Fractal Torrent or Lian li 216

[topher]

I torn between the 216 and the Torrent, seen both reviews on Gamers Nexus, doesn't appear to be much in it regarding temps.. although both tomshardware and kitguru found that mounting at least one fan on top of the PSU shroud helped lower gpu temps (on the 216).
also seen a number posts mention the torrent scratches easily, which would be annoying.
also doesn't appear you can get replacement 160mm fans for the 216 if they fail..

thoughts please

hardware in the case will be
7800x3d
4070s
Asus strix 650e-e
32GB DDR5 CL30 6000mhz
AK620 or Phantom spirit
couple of nvme's

The only negative for the torrent is the top plastic cover. Also you will be “limited” to air cooler, as installing an AIO at the front defeats the point of owning a Torrent: the big front fans.
The 216 is good. Allow more flexibility, honest case for decent money.

plastic top on £170 case ... it's not a deal breaker assuming it's good quality and doesn't mark easily
