Yeah, that's indeed true, boredgunner.
 
But I've decided to use the P80R, which is red (inside, too - not like the uneloxated black version) and add some black components. Fits the Board-Colortheme.
 
I'll probably add some images in a build-thread after the first steps are taken, actually I have too much projects running (tank robot, ATMega-Boards, SR-2, ...).

That's indeed very weird. That case was announced and is still listed as HPTX compatible (so SR-2 compatible). I don't have it myself so I cannot tell you the inner measures, sorry..
 
I'm gonna google for some german reviews, if someone tells about non-fitting SR-2 in that case, maybe it shows the problem more detailed. Will edit and post what I find.
 
Edit: Found several picts and videos with a SR-2 in that case (not only german). I'm not sure if the user review maybe talks about the V1020...? I don't know if links are allowed, so I'll let them out right now.

Hopefully I will post some pics soon. I am waiting for a removeable motherboard tray replacment cos mine was faulty. They will send me some pan head screws cos it's not included which it should have.
 
However, do not buy larger heatsinks like DH-14 that will not fit for V2120. I have dual Armageddon heatsinks with dual fan. Will post some pics soon.

Large heat sinks like that do fit.  You just have to remove the gimmicky VGA support bracket which doesn't really have any use.  Judging by the pics that support bracket is only held into place by 4 thumbscrews.

Nope it definitely won't fit with Noctua DH-14 as it got in the way with the metal bar (where video card support) and also it won't slide in or out of the case. That's why I brought Armageddon heatsinks as they are thinnest. I will post some pics but I am waiting for the replacement.
 
However, if you want to keep the metal bar, then find the shortest heatsinks, it depend on the right size that will slide in or out of the case. For me, I just removed that bar cos my new heatsinks are very tall.

Ah damn, thanks for the info that it won't fit with the motherboard tray outside of the case.  Still not an issue really.  Most people are used to not having removable motherboard trays.  

No problem dude. As for me, I just want to slide in or out without any hassle! I don't really want to uninstall one of the bulky heatsinks, do you!

That's why my case has a motherboard that folds out the side.  When you take the side panel off behind the motherboard, the motheboard tray folds down parallel with the desk top.  That way, I can make modifications rather comfortably!  Laziness is the mother of invention!

You mean like most other Lian-Li cases?  For example:

I actually prefer having it slide out the back, this way you can install cards outside of the case.

I think Performance-PCs ships internationally so you can wait for them to get the PC-V2120.

Actually it's hinged at the bottom so that the entire motherboard tray, motherboard, backpanel and all attached cards all hinge out and down.  There is a little leg that folds out from the back of the tray to support the motherboard tray when it is now facing up, so you can work on it.  I too liked the motherboard trays that slide out the back with the backpanel and the cards.  That is why I designed this one with everything folding out together.

Good news is that I have received a replacement. I will build pc this week as will post some pics.

I looked and did not see this info. Sorry If I missed it....

Performance PC has both the Corsair 700 and 800 now modified for the SR-2...

700D and 800D

Was a good buy but now you can get the PC-V2120 for much less and it's better in just about every way.

Sorry to hear that danny.nguyen.  I know that has got to be frustrating.  Hang in there!

Hey Danny,
 
that's not good...
 
The V2120 has the same aluminium bar snapin-PSU-Holder as some TYRs, right?
 
What exactly doesn't fit there? Would interest me.. I'm more for the 4-Screw-and-happy-Method anyways. ;)

Yea, as you can read a bit earlier in the thread I chose the P80R.. It has to get some modification - but at least then it fits well. And IMHO its even better than the V2120 - but thats a matter of taste (the "OnTop-Airvent isnt everyones thing.. I guess..).
 
I seriously wonder why the V2120 has such problems, even as it was announced (and is) as HPTX Capable.. my dislikements were more based around the "functions" and "new stuff" but if it doesn't even fit the SR-2 officially without bigger modifications that seriously sucks..
 
Btw, what was with your tray? Wrong color? Had you ordered the total-black V2120?

owh.. yea I can understand that.. Must be really annoying. :(
 
About the color: Normally they should ask you exactly which color you need.. No idea how that mistake could happen..
 
They're still a very very good company but I don't feel well with their actual line of "improvements".. Lian Li was never a shiny, funky, modern PC Case for gamers, you know. It was slight, elegant, noble, timeless...
 
somehow this gets lost by too much "advantages" and "modern features". And I still don't get why a HPTX-Case doesn't fit the SR-2 like it is default-wise. Weird world..
 
Anyways, you'll find a case which fits you and which you want to keep, I'm sure. :)

Yeah the PC-P80 is 390mm long.  I would have preferred to see ≥ 400mm for the PC-V2120 as well.
