cant speak from experience on that front, but I would think not.

the PC7 is a very popular case around here. Not that I have one

but then again, Im unpopular

awww I'm sure that's not true, at least you get kudos from me

All I need to know now though is whether I can add this case to my order from earlier today, save deliveries hopefully.

gr1mey · 7 Jul 2006 at 22:08

have the despatched the order?

you should have recieved an email if they did...

if not, I'd ring them first thing monday morning and ask.

Tigjaw · 7 Jul 2006 at 22:12

No it hasn't been dispatched, I've just recieved an email confirming the order.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

As gr1mey has already said, you need to drop the sales line a call as soon as possible tommorrow preferably, as they may not ship but I think the store is open.

I have a Zalman CPNS7700 which is wider than the Big Typhoon in my Lanboy and it fits just about perfectly (one of the fins touches the fan guard on the power supply).

As the typhoon in slightly smaller, it should be a perfect fit, very close, but a fit all the same.

But it would depend on where the CPU socket is situated on the motherboard

There's all these snazzy cases I've seen and I don't know whether they'll fit my components.

Are you guys holding back?

I don't have a budget for a case but I'd rather not spend over £80 for one.

Would any of the Thermaltake cases be any good?

If not, the Lian Li Silver is kinda growing on me, in the picture it looks white-gray but I found some other images of it and it did look more silvery. Does it actually look silver in person?

Yewen · 8 Jul 2006 at 13:52

It looks like the inside of a aluminium coke can.

Most certainly silver, brushed aswell.

Search for PC7 on these forums and lots of pictures will pop up.

Yeah it does, pictures really don't show the case very well... I'll just ge a couple pics of the front.
with flash

without

Thanks again Raikiri, it looks a hell of a lot nicer in those pictures. Somebody needs to sort out the overclockers image for it because to be honest when I first saw the Lian Li PC7 Silver case it looked no different to my friend's 10 year old IBM case!

Anyway, I've hassled around enough so I'll be ordering it ASAP, as long as I can add it to my previous order. I'll get on the phone to 'em anyway.

Thanks again everybody, can't wait to have my system up and running.

EDIT: Order added, all done and dusted!

You have to post pictures when you get it, Raikiri's pictures like the ones I take just can't do the finnish justice.

Tigjaw · 8 Jul 2006 at 17:12

Will do Yewen, along with a summary of my beautiful rig

I'll give my work area a tidy first though hehe.

If everything arrives at the same time then I should have the Li Lian by the 14th/15th.
