Going to buy either one of these today and still can't decide which one? Both look nice and always wanting Lian Li case after seen Lian Li PC-7 because i really like the top PSU mount looks like a tunnel and hide PSU.

I would like to have WC in the future and prefer 120.2 radiator inside the case rather than outside or maybe outside with 120.3 :p

Opinion please :D
 
they are very similar cases in terms of styling and to be honest both look fantastic, i only have experience of the silverstone case and i deliberately went for it as i wanted a more toned down case from all the bling and LED's of the antec 900 i had prev.

I like the look of the front panel on the lian-li, if it had black internals it would look nicer IMO altho it wouldnt take much to powdercoat or spray it :)

With either case you might have your work cut out getting a w/c setup inside the case, the Fortress for sure is a bit of work to W/C internally as you can see from RJ's build log.

Im loving my fortress but you will be delighted with either case mate, now its all down to personal choice, if your like me its a case you will be living with for quite a few years and working with each time your upgrade.

once you go for one of these high quality cases you will appreciate the quality and workmanship.
 
I'm using Thermaltake M9 at the moment and only 4 months the most. It's a great case in my opinion and the cooling quite good as well. I managed Q6600 --> 3.4GHz on air and the temp still quite reasonable in my opinion :)

Nothing wrong with M9 , just fancy a change after seeing all nice cases around here and wanting something that not looks quite plastics :D

I was looking at PC-8 as well which is similar to the famous PC-7 :)

Decisions decisions :rolleyes:

If you all had the money for FT01B-W, which one would you choose :p
 
Yeah, will order Fortress FT01B-W :D

Just wondering what internal card reader would i get, i know Lian Li have their internal card reader to match the case.

You could be lucky and get the Lian Li card reader to fit, I think Silverstone also do an internal card reader module.
