I have finally found my case!

I was eyeing A7110B for quite some time now,
but then I found X2000B!!

I think I am in love!!

Unless someone objects, (please provide advice)

X500 is a better option imo...

But to be honest, apart from the looks, there is little going for these.

...and the uber cooling?

But a HAF or similar has much better cooling at a MUCH lower price point.

I remember when I first set eyes on the x2000B...it was such a sexy case. But then after reading reviews, it seemed way overpriced for its performance. So if I were you, I'd go for the A7110B that you were initially gonna go for.

Thanks for the advice...

I liked the idea of compartmentized sections going for the x2000/x2000b as right now with my Antec 900 I hate having my second 4850's Zalman fan sucking the life out of my PSU... I would love to separate my PSU from the rest of the board/system. And also x2000 is narrower, but much taller, which I actually do prefer.

I did read some reviews and x2000 doesn't seem to be getting the highest scores compared to other cases.

Now I cannot decide...

I am a huge fan of Lian LI but good gawd that is one expensive case.

I'm not sure if it is fixed, but in early review samples last year, there was mention of some poor areas in regards to metal (one or two joints?).

Bit-Tech review

The front fascia panel continued to disappoint when we realised that when it had been machined, the panel had bowed inwards in the middle, making the side panels which should fit flush noticeably jut out from the front of the case. This is a disappointment considering Lian Li's build quality is legendary in the case market. Hopefully Lian Li will be able to resolve the manufacturing fault in future, but for the moment it’s a sad flaw with an otherwise gorgeous and immaculately built case.

The case itself is absolutely gorgeous, and I would love to own something like it.

If you want to seperate the psu from the system, why not check out the v1110 or v2110?
