I'm having a hard time deciding between the two.

To me, they both look gorgeous;
The are targeted at the same audience;
Their dimensions are quite the same;
Where I live, they are priced equally;
Their features are pretty much identical;
The Lian Li cools better, but it's louder;
The ATCS 840 is better technically (tool-less operation, rubber brackets for HDDs, motherboard openings for cable management), and is regarded to be very quiet.

Which one you would consider the superior case? And why?
Which case would you recommend to me? I have no plans for water cooling or modding whatsoever.
 
I'd say go with what you can fall in love with. Very important to luv the case.
 
I think the ACTS offers you better cooling, and IMHO is the much better looking case.
It's big, but should be able to handle anything you throw at it.

Cooler Master is all aluminum as well, I think.

According to Bit-Tech, the Lian Li is superior in cooling, but it's a loud case.
Moreover, Bit-Tech awarded the ATCS 840 their Case Of The Year award.

Does the PC-P80 has rubber fittings for hard drivers and motherboard tray opening for cable management?

And I can fall in love with both cases :p
 
Being a user of both brands, and admitting I'm a recovering LiLi whore, I'd go with the ATCS. Plenty of room too.
 
The PC P80 has some openings on the motherboard tray. For ease of use, I'd go with the ACTS 840, it looks more mature too than the PC P80. Hehehe, the PC P80 looks like something that will eat you alive.
