All the good bits of the PC-A16 without all the lesser bits.

I really like the looks of that. I 'm liking Lian-Li's new website too.

Reality|Bites · 26 Jan 2008 at 15:03

I want one now! Seriously this is the first Lian Li case I actually like!

I'm liking this case as well, not sure whats the difference between this and the A16.

A mini dust filter on each blanking plate; and the hard drive cage in the A16 had a single front but the A17 has individual blanking plate from top to bottom.

Hmm, i like this Lian Li too. Strange . . . Ive always thought them too plain. Depending on the price . . .

Lian Li's designer has design the chassis from user's point of view. It has to be easy to access, easy to operate, solid as rock, and look stylish! It has to be pass a lot of test before launch to the market.

In other words, it will be months before release yet

EDIT: Never mind. seen it for sale (Pre-release end feb). Whats the diff between the A and B? The colour?

Already available for pre-order in the UK for 85 knicker.

Tempting for a silver if I didn't already have a V1000 II+ =)

Curunen · 26 Jan 2008 at 22:39

That looks nice. I think I'll be upgrading from my eclipse to this for some much needed 5.25 bays.

Reality|Bites · 26 Jan 2008 at 22:56

Does it come with the three fans in the front or do you have to buy extra hdd bays?

steveo · 26 Jan 2008 at 23:04

have to say that does look very nice but am keeping my lian li v2000+

Biohazard · 26 Jan 2008 at 23:35

Thats nice, still think I want to order a PC7 though

Arcane · 29 Jan 2008 at 09:54

I've got the A16, I think i'd get this instead if I was on the look out for something new though, it's a nice case but pretty cramped with Watercooling gear inside.

artaxerxes · 29 Jan 2008 at 10:18

I really wanted to A16 when it came out but retailers where gouging, so I got a V1000 II+ cheap instead. The A17 would definitley be the case I would buy today.. cheaper than a V1000 II+, and half the price I was quoted for the first A16 to enter the country!

neil_g · 29 Jan 2008 at 11:47

nice. but £90 from a competiter... hmm.

This case would be great if it had a door, I'd buy it in a tick. Anyone know of a case with a similar layout but with a door?

repton · 7 Feb 2008 at 10:32

Lian Li's cases are of such high build quality. Only realised how cheap and lightweight my NZXT LEXA was when my V-2100+ arrived!

That's exactly what I'm looking for.
