you're paying for the name...and the looks. I have a pc-60, and i it. There are also some nice features on the lian, ie the removable mobo tray.


Also, you spelt masturbation wrong

Although I did nearly buy one, I think that Lian-Li cases are not worth the money. Sure they look good and have decent features but they are priced extortionately.

I know ppl that have them and hate them. They're constantly complaining about the thumbscrews stripping the aluminum...

i payed the extra money for my lian-li because it's a classy looking case, its aluminum, it has enough fans to get airflow moving while not being obnoxious, and it doesn't have a STUPID WINDOW

i dont mind windows actually...ill prolly end up putting on in myself to show off my water cooling...but thats besides the point. I mainly want the lian-li cuz its different...cuz EVERYONE has that antec case..whether its the x-pider or not...its still the same case that alienware used and everyone has. While it looks like a damn good case its too common. Anyways...how easy is it to paint on a lian-li

Is that from experiance?! I wouldn't leave it in the same room as a paintbrush if I bought one.

on the topic of coolermaster cases - they use the same chieftec chassis as everyone else. the only difference is that a bunch of their cases have an aluminum front bezel, but the rest of the case is constructed of 1.0 secc

I got myself a PC71 case from lian li. The only reason I got it was that it was the biggest thing on the market for a reasonable price that would hold a ton of hard drives. The antec/lookalike cases are nice, but I'm looking for something that will hold 8 or more hard drives, and my watercooling setup, so that's the only reason I got one. That and it was on clearance for $100 less that I can buy them from my distributor.

It won't happen, they were on clearance because nobody ever bought them because they were so expensive. I bought 2 of their last 4 cases that they will ever get from lian li.
