[review] Lian-Li PC-V2000B


Recommended Posts

Nice case- i've got the silver version- had mine for like 1.5years now- have made several mods to it when i placed in my watercooling kit. got a 4" LCD on the front- takes 2x5 1/2" slots and fan controller. plenty of space to work within- first when i bought it i thought not having a removable tray will be annoying-but due to the size of the case- it was alright.

i removed the back 120mm air intake-cuz it sucks (no pun intended). cut out the grill bits to have a full 120mm air exhaust. i've got my watercooling radiator on top- a 2x120mm rad- i also placed on some sound deadening on the large side panels.. :)

i was thinking of getting one few months ago- it costs about ?49 for the window panel for the full tower case.

when i bought mine - the windows version wasnt available- but since then lian li have released a few accesories for the range.

Howdy!

thermal+paste, your case looks nice! I am considering getting the 1200 from Lian Li (mid-tower version of what you've got), and I'm really beginning to realize that my cables aren't going to reach much of anything in those new positions. :| Do you have any recommendations for longer cords (power extensions, SATA, IDE, etc) that can reach all the way around? Thanks! :)

you shouldn' have any prob. at all with the 1200. depends were you power conn. is and where your ide/sata cables connect. might be a reach from the bottom left drive but not like the 2000 its double drive height 6 vs 3 on the 1200.

they make 1m and 2m sata cables i think. plus you can get rounded ide cables that are 36+ inches. the power you just have to find a extension on xoxide or something

pc power and cooling sells atx power extenders

i need one of those now because the power conn. on my mobo is on the top in this case

in the tj07 it was on the bottom

think the lian-li cases invert the mobo

just checked the 1200 is the same way inverted so your pci and whatever cards are on the top of the case and not near the bottom

most new motherboards have sata connectors that come off the side so I wouldn't worry.

if you are going for 6 sata disks get longer cables if your mobo doesn't have 6 sata connectors

you can also put sata mobile racks in the 5.25 bays.

the v2000 can hold 19 hard drives total if you remove the cd rom bezel and use mobile racks

i had to rework the wiring for the sata cables because some connectors were

cracking

ill post pics later today of what I mean

notice in picture below no sata cables were secured just let hang loose

sata connector ends started to crack so I redid wiring with an top anchor point shown here

dscn08146jm.jpg

think the ends were cracking because the sata connectors are very weak

and need to be taken care of and zip tied secure so there is no play

in the cable.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
