The A70F is a premium case, (cost £170.00) and it shows in the quality of finish and fitting. It takes half an hour to assemble a rig in the lian li, due to the tool less design, even the different sized thumbscrews for mobo mounting shows amazing attention to detail. When i cleaned it out the other night, i fitted a black 7 slot pci clamp system in it. The precision engineering in a part as small as that is a beauty to behold. So well thought out but they let their range down with the bare interiors and lack of proper cable management. If i could afford to watercool, id choose the A70F over the xl in a heartbeat. Much more room for a big thick rad in the top, albeit it would cost a bit to mod the case.
My other x58 rig is housed in an old akasa eclipse 62, it had sli gpu's. (gtx 460's) on a p6x 58de. Had to get shot of the 460's as they were running to hot, below is how it did look.
Those cables and fans are now in my xl.
