I'm really really really considering this case. I'm a very big fan of cube cases, but MM is a little out of reach for a Danish guy (scandinavia), having it shipped from the states is hell expensive :p:
Now, Mikroplex, the company who had Lian-Li manufacture this case is located in norway, only an hour or so by sea for me. That would make getting this case over a mm case a lot more viable for me :)

I am very pleased at your comment. If we go back and look at your post for the last year. I am pleased at not likeing this case as it proves it is the best cube out there.

Look at all the pics. in this link . the last one is really nice . You say bloated. I say this is the best water cooling case ever. It also has MM beat hands down. Now I like MM cases but there drive bays are ugly. I use to recommend MM cases but this LIAN LI case is fantastic. But its not cheap once you start adding on the extras.

When you say it beats the MM case hands down - I must disagree. To put 2 loops in the LILI you lose all your 5.25 bays. Making the case rather non-functional. You also get no place to mount hard drives unless you purchase a bunch of expansion crap. Really cost goes up to $500+ for a functional unit. MM cases you can fit a Thermochill 1203, 1202 and PA 160 while still having 5 x 5.25 bays and hard drive brackets all starting at a price of $270!!


EXPAND FURTHER FOR LESS -

I just built one that uses 4 -160's. 1 in each drive bay and 2 in the top back mounting position it was sweet. I Also use a custom cut front panel that uses 2 Billet round 120 Fan Grills and only show 2 optic bays and one floppy and one fan controll unit.. With 2 water pressure guages in the front modded panel. using 2 pumps and 6 loops . Which left me with 8 empty drive bays to mount 4 water cooled raptures. Still a lot of room left over. EACH LOOP HAS 100% FLOW CONTROL TO THAT LOOP both on supply and return . Each loop also has its own temperature guage on the return side for that loop . So we have a total of 8 added analog gauges. .

No this is a sweet case make no mistakes about it.

A guy in the water-cooled forum has done a lot of work to one of these.

I love this case but it is a little pricey. Might have to purchase one when i

get tired of my Stacker. The possibilites seem endless.

You can fit 4 x PA 160's in the MM mentioned above as well. Without limiting any of the drive capacity.
If you want to get really Nutty you could even get 2 x PA 120.1s in there too, but really the 1203 is where it's really at.

Throw in the Duality - Use 2 x PA 1203's and a PA 1202 to boot - still have all the drive capacity.
