Yeh not one I've seen before.

Looks old due to the classic design of it. Plus it actually has a proper motherboard tray! which none of the other current Lian Li's have as far as I know.

I quite like it
Wouldn't be much cop for cooling though.

I quite like it but im suprised about the rear mounted PSU. It was hard getting a cooler for my V600, and the A05 (i think) has a much nicer layout with it at the front.

it looks like a PC-G50A (http://www.lian-li.com/product/product06.php?pr_index=14&cl_index=1&sc_index=1&ss_index=4&type=a) with an uglier front.

A couple of the bigger Lian Lis have motherboard trays. I dont like the PSU placement on that case though, wil be very restrictive on the CPU HSF you can use.

Strange, as full ATX + 5x 5.25" bays means they are aiming for fairly "big build systems"

I prefer the PC-A05, or the new PC-C32A

Could be server aimed? Would explain the cruddy cooling and odd PSU placement. Not many HDD trays though. What would need a load of 5 1/2 bays? Aimed at DVD pirates?

looks like it might be trying to fit atx into matx size as the reason why the PSU is above the cpu hsf.

Could work ok if the heatsink was passive with the PSU extracting the heat from it.

Would be a compact full atx case!

I'll stick with my G50 thanks.

looks like poo, compared to most of their other designs

I'll stick with my G50 thanks.

PK!

same here

and as for coolers there plenty of options for it if you know what you're looking for. Currently using an s939 opteron heatsink with inverted fan (x2 4200+ 89w idle 25C) but will be changing for a nt06 (passive like the sugo sg01e)for less noise as I know that will fit from measurements between my sugo sg01e and g50.

Not too bad IMO, but still the PC-7 has everything this doesn't in terms of looks for me
