Can you tell me if the sidepanels are the same quality as on the V series, or are they more like the PC7 which I suspect they might be as someone on this thread said this case can take the PC7 side window. That being the case, it seems overpriced.

Yes, it's basically a PC7 chassis. The A16 front panel even fits the PC7 but there is an issue with the front panel connectors.

Thanks WJ. Hmm...PC7 chasis. Then it seems way too expensive.

It's like an Armani suit. You're paying for the look, the name and (at the moment) the exclusivity of buying from only a couple of suppliers. I'm buying all my Lian Li stuff in from Europe or the USA at the moment, as they're not charging these fantastic prices (basically straight £/$ conversion rates) when the pound is at a very decent exchange rate against the dollar. I know you're in Euro so you may find it even cheaper to buy with no intervening exchange rate.

Gah - the idiots in the US sent me a black Lian Li HDD module.. which is easily already available in the UK. I want silver dagnammit.
