Which case would be best for upgrade currently?

Well it seems i'm stuck between the:

Lian Li PC-P60 Armorsuit

and

Antec P180 (whats bugging me about this case is that i will have to remove the 2 PSU's and place mine in, will this leave a hole where i removed the 2nd PSU?)

just measure the dimensions of the area the pc will be put in and then see fi the pc80 will fit
 
Ok I'm seriously tempted with the Antec 1200 now..so there seems to be a showdown for me..

vs.

Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P60B Aluminium Midi-Tower Case

For value for money, i take it the 1200 is better...but the P60B has full aluminium build though right, the cooling on both seems similar..i wonder which is better that i should go for. I heard the Lian Li's "cooling is better, using bigger, slower fans for great cooling but little noise" , is this true too?

Have you totally dismissed the HAF 932 then?

I was 99% going to get the 1200 before I saw this.
 
hmmm that case is not bad too!! Looks ugly I know :) But worth a look at, too bad it isn't out yet here. I'm still deciding on the best choice...as its an important one ;) I want to get the best case i can, then keep it for all future upgrades.

if you want the best, silverstone tj07, lian li pcp80 or p60
 
I can recommend the TJ10, it looks stunning!

It also fits a double/triple rad inside without modification, doesn't get any better than that ;)
 
Yeah i want to pay a bit more and get the best :D Purely because I just want a real damn good case which is going to last me a very long time for all my future upgrades.

lian li pcp80 or p60 I keep looking at now... lol
 
Hmm I think the pcp80 might be too extreme in size for me as I only have one Hard Drive, 2 DVD-RW Drives and one 8800GTX? So i would be better of with the p60 Model i take it, as that still is quite a big case as it is.
 
The lian li pcp 80 looks crap.
The Build quality might be good but c'mon...I wouldnt want a case that looks that poor if I was keeping it a long time.
 
I don't think it looks too bad :) Not as good looking as the 1200, or the case i currently have, but the front fans look okay. I'm just trying to see what i would loose out on if i went with the 60 instead 80...just room i guess...wonder how much that adds up to in internal case temps wise...?

well, with your system a 60 might be okay
 
Yes i was just reading a few more threads / looking around on the net, and a 80 would be overkill and the spare space would look silly, i think the 60 would be perfect. I'm not doing any water cooling either so no extra pipes going around anywhere etc :)
 
Trox i checked out some TJ10 reviews too , that case looks impressive too! cooling wise it seems pretty damn good as well.. ;)
 
Depends what i would really gain with having a full tower case, more room in the case for cooling i guess...but i would loose out on desk/floor space as these towers seem huge after looking at a screnshot on one of the threads here :)

I think i really would prefer a mid tower case, i wouldn't really be loosing out on too much in case temps I don't think...

Yea im well impressed with the TJ10, it looks stunning and it has plenty of room inside.

Im not anti Lian Li, i just think if i had the choice between the PCP 80 and the TJ10 (imo) its an obvious choice.

Either way, everyone has their own taste though :)
