That SATA card has a faster processor speed than my PC! The lian li, WOW, i'm a big lian fanboy, but that case is pushing it to the next level!
This case is awesome, and I'm considering to buy it for a fileserver. This is the first nice and affordable case I have seen that has room for 16+ harddrives, which is exactly what I need. However, the problem is that it has a normal ATX form factor, and my motherboard is E-ATX. I have a Tyan Thunder K8SE. Does anybody have a clue if it's possible to fit this motherbord in this case somehow?
Dual Compressor, cascade loop for -100 on the cpu and a triple BIS (Stealth) for a dual videaocard loop plus another smaller loop to cool everything else.

Your motherboard is 12 x 13" and it fits into the Cube, and you can get a modul to the cube to do it to an E-ATX kabinett
I'm roughly in the same boat; I have a Tyan Thunder K8WE (E-ATX) which I use as a media server with about a dozen drives in a Lian Li PC-V2000. Only problem is, the HDD compartment in that case doesn't really have sufficient cooling for that many drives in such a confined area. This case looks almost perfect... apart from the whole ATX only thing Looking at the dimensions, I don't see a 12x13 fitting in there. (Unless I've made a mistake, in which case, time to crack the cheque book out ) If it doesn't support E-ATX, which is what I'm guessing, this doesn't make much sense as a product - surely the server/workstation market is where this is aimed? I mean you could fit over 20 HDD's in that case, but whats the point when you can only fit a motherboard which doesn't have the bus/expansion slots to support high end (8-16+ port) SATA/SAS/SCSI controller/RAID cards which require PCI-X etc (normally found on E-ATX boards.)
