hey, is the pc 60 worth getting over the pc7+ ?
also is there a window available for the Lian-Li PC-60 PLUS ?

Thanks

ps the 2 front grills I assume are for 2 front fans ? can someone who works at OC confirm that they have to front intakes (80mm) because on the lian li link its just one huge one

I wouldn't - it's an old case. If you can, get a PC7+ II or a G50 if you can't.

I'm not sure where the confusion has arisen, but the PC-60 has 2 x 80mm at the front and a 120mm at the back. It also has a blower fan that costs £15 on it's own.

what a g50 look like?

Do you mean G50? In that case - its the one in the Lian Li picture on the cases page. Scroll down under the PC7+'s and you'll see it.

Isn't that the point? Understated excellence?

2 x 120mm's

thanks what options for cooling does it have, I take it it just doesn't have 1 120 mm intake 1 120mm exhaust? what other "holes" does it have

80mm in the roof. But there is no fan in it.

The 1 x 120mm Intake and 1 x 120mm Exhaust are plenty actually. It's the sensible case. No bling displays, nowhere to stash your iPod, no faddy 250mm mesh covered monster fans, just decent build and performance.

the g50 is a horrible case and looks like an old tacky plastic piece of ***** but the pc-7+

stylish and very cool

How is the G50 horrible?

Offers favourable performance of a v600 at an attractive price, considering its competition from other manufacturers I would consider it almost best of class.

Nonsense. The finish on the two is identical. Exactly the same brushed aluminium in silver or black. The PC-G50 is the V600 with a more 'ordinary' look to the case. The metal on the G50 is twice as thick as the PC7+ and it has the same side panel release mechanism as the V series. It's an extraordinary case for the money.

The only downsides to it are you can't use a full-height cooler and it's a little cramped inside. Other than that, it's more than equal to a PC7+ or anything else at the price point.
