PC7+ - Put my mind at ease please

MrJubbly · 28 Mar 2007 at 22:41

I've been planning my first system build for the last few weeks now and the first thing I decided on, after some deliberation, was the case - the Lian Li PC7+. Now I've come to the point where i'm ready to order all my components though, I've started to read some worrying threads about the case being prone to rattling and other noises, and motherboards having to be 'bent' to fit.

I appreciate the noise issues can be resolved, but tbh as this is going to be my first build I could probably do without niggles like this. As for the possible mobo issue, well that sounds a bit scary (I'll be going with the P5B deluxe btw).

Just after some reassurance really before proceeding. Is this as good as I have been led to beleive till now?

Cheers

Whoever told you that you will need to bend the Mobo is deluded.I build loads of systems in the Lian Li, never had to "bend" one yet.So that`s one of your worries out the way mate

I'm sure I've read it on ths forum in the last few days (I'm sure the guy said he shorted his board doing it :eek:

) but I'll be darned if I can find it now! Perhaps I'm just going senile

...this mainly seems to be an issue for people with multiple drives etc so if you doing a bog standard PC build I suspect you will be fine!

I will be going with 3 HDDs, so I guess I will have to expect this issue to arise

I`ve got 3 Samsungs in the HD Rack.I havn`t noticed any rattle or excessive noise from them.

That's reassuring to hear. I'm actaully going to be putting 3 Samsungs in mine too.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Feel much more confident now, so the PC7 it will be then.

Thanks again,
