This isn't my system, but one that was posted on a local forum I go to. I thought I would share.

and, its BTX!!! Nice

[pain_inbutt]

Now you all know what to get me for my birthday coming up in December :)


That should give ya all time to build it :)

[ThRoNkA]

BTX? You mean ATX? :shrugs:

BTX? You mean ATX? :shrugs:

Nah, BTX. Look at where the ports are on the back.

That is one sweet looking case ( and system ).

Any info on that case?

[Win2Kuser]

BTX

I didn't think we'd start seeing BTX systems until early next year, nice!

BTX - The basics (http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=1876&p=2)

[poopeyhed2]

That's an ATX case. It's a Lian Li V-1000 case. It's an incredible case.

[ThRoNkA]

Its not BTX:

see? Thats ATX.

[serlv ( Zippy )]

See how the board mounts from the right, the mobo mounts from the right The mobo is upside down.

[poopeyhed2]

It's just how the case is designed - http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/M_V_C_PC-V1000.htm

Came out about 2 years ago.

Ok, you are right. On further research I see what the bastages have done. What threw me was that Lian-Li has designed the case for everything to be mounted upside down and backwards in a semi-BTX manner. Almost a hybrid. But technically not aTX, but certainly not you're standard BTX.

lol (all I knew was that it wasn't ATX) - Thronka, adjust your glasses :D

[PresterJohn]

yeah, as poopey said, the atx/btx confusion is because of the layout.

i was thinking about buying one a while back being a previous owner of their model 60 case, but i *hated* the way the hd bays are mounted in this one. they are at the bottom of the case and you need to purchase a rather long ide cable to snake it thru that ovaloid (did i just make up a new word? :) ) hole that you see in the pics.

the case actually looks rather nice in the photo...most of the case pics on for sale websites aren't very flattering. still...i don't like the internal layout of the case especially when you in the price (the coolermaster stacker is cheaper).

I know SATA cables are small enough to shimmy through. I wish I had that case.

[poopeyhed2]

I've reviewed the PC-1000 and the big brother 2000. The 1000 I liked alot, it was small and compact. The hole to feed the cables in were big enough, but the 2000, because it was much higher and the IDE ports because of the orientation were way at the top I had to flip the drive upside down. I understand that you use RAID IDE alot, and with the direction of it, it will be a PITA reaching/snaking it down there if you don't have 36" cables. SATA definitely makes it down there w/o a problem. The compartment for the PSU doesn't have much air intake for it, since there's very little clearance. I also had a problem installing the I ThermalRight SP-97 into it because of the oversized heatsink, where it got stuck at the metal right above the PSU area.
