Whats your favorite Lian Li case?

I'm starting a new pc, and want to work with another Lian Li after using their wonderful pc-60b. What I loved about that case was its ease to work with in a removable motherboard tray, thumbscrews and general accessibility. I did not like the cooling, and had to modify it with side fans. What I would like is something like the original case in terms of looks, ease to work, but with better cooling and enough size to accommodate the massive graphic cards and psu's that are coming out now. I look on newegg, but I still have a hard time deciding, so any input here is appreciated. Thank you.
 
I'll go with the PC-6070B Plus II the V1100 Plus II. Just cant find that kind of build quality and construction in any other case manufacturer.

Simply put Lian Li > *
 
My favorite would be the PC-343B

The A05B would come in second, with the A10 taking third IMO.
 
V1000..... Only cause i own one :D Best case i've owned. No other case i've seen comes close.........Except maybe a WiNDY.. :p

Antec is shyte. They use cheap plastic and heavy steel instead of sleek aluminum.

IMO antec makes great cases, but are in a different class catering to different folks. I love my antec cases, but when you compare them to lian-li, they take the back seat.
 
comparing an antec to a lian li is like comparing a civic to an M5.

my favorite is the PC-7. Pair of 120mm's, great looks, easy to work with, and one of the cheaper ones.
 
Mmm PC-75. My ever-lasting mod project may someday soon be done. :)
 
im soon to buy one but idk what one. id perfer a window on it or be able to add one on but i also want it silent so idk. buying very soon prob next week.

None, they all suck. Antec cases ftw.

*edit* Apologies, forgot to post which case I'm using that IMHO completely blows any Lian Li case out of the water - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129026

You bought a chrome fridge to put your PC in, I don't think you're in any position to give out advice on cases :p

V1200+ is my favourite, the A05 is an excellent case though. The A16 is also very nice.

It really depends on your budget, cases make very little difference to noise levels (apart from the odd vibration, which Lian Li cases don't really suffer from). If you put a Delta in a case, it'll be loud regardless of which case it is... you use nexus it'll be quiet.

As for the window you can always get one cut, although the G70, PC-7 and v1000/1200/2000 all have windowed panels available.

In looks only I'm afraid, unless you're talking about the cooling system being overloaded with a PC in there like a fridge would be ;) (joking)

Has anyone used this case? LIAN LI PC-A70

It seems like it would hold the monster video cards/cpu coolers of today easily.

I've not used one but I'm sure they're good cases, much like the G70. Most Lian Li cases will fit the largest coolers and graphics cards. Even the tiny A05.

Not only your video cards and CPU coolers, but lunch, a change of clothes, and a sleeping bag. An all-in-one LAN-party package!

I will probably use this case for my Next Big Rebuild, but it will be a long time before I can afford a Rebuild... so who knows what will be released before then. If someone wants to buy me an A70B I'd be glad to post my opinions of it here.

And the A70 is less expensive at SilverPCs.

Awesome info man, I'm ordering it this week. The A70 will be my new case. I just wish it had a side fan, but I'm sure the cooling is more then adequate with 6 120 mm fans...
