This log is taken from a diffrent forums.

Hi all.

I recently found a new case called the lian li A05 and as im a lover of all things small i wanted it!

I have big plans for this small case, i have a reputation with fitting alot into not much room so keep an eye out!

Also i build my rigs fast so it will be over before next week is out lol.

My plans:

I have a PA120.3 AND a RS120.3 ready to be placed in this case! its going to be hard but a few things wil have to go!
HDD rack will be hacked away MWAHAHA!
PSU will be raised up 90MM to make way for the PA120.3 below.

Pics will follow when i make progress.. atm im waiting for the case to arrive

Are the fans on the bottom of the rad pulling air in or blowing out?

They are pulling air out of the case same as the top, this is the best way i found.

I will be haveing side pannel cut so that there are long vents on top and bottom for air to seep in for the rads

That's a bit tight... nice work (except for the scratch! D'oh).

Where's the HDD?

Yup that scratch is a eyesore, but from where i sit you cant see it.

I will be filling it in soon with some nice thick paint with a nice small paint brush :D

The HDD is indeed under the dvd drive :D
