oh I like that one ! yes mid to full my biggest heat issue is the 4 hard drives I fear nothing will bring the temps on my top video card down it will hit 57 c if you push it but a side intake may help that

PVTCaboose1337 · Nov 1, 2006, 02:13 AM

I have a tt soprano, now if you get the aluminum version of that... its an ok case, but with some small flaws.

InfDamarvel · Nov 1, 2006, 09:55 PM

Id take a look and try to find a nice all black case that can fit a very long card like the G80. The Lain Lii because of the way its build does not seem like it will w/o mods.

get a Aerocool Aeroengine 2, or a extreme engine 3t, amazing airflow, the aluminium doors version is pretty cool but rare

and it's cheap

Chewy · Nov 1, 2006, 10:13 PM

Yeah, like Honey see, we won't need a carpet because the fans suck up all the dust, so we should get a wood floor instead

That case is amazing except for two things. One being that there are a ton of logos all over it, and two is that there's not an actual motherboard tray to hide wires behind.

Looks like a Lian Li PC-60. I have the PC-65B (black version with a window).

To strick94u: I would recomend pretty much any Lian Li. Take a look around on Xoxide and Newegg and Lian Li cases and you will probably find something you like. They're always made out of aluminum. The only plastic parts on the case are the fans.

strick94u · Nov 1, 2006, 11:27 PM

I think this may be the one If I can find it in black but checkout the 4 hotswap drivebays that is sexy(going to dr about that soon)

ATIonion · Nov 1, 2006, 11:31 PM

it is the Lian-Li PC-60....but the window mod done is exclusive to crazy pc...not that it means much...the panel by itself is like $60 or so.....its the only thing diff. then the PC-60...

they had a much nicer case with left and right lasercut panels..the cut was of a guy pointing a glock and it was done in like a 2point perspective so it looked 3-d....but the damn thing was over $500......a little rich for my $800 pc i think....
