it looks like the best of lian li just got better.
I usually check the website (www.lian-li.com) to check out the latest and well today was not exception.
It seems that a v + series is on the way with ducting and better cooling techniques.

I've heard how cool the present v series is ...I can't wait to see a review on the v-plus! :thumbsup:

It's a nice looking case but they really need to hire someone who natively speaks the English language for translating what they mean. ;D ;D

no not yet ...newegg doesn't have them yet for sure.
I'm hoping that these will either replace the original v series and/or drive them cheaper!

ps: I called your house this morning and asked your wife to have you call me when you come inland ...but I got my rig started so all is well for now. I hope! :thumbsup:

OK, I'll give you a call when I get inand see how it's going. Phone reception is spotty out here too; some days it's decent and some days it just isn't going with my cell phone. Yesterday I called my wife from out on the heliport and I was getting decent reception but the wind was blowing around 30 mph. ;D ;D

There's only 2.5 changes compared to the "old" V series that i just got. The duct at the back is moved down to the psu area, the duct for the cpu and the blowfan that is going over the videocards/peripheral cards. I only see trouble with these changes actually. Try to insert/remove anything with that blowfan installed.

I'm sorry to see that they still haven't figured out to have the harddrives rails centrated at the bottom so that we can choose to have the harddrives both ways. I rather have the cables behind than in front.

Yes while the changes are minimal it's difficult to say which ones work and which ones don't without having both samples at hand however ...it is my intuition that you will have the changed parts available to convert your original v series to a plus. The extra components are listed as "parts" on the site and they are the 12cm blower, 12cm cpu duct, and 8cm psu duct.

Mac I think you'd be the perfect candidate to request those extra parts and do a challenge review! :thumbsup:

I have always had an appeal to the Lian-Li cases and I just purchased one that fits to all my requirements...I hope. This is a variation on the V2000 series models but is called V2000 Plus in which it adds extra cooling. I bought mine from www.monarchcomputer.com.
Here's a direct link:

This thing should be a cooling monster with the additional blower fan and CPU air duct. I'll find out very soon, I can't wait! :thumbsup:
