I really don't see how a few people are claiming that the L-L cases are flimsy. I was absolutely amazed at how sturdy the PC65 is...it's my first aluminum case so I didn't know what to expect, but the aluminum is thick and the case feels plenty sturdy to me.
I like the Gaming Bomb II...in fact, right up until a few days before I bought my case it was a decision process between the GBII and the Lian-Li. In the end, I just couldn't justify paying $200 for the GBII...it looks like a *good* case, but it just doesn't look like a $200 one. Neither does my Lian-Li, so I definitely wouldn't have paid that price for it back when the PC6x series was that expensive, but basic Lian-Lis have come a long way in price. You can get several variants of their basic mid-tower design for under a hundred without PSU, and let's face it: for the crowd here, an included power supply is not going to be a factor in the price since any power supply included with any case (excepting Antec, of course) is not going to be up to the task. My PC65 only cost $120 + shipping. I think at that price point, it is worth it.
As far as the looks go, that's personal preference. My goal with my computer, after having made the mistake of buying an NZXT Guardian, was to be as clean and simple as possible. Other cases have more elegance, but I am happy with the looks of my Lian-Li.
