm.

 

Quality of cases is good and they are strong, they are made of thick aluminium, there is some improvements in newer models like screwless sidepanel, more ssd mounts and better cable management holes.

 

I do also have CaseLabs Magnum STH10 but i cannot say witch is better, i like bowth of them.

 

If you want ask anything about the case just post here and ill answer.

So i didnt follow perfectly. how many rads can i fit at once? 

 

like 2 480 in the bottom 1 512 in the top like that. (Yes i made up numbers)

 

How difficult is the case to build in?

 

what is phase changer?

2 x 480mm rad in bottom and one 480mm at top, so overall 3 x 480mm rads will fit easy.

Case is easy to build into but sidepanel is attacked with 10 screws so its sometimes pain to get sidepanel on, i think there is also version of the case with quick detatch sidepanels, when case is loaded with hardware it will weight alot and it is huge.

If you want easy to detach sidepanels you should get Caselabs case, they usually can fit 3 x 480mm rads if you pickup case like Caselabs STH10.

 

Phase Change is cooler that uses pretty much same way cooling processors as refirigerators use to cool food or air-conditioners use to cool room temperature.

do u have to drill holes in it yourself for fans?

[brownninja97]

I do believe Maxishine has the case. He has a youtube vid of it somewhere and im sure its on his forum as well.

[everything count to life]

This is a old thread he donesn't want a little devil anymore :P

On the pictures I've seen they were already drilled, so this would surprise me.

For a great build log in a LD case, see here.

That should give a pretty good impression of the case.

Ah well then... :D

Yeah it is rather lengthy. That's why I like having build logs with a table of contents,

makes it much easier to browse through if you're late to the party.

His build log was actually what got me to go for an SR-2 as well. I just have a general

weakness for multi-socket boards. I could have gone for a single socket 2011 build instead

for quite a bit less money and bought another GPU for computing (that's what I will

mainly be using my next rig for).

As for the LD cases, I must admit that I love the new V7 case and if I could afford another

build at the moment I think it would probably be something in that.
