Spec me a case!...

[T-800]

Currently looking at the Lian-Li PC-P80 and the Lian-Li PC-P60, but am undecided as to which one to go for.

The components I'll be putting in the case are as follows...

x1 ASUS Formula II motherboard
x1 AMD Quad-Core CPU
x2 DIMMs of 2GB RAM
x2 8800 GTX cards (which are almost the entire horizontal length of my ALX tower)
x1 Creative X-Fi soundcard
x2 DVD drives
x1 Floppy drive (Don't ask...)
x2 SATA hard-drives (need space for 4)
x1 Turbo-Cool 850w PSU

... Wouldn't mind some space for water-cooling in the future, too.

Is there any reason for me to opt for the larger PC-P80 over the smaller PC-P60? I don't want a HUGE case, but want something with lots of internal space, and plenty of modding potential.

Cosmos Sport?

Hrm... Not so sure I like the *look* of that case.

Think I might be dead set on a Lian-Li of some description...

Currently looking at these three cases, because I want a door and 4 USB ports...

* Lian-Li PC-P60

* Lian-Li PC-A20

* Lian-Li PC-V1110A/B

I hate choices.

Which would be your suggestion, and why?

P60 has PSU on hottest place so I would drop that.

The lower the PSU in the case, the better?

A7110 would be other Lian Li with door and 4 USB ports.

I didn't actually want to go with a full-tower, unless Lian-Li don't make a midi-tower I could install an internal water-cooling unit in... What's the 411 on that?

Don't the extra fans compensate for the PSU being at the top of the case?

Guys?

I'd go for the PC-P80 if it was me.

It does seem a bit overkill, though - I'm not even a fan of the size of my ALX case, and it's not even a full-tower. Is it not possible to install an internal water-cooling system in the PC-P60? Or would it have to be external?

Bumpity bump.
