looking fantastic im always a big fan of front cooling its the only real decent way to spread airflow across the whole system and all its components

TheRedZealot · 10 Dec 2007 at 16:57

first one looks nice, i dont like the lump on the top of the second

They'll probably be fantastic, but i really am not liking the look of those beasts...

Both have the lump. The P60 is just a smaller version of the P80.

I am liking the look of the P60, looks like a better Antec 900.

Mr Gimp · 10 Dec 2007 at 17:50

Look crap, and they spelt "Armour" wrong

XeNoN89 · 10 Dec 2007 at 18:02

Am I the only one that thinks these look half decent then?

They do look half decent, shame it's the inside that's the decent half.

Beats the Antec 900 but not exactly pretty. Unfortunately the majority of people want crappy lights and stuck on bits so they'll have to make cases like these if they're not going to go the way of ATC.

InvaderGIR · 10 Dec 2007 at 19:40

It's a real shame as the reason I like LL is because they aren't 'chav' cases (as I like to put it).

Wow, thats really ugly - had it been a thermaltake case I wouldn't have been suprised.

Yes, that bad.

Both have the lump.

I dont click on links.

Not too bad if it's up to their usual outstanding build quality. Replace those fans with some decent silent ones (without LED's) and it might turn out as a nice server/watercooling case. Just noticed it uses 14cm fans though, which is daft proprietary nonsense.

Second thought was "DVD drives go where?". Having them behind the fans seems like a bad idea; even one is going to kill the airflow somewhat. I also don't get the top fan, seems like that would interfere with the airflow as well.

We've seen sideways Optical drives from them before... if you're going to have ugly humps why not mount the optical drives like that or at a slight vertical angle (flush with the sloping front) in there and have a solid front with 3x 12cm fans and tons of hard drive bays. Put it together well and with the interior they have here, add a few points to attach radiators....another classic.

give the first one a nice door, take away the lump on the top and no leds and it'd be rather nice

Fireskull · 10 Dec 2007 at 22:42

Me thinks one of those will be my next case.

XeNoN89 · 10 Dec 2007 at 22:46

Anybody know what price these are going to be?

misterPK · 11 Dec 2007 at 10:05

noNoNO! OI! LIAN-LI! STOP IT! You used to do nice clean minimalist classy lines, why are you going into the cheesey world of bling? Stay away from the blue fans! And now another cloned case with far too many pointless fans on the front, there's just no need....

PK!

Behemoth · 11 Dec 2007 at 10:18

To summarise what I think of these in one word, yuck!
