Good Dilemma!! - Part 2

dom6918 · 30 Jan 2009 at 12:52

So...

This morning, a buzz on the door and a TNT delivery man gives me a massive box with a coolermaster ATCS..for those of you not knowing GD Part 1, i won a coolermaster ATCS silver 840. The dilemma is that ive just got a brand new Lian Li Pc X500...hmm what do...which one to sell on Ebay..

To help me with the situation ive brought it to a vote! i have attached pictures of both cases...and will be selling the ATCS for 200 ish and the lian li for the same...help me decide which one goes!!

The coolermaster, because it's ugly as sin.

Edit: and because it's silver, and there aint no silver optical drives out there.

Another vote for the coolmaster, only because I dont like Silver Cases.

dom6918 · 30 Jan 2009 at 13:06

Thanks... I have to say though..it looks very nice up close..all the features inside the case are pretty special..dust filters all over the place..removable mobo tray on ball bearings..push to secure hard disk installation...all the stuff that the lian li misses out on but makes up in looks!

You're mad if you get rid of the Coolermaster. The cooling is tonnes better than that of the Lian Li.

It looks beautiful anyway, and silver is nice. Not too common or anything. Plenty of silver optical drives out there too.

humm...you see thats the dilemma..although the lian looks stunning...the cooling features and general features of the coolermaster make it a PC Builders dream..CustomPC rated the Lian Li 35% in its cooling tests as opposed to giving the coolermaster a gold award...hummm

I like silver but lian> coolermaster

If only it was black

dom6918 · 30 Jan 2009 at 13:43

yeah i know

.. i think if it was black, this decision would be a even worse!

Either way..someones gonna get a bargarin on ebay..gonna start a bidding at 180ish i think...

i paid 240 for the lian li..

Keep the Lian Li.

Prefer the layout and the understated looks.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-065-PO&groupid=701&catid=10&subcat=951 and keep the Coolermaster

Again if the coolermaster was black i'd have kept that but out the two you got i'd keep the Lian.

reflux · 30 Jan 2009 at 14:06

Clean those darn fingerprints off the Lian Li and keep it. Coolermaster case is OK but not in the same league IMO.

Emlyn_Dewar · 30 Jan 2009 at 14:09

Keep the Lian-Li, the Coolermaster isn't in the same league lookswise.

dom6918 · 30 Jan 2009 at 14:47

hmm you right...150..but i have no idea how much postage will cost?

it wont be a bargain for the punter if postage costs 25 quid and i sell it for 200..might as well get it from retail?

DampCat · 30 Jan 2009 at 14:56

I posted a case for £13, but i have NFI how big that coolermaster is.

Bradley8988 · 30 Jan 2009 at 15:02

You better remove link as well as i dont think they even like ebay.

sir-les-mp · 30 Jan 2009 at 15:05

This Item is being sold because I have decided to go with a HTPC case instead.

You big fibber

dom6918 · 30 Jan 2009 at 15:12

thats no lie!! the Lian Li Pc-x500 is considered the Ultimate Gaming/HTPC case

The case is 15kg..ive checked parcel force and they state 22 quid..
