Love the look of that but I was hoping the front would be a perforated door. Still nice though.

how can they possibly justify that price? Is it anodised in holy water and put together buy some kind of rare intelligent mountain monkey? The extra expense must come from somewhere.

lmao

I feel your pain though. This is the first case I've liked the look of in probably 2 years and it's a bit of a shame we're getting bent over on the price.

Yep...I'm still using my PC-60B as nothing since I got it has made we want to change, well, apart from one of those impossible to get without spending silly money Soldam Black Knights, but the A-16 in black has that certain je ne sais quoi quality about it.
I don't know what to do though, I'm still waiting to hear from Lian Li if they are going to bring out a full tower version any time soon. If they don't reply by the weekend I think I'll order the A-16.

I'm sure they will, as the A-16 is likely to sell very well. The popularity of the drilled fronts of the V1000/V2000 would make them crazy not to really.

It may be a while off though. If A-16 is big enough for you, best to go for now.

It is a Lian Li case, the second hand value of one of these still boxed and in mint condition is almost that of the current retail price.

You will lose £10 maybe £15 if you decided to sell it in a few months time, these cases when mint do not depreciate much and should not over the coming years.

Only major change I can see affecting the price of these cases second hand is the introduction of 140mm fans, although I have my doubts that this is needed.
