Sadly, OcUK dont stock these any more but luckily I know somewhere which does. But before I go and buy one I wanna here what you lot think of them.

Are they any good? And if you have pics of them please post them <3

Thanks,

Dave
 
They are great cases; quite a few people have them and have not heard anyone speak negatively about them.

Never owned one myself, but have used them a few times and they are quite nice.

All depends on the price though.
 
They are really nice cases, although not ideal if you plan to use a lot of HDs. I am running out of space for cables :p

Rubbish picture of the side

The other side where the cables are :p

They are great cases, small, light, high build quality, good cooling and quiet.
As yewen says price is important, I payed £40 for mine off the MM inc. delivery

I've previously owned a couple of Antec Super Lanboy cases (in fact I sold one of them to Raikiri which I think he seems to be very happy with).

They are quite nice cases but extremely limited on space, hence the reason for me changing to something larger. For example, in one of them I had a Tagan 480W PSU and had nowhere to route the spare cables.

If you're planning on installing lots of drives then I would say that a lanboy will be very tight on space and the lack of airflow could even lead to temperature problems if you're overclocking, particularly in the summer. Otherwise get one, you won't be disappointed.

Hope this helps :)

Thats why some of the the toolbox got cut off :p
 
Theres no doubt its a great little case for the money. Tis quite a tight fit but like raikiri said that little tool box inside the case, as handy as it may be really gets in the way if you're trying to hide cables! I didnt butcher mine though, but now it just refuses to open as its squashed against the psu cables :(

They can be found for about the same price as the Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS Silver Aluminium here
£58.16 Including VAT at 17.5%
 
I personally would take the PC7 over it, due to it being superior in my eyes.

But I am a build quality freak.

The lanboy I always imagine to be competing with Centurion 531's etc.
 
Yeah, I wouldnt pay £60 for one I would get the Lian Li. But it was available for £40 when I bought mine from Roll
 
That is the right price for one in my opinion :)

Nice little cases, but when put up against the PC7+ in its current form at that price point, there can only be one winner.

However I am unsure of which I would take out of the Lanboy and the Centurion 531. That is a very close run thing.
 
Wahoo, there back lol.

Tbh, from the pics of them ive seen they just seem really nice cases but I see what your saying about the Lian-Li cases, they are nice. Might get a lanboy for one of my systems and the Lian-LI for another.
 
i love mine to bits, and before it i had a lian-li pc65. the lack of dust filters means it can get a little dusty in there and there is a lack of space if you need a lot of cables or have a psu that seems to have more cables than you could ever possibly need (i would tell you what mine is but its been so long since ive taken it out ive forgotten its name)

but other than space if you have a bit too much hardware its great, its quiet, its light, and that tool box is pretty handy
