Lian-Li PC-V1000 Case

**MIG-31** · Dec 29, 2004, 07:24 AM

An ATX case with BTX thinking, we look at Lian-Li's latest and see if it's a suitable chassis for our readers.

If there's a few things we can count on when it comes to ATX cases is that the power supply will always be on the top rear of the case and access to the motherboard will be from the left side of the tower. There are a number of other things, but those two items are a mainstay. BTX will change how we assemble and cool PCs, which will eventually become necessary as PC components get faster and hotter. Right now however, all consumer based motherboards still follow the ATX specification as do most PC enclosures.

As you stated above about left side only, do they make cases where you have the option of either side? Would be nice if you could configure it the way u want it.
