Lian Li PC-7FNWB

looks sweet is it to old or a bad case cos it seems very good for its price range i cant link to ovuk as they dont have this case

but it seems really good for its price looks abit like the lancool case

Its a very high quality case, lancools are cheaper versions of lian li's, made from steel rather than aluminium.

No experience with it, but purely from an aesthetic point of view, there's too many optical bay drives on it for my liking. I've never needed more than 2 optical disc bays and choose my cases accordingly. So I would go for something like the Lian Li PC-A04B, but that's mATX / mITX so won't fit standard ATX boards.

There's 290mm between the HDD cage and back of the case. So depending on where the power cable for the card goes, you may be limited to cards well under that.

hes just decided on a BitFenix Shinobi lol dont know why he seems to like it is it a good case for the money guys ? and is the cooling any good worth buying mroe fans ?

Looks like a good case. Plenty of space for HDDs. Plenty of holes for routing cables. Decent price as well.

I bought a shinobi recently. Well on Thursday, I'm still waiting for it to arrive, probably on Monday, so I will give you my though then when I get it. I can't blame for not thinking it looks nice. I love the whole feel and and design to it. Even if I had a £100 extra to spend on the case I went for the shinobi because I loved the looks.

Looks like a decent case. Should be quite able. I would move the front intake fan at the higher slot, to get more air through the motherboard / GPU. I think it is installed in the lower part of the case.

Did he think it was designed by Fred Perry

? (the logo on the front of the case looks a bit like the Fred Perry logo).
