Lian Li case selection

TheGamingGeneral · 5 May 2008 at 17:39

Hey guys am just looking for a consencious on what case is the better choice here. I had a silverstone TJ09 which I am having to get rid of despite never being used, and am looking to get something as stylish and well made, but, hopefully, not as expensive.

Got my selection down to between the:

Lian Li PC-A71B Aluminium Tower Case - Black

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-106-LL

Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P60 Aluminium Midi-Tower Case

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-116-LL&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=187

And it's basically which of those two. I am aware the P60 is not as large as the A71B but, I doubt I would really fill either at this moment in time. I prefer the look of the A71B if am honest, but, function is more of a priority.

Thoughts would be appreciated

V1000? I know it's not one of your choices but that's the one i'd chose. At around £100 you'd save some cash too.

Should be a few new lian li cases coming out over the next few months so you might want to wait.

I just put together a system in a PC-A70, would recommend it, particularly for the price. Very good features and, as I now expect from Lian Li cases, a solid feel to it. Only downsides to it are the lack of sound proofing and slightly cheap feel of the power and reset switches.

However, at £120 for a full-tower Lian-Li case they are only very minor niggles.

I have a A70B - same internal.

ITs massive, if you want a massive case then get this one.

I have a 120.2 in the front and a 120.2 in the top... Will take a 120.3 in the top

both can take a shroud if needed....

Another one for the A70B, i have a PA120.3 in the top of mine & theres still lots of room.

Have to echo the comment about the power switches,they do tend to stick a bit

other than that,i'm very happy with mine.

waso_dude,do you have a pic of your front mounted 120.2 at all ? Would'nt mind doing the same in mine.

I've got the A71B - Tis a thing of beauty even when empty!
Haven't got around to starting my build, but it will have a PA120.3 in the top and a PA120.2 in the front along with being powdercoated
