Damn, those are nice trucks and awesome stands! Care to share a linky? I could really be doing with a couple of stands for my cars too

@ mars: Welcome to the A05 club buddy! It's awesome, isn't it?

 

Just bought a pair of Avenir Arran 36s, an airzound, and a bike trailer (-come-sack-barrow-plus-D-lock-to-make-a-ghetto-trailer)

 

Sure thing:

They are really nice stands actually, have a magnetic strip for screws & a little tool holder on the other side, plus the table rotates/ locks into place. Should be good for most trucks really ( my TXT-1 on the left is ~7Kgs/15lbs, the GorillaMaxx is ~6Kgs/13lbs ). My website ( incase anyone wants to oggle my shizz ):

Haven't got it yet Get it Monday, I can't wait, getting sick of having a PC set up on my desk. Chose it because even though I sold my ITX rig, I still have a soft spot for small PC's.

 

AO5 is the best case evar. Unicorn nabbed mine.

 

Cheers! I have a 1/10th and a 1/8th touring car, so they should be fine

Yup, well you're not going to be disappointed Oh and I'm putting that H55N to good use as of about Tuesday

That I did! But one wasn't enough so I nabbed another

 

Shame the top panel with the fan for the A05 are so hard to find.

 

No they're not.

 

I'm definitely looking at getting a small Lian Li for my next build (purely hypothetical at the moment though, i've got no need to upgrade). I was considering the A05 but then I saw the A04 which has more hard drives, more fans, and a more layout which IMO = win. Only M-Atx but that wouldn't be a problem for me.

Any of your views would be great as i've been trying to compare the two.

 

My modding skills are lacking unfornately.

 

I looked at the A04 as well, but the lure of a full ATX in that small a case was to great. I caved and got the A05, which is unfortunately still sitting in a box under my desk, instead of on top of it. I would look at the A04 if I wanted to do a fileserver perhaps, but not for a full blown gaming rig. It's also usually about $20 more than the A05, only 2 etailers in the US that I know of stock it.

 

There's a new A05 being released sometime this year and the airflow is being reversed (front to back instead of back to front). Plus there will be a fan hole on the top as well!!!

Check this thread from [H]ardocp, has something of a cult following there.

When I did mine, my dremel packed up, so I just took it to a local sheet metal worker.

£10 and tin of biscuits later (the price was only actually a tenner, but hey) it was cut.

MAN UP AND GET IT CUT MAN.

 

YES BOSS!

 

Source?

That does sound good, but it'll mean there's even less difference between the A04 and A05. It may only be the motherboard form factor, hard drive bays and outside design that differs. Quite frankly I prefer the looks of the A04 anyway.

 

Saw it on the xtremesystems forum.
