Better cooling the Silverstone TJ03 or the Lian-Li PC-V2000?

[imported_DanW]

So I am considering Silverstone TJ03 and the Lian-Li PC-V2000. My biggest concern with these cases is which will provide better cooling. I will probably replace the existing fans with the best fans I can find. The TJ03 offers one 120mm in front, one 80mm on top of the case, and 2 80mm out the back. The PC-V2000 offers 1 120 in the front, one 120mm and 2 80mm fans out the back. Any thoughts on which will work better?

Thanks,

DanW

I like the BTXish layout of the Lian-Li. I'd take a rear 120mm fan over two 80's any day of the week.

Cooling wise I'm with Lian li

Bump on the Lian-Li. Here is a link to a review of the case:

I move for the Lian-Li as well...

A better option for the Silverstone might be the Temjin TJ06 , with two 120's and one 80.

Lian Li. The V1000/1200/2000 series were built for cooling, BTX and the little holes all over it were designed specifically for cooling. The Temjin is just another case, for 270 bucks not worth it.

Sounds like the prevailing option goes to Lian-Li.

Does anyone know if the OCZ PowerStream power supplies will fit into the PC-V2000? I know they are a little bit long and was concerned that it might not fit.

It might be cramped in the 1000 series, but I believe the 2000 series are a little roomier.

The V1000 gives you 165mm of PSU space. If your PSU is any longer it won't fit.

Well, it looks like the power stream will not fit in the v1000, then. How much roomier is the V2000? The PowerStream Needs about 10mm more that the v1000, its 175x150x86 mm.
