Any one seen these?

there's no mesh underneath where the psu goes. its got rails with 1-2cm of clearance so presumably you have the psu fan pointing up? wouldn't that just blow hot air on to the gpu and mobo area?

anyway i really like the look of these.

I think PSU fans suck rather than blow

RJC · 13 Jul 2008 at 19:03

I like the look as well, wonder what the price range is!

Most PSU draw rather than blow the air.

$200 or below they are saying. given the pc-p80 is $400 and £190ish over here then it will be around £90. got holes in the back for water cooling as well.

oh the first one is the pc-7fw and the second is the pc-60f. the pc-60f is avialbe with or with out a window same as the pc-7fw.

f= no window
fw= window.

Yeah totally, I find a lot of their stuff a bit flat for my taste but the pc-7f is very , very nice.

clean cable management looks hard though....well for me any way

Tetsu · 13 Jul 2008 at 20:29

with out the window

yea, doesn't look like there are any holes in the motherboard tray to route stuff behind.

Yeah or tuck them behind or thread them through

Have to go for no side window I think.

if the inside was closer to the new pc-8 then i'd be a lot more tempted.

and knowing lian li customer services getting a pc-8 then ordering a pc-7f front would be impossible

Between the two I think I'd go for the 60f. I prefer the front and the way it maintains the pattern of rectangles rather than mixing it up with the curved fan vents of the 7f.

Shame I don't buy cases that often really, lol.

PK!

i really like the look of these, and i'm in the market for a new case. Will have to see about costings when they get here, unless anyone know where they can be found? PM me if you do

Yeah very good point and its the conclusion I came to after the initial OMG 7fw!!! from a design point of view I do think the 60f is better but I still prefer the 7f as it has a weird mix of modern and retro.

I suppose the air intake would be greater on the 60f as well?
