Help me choose a new case

yimpster · 23 Jul 2007 at 08:52

i currently have a Zalman HTPC case which IMHO is pure evil.

it's a nightmare to work on and when i installed my Noctua NH-U12F the lid now won't fit (i realise that's not the case's fault)

I have to change the motherboard as it's fried so i've decided to sell the case and get something more suitable.

any recommendations that will fit the cooler above?

also i'm not into spending silly money so let's try to keep the figures £150 unless there's something i'm missing out on.

thanks in advance.

pc-7+ (with a side window, drive stealths and new fans) and save the rest of the money for another upgrade?

i totally agree pc-7 for the win , but if you can afford a bit more why not get a slightly bigger lian li .

The lian li cases are so well finished u will be impressed and probably never change manufacture again, i no i wont

I just picked up an Enlight 8950 - Awesome for £13 and then you'll have spare mula for other bits and bats

The pc-7+ looks perfect. I also owned a Lian li many years ago which i was very happy with (along with my Coolermaster at the same time).

So i know i'm with a good quality case.

Any other recommendations for alternative Lian Li models? I don't mind spending a bit more or getting something larger if it's worth it.

Thanks for the feedback so far

I recently got the Lian Li V1000 having upgraded from the Lian Li PC61.

Very nice case if your willing to spend the extra. I'd also say that Lian Li's are very good and it would be hard to change manufacturer knowing their quality.
