PC7+ Or PC-61?

Once again I've changed my mind on the case I wouldnt mind buying

.

Now the PC-7+ and the PC-61 both are really nice but they look exactly the same. It seems that the differences are that you get better cooling in the PC-61? Are the fans included with that worth keeping or swapping for some Ambers for example? and is it worthwile in investing in a fan controller?

Finally are the 2x80mm fans included with it possible to be swapped for one 120mm (i.e the Ambers I mentioned)?

Hope that made sense, didnt to me

Cheers again.

PC7+ is the better cooler, and without modding on the PC60's you can not swap the fans for a bigger one.

PC7+II is 120mm front, 120mm rear and 80mm top blowhole.

If you just use 2x 120mm Akasa Ambers at 7v you get a very good quiet case with very good cooling.

I would always take the PC7+ over the PC60's.

Yewen does it again, thanks mate seems I was a little confused over the fan setup

No worries, the fans you get with the PC7+II are ADDA ones, although if its the PC007 and they are blue you get a slightly louder setup.

At 7v the ADDA fans are not to bad for stock fans, might be worth considering trying them before you spend your money on ADDA's.

OcUK now have side windows too.

Ah so they do, I'll pick one of those up to then, maybe that card reader too...

I don't rate the card reader much.

£20 for one, you can get a external USB one for £5, its the Lian Li name that pushes up the price, although if you want everything to match it is the only one that will exactly.
