Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Short and sweet, this case is really nicely done. Quite roomy for a mid-tower, which is, oddly enough, my only complaint. The case is bordering on huge. Sure, it's nice to have SIX hard drive bays and FIVE accessory bays (CD-ROMs, etc.), but does anyone really need all that space in a mid-tower? If you're going with a liquid cooling system and want space for a radiator, etc.., then great, but otherwise, I wish the case was a bit smaller. Hence my 4 star rating. This is the smallest case that features the 3 zone cooling system, so if you want that, then deal with it I guess.
Anyway, great build quality, but it is a bit over-priced in my opinion. The materials are ~good~, but for $200+, they should be great. It's a shame when you have to overpay to get this kind of quality, but make no mistake, there's not a better case for the money out there right now. I'm justifying the expense by keeping in mind that this case is not disposable, but instead, will be used again and again.
Oh yeah, I got the Antec 480 neopower PS, which is pretty big, and it fits like a dream. Fact is, I've not seen a PS that wouldn't fit in this case.
Obviously the case is meant to mimic the Apple G5, which it does pretty well, but if you want to see an _excellent_ case, check out the G5's. Quality of workmanship to materials used, the G5 is head and shoulders above this one. But, of course, the G5 case is not available by itself. :-(
Anyway, the case is quite good and looks great sitting next to my G5. One of the nice touches that Lian-Li put on the case is a G5-like DVD/CD-Rom bay at the top. Instead of the door sliding down, it flips open, but it's a very nice touch regardless.
Pick this case up for your next project and you won't be dissapointed.
