*anodised 
, means coating it with thicker oxide with dye mixed in, really good finish for aluminium. Would be hilarious to attempt on steel, but there's a different story
I think it's enormous. Really, really enormous. I also think that if those drive cages are as removable as they look you can put another triple intake in the front and then you're laughing
I quite like the lian li design. The strut to support expansion cards is particularly good, I cable tie mine to each other and to the top of the case which is far less pretty.
Second hand, one you've done yourself or one made to your spec? It's certainly been professionally anodised, you just don't get that finish at home

great job makes me want to get a new watercooling setup even tho the gains would be minimal lol
i brought it 2nd hand i anit that good lol,had the window plexi put in and had some more cable holes cut out,im looking forward to rebuilding it in this,going to look empty.
yes the hd trays can be removed all of them in fact,room for a rad at front,but not going to as yet as skint lol,unless my items go in mm.

that looks like a case by tom 
hi all just started to rebuild now so here's whats been done.
moved the two drivebays up one
removed the middle bar
took out the drivebay from here for the rad to go in
right now i am wondering should i go with the previous design,where i had the fans blowing into the case
or would it be better to now have them blowing up through the rad and out of the case.
does having a differnet case/design change how the temps ect go?
i have the two fans in the front bay blowing in over hardrives into case and then exhuast is out back.
the drivebay from the top left is redundant now which i cant put in the front bay due to it being different design, which leaves me with a spare fan cannot see a way to fit it in front for more air flow into case.
i want to make sure of course this is built once and not have to rip it all out again,so i am asking for a little help in this project if possiable with ideas on placement of fans,rad,res/pump.
think i got designer block!!!
