The A70FB is nice, but sadly let down by the bare aluminium interior. I bought mine about 7-8 months ago for £164.99, see its up in price now. Im getting the internals powdercoated to improve the look. The V1020 internals look fantastic with the black finish, also as you mention, the number of expansion slots is indeed very impressive for a mid tower, only other Lian Li i can think off with as many slots is the PCP80. Also love the slide out mobo tray, very reminiscent of my old akasa eclipse 62, basically i built the rig outside the case, very handy.
