Lian-Li V880
Desktop ATX Enclosure

The
PC-V880 uses a sliding lock, shown here, to hold the lid tightly in place.

Inside we
find the majority of the differences between a typical desktop design or HTPC
and the Lian-Li design. From the left we have a vertical 3.5 bay,
two external 5.25 Bays with CD bay covers, sandwiched between is another
5,25 internal bay, and at right the power supply bay. Another vertical 3.5 bay
is located in the back. Under the PS mounts, you will see the cabling for
each of the front panel functions and a PC speaker.

The Install:
For this
install I used an older Chaintech motherboard I have been using as a media
server, model unknown. The install also includes an AMD 2800+, a Seagate
80 gig drive, a Memorex CD-RW, a Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS, and an Abit FX5200.
As this is my first attempt at a designated HTPC, I will be using this built as
a base for some much needed upgrades.

As much as
I love Lian-Li, I have to show this one sheet provided for an installation
guide. I know its the same case, but there is no mention of many of the
features and steps required to complete the install. In this case the
camera is not at fault, the instructions really are so faded they are blurry to
read. I will try to step you through it.
