Lian Li compatibility with clones?

I just picked up a Skyhawk mid-tower case (http://www.directron.com/msr4610sl.html), and was wondering, since the dimensions of my case and the PC-6x series are so similar, would it be possible to use (some, if not most of) the upgrades/replacement parts designed for the PC-6x on my case?
 
More than likely the answer is no, Lian-Li has very unique mounting holes and clip-in systems that i doubt the skyhawk copied. But i have to say, that case is such a ripoff.

So no aquarium, drive covers, floppy covers. The multimedia front panel and hard-drive caddies might work, but you'd have to measure against a Lian-Li to be sure.

How is that "such a ripoff"? Can you justify your claim AT ALL? Hell, lemme ask you this, do you own one? Probably not. :rolleyes:

I bought one as part of my dad's computer build for $39 + shipping at Newegg. And lemme tell be the first to tell you, it's a damn good case. Granted, it doesn't have a window or a blue power LED like the PC-6x series, but other than that, there is absolutely nothing "ripoff" about it. It's still very hard justifying spending well over $100 on a Lian-Li when all you really care about is aluminum construction/lightweight and the only difference(s) in a $40 Skyhawk is the lack of a few MINOR features.

Umm... i meant its a ripoff of Lian-Li, not price-wise. You might wanna think about that before you post next time. Why would i call a cheap case a rip off? its actually a good price for what you get, its just a ripoff of Lian-Li though.

Side note: I wish Lian-Li made high-end steel cases, im tired of mine vibrating from my raptors lol

Hmm, this question has been driving me nuts ever since I first compared the looks of the Skyhawk and Lian Li PC-6x series. While you're more than likely right, when I get some extra money, I MIGHT look to pick up a PC-6x series for testing purposes (hey, an excuse to pick up another case :D ).
 
lian-li is probably alot stronger then that case... plus all of the sliding/removable parts
 
actually i do believe this case was designed by skyhawk before lian li even thought about making it. tho i got this info from multiple reviews. i have one tho and it was nice for the price.
