"S" on the mb tray means that those holes are meant for SSI motherboard...lookslike SR-2 may fit because it will require 7cm more space...what do you think ?? (HDD cages are removable)

Just heads up i just picked up a Lian Li PC-V2120X for 399 at new egg..
From what I understand the promo is over the 19th.. Not sure if thats the 19th at 23:59 or 00:00:00 much less which timezone.
 
The promo code is on the page but LIANNEWYEAR20 is the code..
 
PC-V2120B is also apart of that promo (black with silver inside), PC-V2120X is the all black one..
 
Wasnt actually planing on starting my build yet but i couldnt pass up $100 off.. guess I need to do is start buying the rest..

You won't regret it. Remove the one front 140mm fan and installation of the SR-2 is a snap. The only problem I have had with the V2120 is that  UPS put a hole in the shipping box and there's a slight scratch on the left side of the case (which I didn't notice until I put everything together a few weeks later). I've been trying to get a price from Lian Li on a new side, but you know how responsive THEY are.

Hi All,
I am building a new SR-2 rig for heavy server purposes and just need some advice on my proposed build.  This will primarily be used for server purposes (Hyper-V Server with serveral virtual machines - File Server, Mail Server, Webhosting server, virtual Win 7 box, & Unbutu box).  I chose the SR-2 as it had the most amount of PCI-E slots for expandability, and its a monster!  I need  most the PCI-E slots for NICs for the VMs.
 
Ok, here's what I settled on so far with my questions in parantheses ():
 
Lian Li PC-P80 case
EVGA SR-2
2 x Intel Xeon E5620 Westmere
ATI FirePro V7800
8 x Patriot Viper II Sector 7 4GB PC3-12800 1600Mhz (is this good ram?)
2 x CORSAIR CWCH50-1 Cooler (or should I use the CWCH70? will either fit in the case?)
PERC6II RAID Controller
RAID 6 config with 6 500GB Hard Drives (15000rpm)
Corsair AX1200 power supply (any other recommendations for a better power supply????)
 
I'd love to hear any feedback on my build and answers to my questions before I bite the bullet.  Thanks in advance!

Also, anyone know if the PCI-E x16 slots on the SR-2 compatible with PCI-E x4 cards?

You can put any size PCI-E (x1, x4, x8, x16) in any of the slots.

No way....

I dunno to be honest,as the HAF-X is already an XL-ATX certified case so it has the ability to use all the PCI-e slots that the SR-2 has as both the XL-ATX Quad SLI X58 classified and the HPTX SR-2 have the same height,and has enough depth for an E-ATX board(13.5 inch depth)...
 
However, the SR-2 is 15 inches deep,so it's really that last 1.5 inches beyond the E-ATX standard that might or might not screw things up,but if you look at the SR-2 board,the only higher profile part at the end is the actual ATX power connector....The rest sits lower on the board like the C-MOS battery and jumpers.
 
Either way, even if it doesn't quite fit,there's less modifications to be done on the HAF-X to make everything fit than modding a corsair 700D or 800D with a mountain mods HPTX tray,or any other solution we've seen in this thread involving other cases....Worst comes to worst,get a mountain mods pinnacle 24 with the HPTX motherboard tray for 300$ and that's taken care of(100~150$ more with extra options,such as windows,better finishes and more fan openings). 

Awsome case and great price.....Crossing fingers for availability soon

For those who haven't seen. (It's a case.)

 
IMHO that case looks very cheap and therefore not worthy of an SR-2.
 

Anyone know if the old nice Coolermaster ATC-110 can take this board or with some modication inside case?

Definitely not if you plan on keeping the power supply mounted there. You would also need to remove all of the drive bays.

Would the board fit in a Lian Li PC-A77 chassi?
