Pretty much sold on the Lian Li PC-A10A when I noticed this one.

It looks like it'll tackle almost anything.

Thoughts, comments and when are OCUK getting it?

Review...

I reviewed its sister case the PC-A70 which doesn't have the door.

Here are my comments and some pics: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17787437

Lian Li told me it should be being released around the end of November.

They're great cases... like you i had my eye on the A10 but when i saw this it became my new favourite.

I was really wanting one of these, but they are taking for ever to come out so I ended up getting a V2K.

They look like superb cases.

Swapped my PC-A10 for it...... the door is slightly inferior, not quite as "solid" a feel to it when it closes, but then again it is reversible when the PC-A10 isnt. Much better airflow though, more open and easier to work in (though the A10 is no titch), and much easier to cable route.

TONS of HDD racks, and the lower ones can be completely removed to give TONS of spare space, though it messes cable routing up a little as you have nothing to hide the mess with.

Looking to mod the top to have 3x120mm fans for a PA120.3, looks like it'll fit nicely actually.... And the lower 2x120mm are begging for a PA120.2 to be strapped to them.

Lian Li couldn't give me a RRP.

I'd guess somewhere between £150 & £200.

Having had P180's and the smaller PC-101B i'd say i'd willingly spend that kind of money on one.

I nearly got a Silverstone TJ-07 but didn't as it couldn't tick all the boxes for the money... this case does manage to cover the majority of those bases easily and will probably be the same price.

It's more than worth it.
