What are your opinions on this case? I saw it and thought it looked great and I love the design too, bonus that it comes with the RGB fans (arguably the best on the market) already fitted as well.

But I'm not sure if its worth the price tag of £220. Are there any similar cases like this?

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £231.65 (includes shipping: £11.70)​

I bought mine 3 weeks ago & I am more than happy with it. Just add 3 120mm fans & you're good to go.

This is a good shout, its what most comments that ive seen online have provided as an alternative to the corsair one!

But thing is, Im going to buy those corsair fans anyway and they're about £70. For the purpose of ease, I might just go with the corsair anyway as its already included.

Either that or im going to wait and see if there's a newer version being released, im in no rush for a new case, but just pondering at some possibilities. I just need somewhere to sell my old Phanteks P350x case, but im not part of the MM yet so there isn't anywhere solid to sell :(

I have the lian-li case. It’s easily the best case I have owned.

for building in and aesthetics.

Really does seem like it, im now torn! I might just wait until Lian-li release a newer version of that case, and then ill decide then. As I said previously, im no rush but was just pondering some future options

Think you're thinking of the ML range. LL are the low noise fan so yeah they light up different colours but I'll happily argue they aren't the best on the market.

I was talking "best" in the sense of their RGB options, of course if it was just about cooling im sure there are definitely better options
 
Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Just thought I'd chip in as I built a new system into a 680x a couple of weeks ago.

I love this thing! It looks amazing, is really quiet and has good airflow, despite some of the reviews claiming otherwise. The dual-box design is different but works really well IMO, keeping all the gubbins out of sight and making a nice clean build easier.

I'm currently just using an AIO for the CPU but am planning to go full hardline water when I upgrade the GPU later this year.

All that said, there is one design flaw I'm not very impressed with, which is whilst the front fans are all mounted to a removable panel which can be taken out whole from inside the case, as soon as you put a radiator in the top or bottom, this becomes impossible.
Cleaning the front filter thus requires either dismantling your radiator(s) or alternately removing the front panels to get at it this way. Combined with the fact that the filter is totally visible through the glass panel and back-lit by the fans makes even a small amount of dust very visible.
I guess I'll just have to resign myself to taking the front off the case every month to clean it out but it's annoying.
 
I’ve removed the front glass panel and it has helped with temps- down around 4-5c and doesn’t miss look the case
Just wish it was big enough to fit 2x 360 rads then would be fantastic case
