PC-A71B vs PC-A70B

[EsaT]

bad pic i dont really have a clue about digital cameras , my wifes has to many settings so i just selected one and hit the button...

Don't worry, I've seen lot worser pics. (but I doubt there's that many settings, nowadays cameras below advanced DSLRs don't even have enough external controls)

You should have just taken few more of them when it goes that well, especially CPU area/how well HSF fits would be interesting.
Also it looks like sides of HDD rack are more open for airflow than earlier.
(big "slot" instead of separate holes: this way)

I'm thinking of getting the A71B, looks like a lovely case. Was thinking about replacing the fans with Noctuas too. Are the fan mounts standard ones?

Yep just standard 120m fans. And a lot of them.

Excellent, thanks for the info waso.

stock fan specs are

Spec. for 12cm 2-balls bearing DC Brush less fan :
1. Air Flow - 1.50m³ / min (53.0CFM)
2. Speed - 1500 rmp ± 10%
3. Acoustical Noise - 25.6dBA (Max. 26.25dBA)

acording to the lian-li websites faq.

btw those dust filters seem to work incredibly well, after 6 days i thought i would have a look if they had caught anything because from looks alone they dont seem that good but they had changed to a grey colour from all the tiny dust particles and the fans directly behind them still looked immaculate!

on my old case i had metal mesh ones and they were rubbish seemed like they just shredded any dust into stupidly fine particles that coated in the inside of my pc

and if anyones curious as to how much the door on the front of the a71 effects temps with the door open my ambient temp only drops 1c

Those Lian Li ADDA fans are very quiet @ 7v and silent @ 5v. Almost no real reason to replace them TBH.

I agree arknor... the fan filters are excellent despite looking like they'd do a poor job.

Even better then, I'll save myself some money and not bother swapping them out. Good news on the dust filters, after having them on my P180 I realised how incredibly useful they are after not having them on my Antec 900. Good to hear the A71B's work well.

could you get pre cut grill at the top for a 120.3?

Awesome cases. Airflow is second to none!

Just a shame it's SO big else I'd have one. Don't get my wrong, I like internal space but there is a limit.
