** LIAN-LI PC-O11 DYNAMIC EDITION - A NEW ENTHUSIAST PRICE/PERFORMANCE CONTENDER ARRIVES **

One thing I've noticed with this case is that is has bad cooling for the hard drive bays in the back. I noticed my 10TB Seagate drive is sitting at 49DegC at idle which is a bit warm - and it's going to get a lot warmer when Summer weather arrives. There is no ventillation for the drive bays other than the perforated grille at the back, they're enclosed with no airflow from any fans (no way to install one either unless I'm missing something). Adding top fans just ventillates the mainboard compartment.
 
Thinking of building my some a new rig for Christmas. (Yeah I know, but like to get things sorted early)

So if I got this case what rad setup is best? Not going to go with the distro plate or hardline I don't think. Hardline is a maybe at this point as I've never used it before.

If I use 2 360 rads what thickness is good for either push or pull?
 
Yup. But at the time Lian Li used brushed aluminium for everything. They've managed to come down the market substantially by using glass and steel.

The most interesting case I've seen from them recently is the Lancool 205. It's a Micro Center exclusive Micro ATX case. It looks sharp, seems well built, and is only $60(!). I really like that they've painted the white version inside and out; white cases with black internals bug me.
