Spec Me A Case Thread :-)

Hessian · 27 Dec 2008 at 12:02

Im feeling like I'm in need of a new case and just wondering if you guys at OcUK could spec me a new one? At the moment I've got a 'Lian-Li PC-7 Plus' so ideally I'd like it to be of a similar size. Needs to fit 3 HDD and 2 Opticals. I'm more of a fan of sleek designs rather than the large plastic monstrosities :-p

And ideally it needs to be black because I've got black optical drives or need to have a way of hiding them. Added bonuses obviously are front USB, Firewire, Headphone / Microphone Input.

Thanks very much for any recommendations.

Lian li b25.

Lian li pc7f or 60f fullfils that. I have just ordered one, but it's really down to if you like the styling and want to invert your system. Without a card reader or a floppy you may not see the point of the 3.5" bay.

Is the windowed version. The only issue is the 7f is like hen's teeth. My second choice would be the b25.

Another vote for the Lian Li PC-7f. Check out my pics in the link.

The PC-7F looks like a really nice case, but where can I get one?

Unfortunately I can't really answer where you can get one without picking up a ban.

They are definitely not easy to get hold of in the UK right now, so if you do find one in stock anywhere then I would jump on it. - I hesitated on the first one I found and it sold out in a day.

You should be looking to pay about 80-90 pounds, no more.
