Akasa Eclipse 62 or the Lian-Li PC7B ?

Hi, I have shortlisted the following two cases for my new build,Akasa Eclipse 62 & Lian-Li PC7, I know the Eclipse probably has the better air flow and friendly users ability, but love the simple well built look of the PC7 for the money, the only thing thats putting me off the Eclipse is the plastic front!! looking for something without a front door as the case will be mounted in an enclosure, also tempted with the Silverstone TJ07, but finding it hard to justify paying more than double for the above two, whats your thoughts?

I feel totally the same, I want to buy the Eclipse but for nearly £100 for a case with a plastic front is a bit O.T.T, i know the PC7 is made of very thin aluminum, but at least the front looks great, thats where you will almost always be looking at and using all the time, I think I will probably stretch and go for the TJO7 OR TJO9, to me they are both beautiful looking cases and look like they are built like a tank, they also look as if they have great room for cooling and upgrading.

If only the designers at Akaska could have put a better front on the case there would only be one choice!!

Does the mirage have the plastic front? I like the look of the Mirage a lot, I just don't know if I can live with the door on the front.

After a lot of thought and homework, I bought the Silverstone TJO9, Just received it today, what a cracker!! a lot more expensive than the Eclipse and the Pc7, but I feel the extra outlay is well worth it, great build quality, the best looking case I have seen, pure class.
