Lian-Li V880
Desktop ATX Enclosure
The case
comes with everything you would expect. Lian-Li takes it a step further
with the inclusion of a tool for the MB offset screws, drive brackets to mount a
3.5 in the extra 5.25 bay, and some cable management supplies. The big
bracket is needed for the PS install.
I mounted
an extra drive using the brackets here to show how they are used. With the
two vertical bays, I ended up not needing the brackets for this install.
Next I
mounted the power supply in the bracket as shown here. It is pretty
important to note your toggle switch should be in the on position as this is the
last time you will have access to it.
Next I
mounted the motherboard. This picture gives a good view of the space
available and also the second Vertical 3.5 bay. If you are following
along, It was at this point I realized I could no longer get to the screws for
removing the 5.25 drive chassis. So out comes the power supply!
The drive
chassis is held in place by two screws on top and four screws on the bottom.
Even with the power supply removed, the back two screws required a bit extension
to get at. The Lian-Li puzzle is finally cracked!
To install
your CD unit, the bay cover must be removed. With the drive installed but
not tightened down, remount the bay cover and align the drive to achieve a good
match with the external eject button. The addition of the bay covers is a nice
bonus, they keep the finished install looking clean and shiny.
Next I
installed the Seagate drive in the front vertical bay. The instruction
sheet only shows the 5.25 install using the optional rails, so some trial and
error was needed here. Two of the mounting screws are used on each side,
then the drive slides into the grey mounting rails. The sliders shown her
lock the drive in place.
Here is a
closer look at one of the rails. In order for the drives to slide in, the
screws have to be tightened just the right amount. With the rail removed,
it was pretty easy to set the screws up at the correct height.
