Lian Li Cases

Steedie · 27 Apr 2006 at 16:14

mine just arrived from a competitor, got the 2x120mm so well happy

cant beleive how awesome this case is, its so light yet so amazing well built.

Even little things like protectors around the sharp edges and stuff.

Best thing of all, my hard drive is almost silent now, its always been quite noisy but this case has cut the vibrations loads and now its no noisier than most

10/10 from me

Nice photos andrew24... I'm hoping a windowed panel for this case can be had cheaply.

£30 to your door for the silver.

PC60 side windows are the same as the PC7+ ones, so they are interchangeable. Do not get caught in the price trap of paying over £25 for the window.

Yeah, i was once a Lian Li sceptic too - i think you have to buy one or see one in its full glory up front to appreciate the build quality of them.

Hmm still quite dear for a window... may leave that, since I've no LEDs in my case anyway.

I wish there were some comparison shots between the silver and the black one.

Nice, so you are happy with it

Beleive all the hype it gets now?

Oh yes!

Superb looking case, just fitting everything into it now from my Eclipse, anyone even slightly thinking of getting one should do so straight away!, like i said before only my Black Widow comes close to it. I've been spoilt by the Eclipse's space inside, so it's taking longer than i thought to move everything into the Lian-Li (thank god for the laptop).

I did buy some bezels from OcUK and they look awesome aswell.

Would like to get the side window but at the mo i can't justify the £30, maybe next pay day

Can I just ask? How come you're switching from the Eclipse case to the smaller Lian Li? The Eclipse was quite a shocking case I believe with superior cooling.

Main reason is that i'm now using a different room for the PC and the Eclipse is a big bulky case and i was just getting fed up of knocking it by accident and it looking out of place. To be honest i regret buying it as i didn't really need it at the time, I'm not into overclocking in a big way, new fans and vga/cpu coolers is about as far as i go.

The Eclipse does what it suppose to do and thats cool a system very well but looks wise it can't compete with Lian-Li or the older Coolermasters, i was tempted to get my old Black Widow back off my brother but it can't house the 120mm fans.

The one big plus for me with the Eclipse was the ease at which you could work inside the case, noticing it a lot tonight, but the parts i have don't require such a big case and i can't see that changing anytime soon.

Anyway back to it, just installing the front i/o panel which is confusing the hell out of me! :eek:

kbc · 27 Apr 2006 at 21:29

Well justified. :cool:

I will have to place my order for one. Though still having a hard time with which color to choose. I've a black keyboard, black monitor and black speakers....

Yewen · 27 Apr 2006 at 21:37

I have all black, and a silver case.

If you can see them in person, the pictures look nothing like the real case does!

Yewen · 28 Apr 2006 at 16:04

Did the case you got have a green or all silver badge on the front?

Woo another PC7+II convert

Camalot · 28 Apr 2006 at 16:52

Mine is stilling next to me, so far i have this case, 1gb geil value,x1800xt 256mb and an asrock duel sata 939 for my new pc! cant wait !

The case is truely amazing build quality, ocuk really need to change the pic on webpage cos it makes it look like some plastic crap thing

ashmanq · 28 Apr 2006 at 16:55

I bought the PC 7 recently from a competitor and man does it look good, much better in real life than in the pics! And the build quality is really good too

Heres mine all set up now, im not sure i like it with the fan controller in or not, started with it out, opinions on the matter please?

First set up without fan controller

Now after tonight, with it..

PinkFloyd · 28 Apr 2006 at 22:48

I Fan controller looks better with it in. Since other wise you have the silver bezel in between all of the drives.
Why didn't you pick a blank one? :s

Steedie · 28 Apr 2006 at 22:54

i've always had a black or dark case and fancied a change, plus i knew the black went with that colour cause of my housemates case, i think it looks rather good

i think the black looks a lot better with silver when it isnt so cluttered (ie with the fan controller in) now it looks messy, think i'll take it out tomorrow unless i get used to it
