Case Recomendations to Replace Lian Li PC7

Revenant · 14 Aug 2008 at 15:14

Hi

Current case is a Lian Li PC7 - build as per Sig. I'm looking for a larger case to help with:

1. Longer Gfx cards
2. USB/Mic ports on near the case top instead of the bottom
3. Airflow

I'm tempted by the Antec 1200, but I like the simple black of my current case.

Can people please offer me some suggestions?

Thanks

Get the a1200 and black out the leds.

Lian Li v1000 I had one, well still do but im transfering to mATX in order to shrink things, Its stiall a brilliant bit of kit, really solid construction and looks stunning

I have the antec 1200, its a really good looking case. Looks a lot better in person. And as the above poster has said you can dim or turn the lights off, plus it looks awesome at night. Its easy to keep clean has good air flow, good cable managmeant, comes with 6 case fans. And its almost silent if you turn your fan speeds down.

As for space i have 2 260 gtx's and i have no problem fitting them in.

You cant go wrogn with it really.

Its a pig-ugly case actually

Its not a great looker but it does a good job of cooling the system quietly; better than looking great and being noisy and hot.

lol it aint the best look case but does the job none the less. kinda has a face only a mother could love

But i would still buy it

Would always get the Nzxt tempest over the 1200 as more room and much better cooling, and it looks better.

Would have said the 1200, but Cooler Master HAF 932 all the way now!

Im the same actually, i currently have an Antec 900 housing all my lovely gear but im just finding it a) too small now and b) im looking to watercool it all in the near future. Hence; more room!

Im looking at the Lian-Li cases v2010b or the a77, i like the similarity of the Antec 900 & 1200 and the A77 which i think will be my final choice, take a look for yourself! Only downside is the pricetags

i like the 1200 is black inside and out saves sending it for powdercoating
