I really think Lian Li cases (except the V series) are overated.

Wanting something with better cooling then an Eclipse which I always use for builds, I went for the A70B when it was around the 170 quid mark.

- The insides are sharp - side of drive bays, support bars

- The front door is a joke, noticed when I put it back on after build, that it makes a metallic squeaking noise (I checked to see if I broke any of the pins that connect it to the door). What's worse is this translates into noise, as the cddrive when it spins up can cause the front panel to get noisy.

- Side panels a bit flimsy..I think the Eclipses were better, and they vibrate, a lot.

Pound for pound I think the Akasa Eclipse was miles better in every aspect except possibly cooling. I'll probably go back to it for this sli build, and get the akasa sidepanel with fan.
