Classy cases? Thing of the past?

I'm keeping my eye out now for another cm201 i think, but they are a bit old i think for them to show up on the used market too often :(

They don't come up very often, however you might be lucky. I picked up a mint condition 201 on the bay earlier this year for £17 :eek: :D
 
Love mine. Gone are the days of nice looking cases.

And as for not being able to keep a modern setup cool, anyone for stealth watercooling?

epic.

anyway, the Lian-Li PC-A70B is my next case.
 
Their classy and well designed but they are so fragile its a joke. I actually scratched a black lian li with a callous I had on my hand.

I've only had contact with the a17 and pc-7 but i'm not impressed at all.

The PC-7 is a joke quality wise. The side panel rattles like mad and can be pushed in and out even when the thumb screws are in. The brushed effect looks rubbish in certain lights, not a patch on the brushing on the eclipse. The mobo try is really thin and bendy.

Also they're really easy to scratch, mine already has a big scratch on the front.

The front is nice but the fake carbon fiber is pure fail.

Not sure what the more expensive Lian-Lis are like but the PC-7 isn't good quality at all imo. Then again its pretty cheap to buy and does look very nice.
 
Those windy cases do look the dogs don't they something must be in the works to sell in europe and usa surely ?
A lot of their range have what looks like 80mm fans though ? And i am guessing the cheapest will probably work out around £200.
