Lian Li just announced two new full tower cases: PC-A75X (http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=629&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=61&g=f) and PC-A76X (http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=630&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=61&g=f).
With the same internals and capabilities to hold the same hardware, these two new HPTX supporting cases differ by their external aesthetics.
The PC-A75X has a removable front panel with visible front ventilation, while the PC-A76X has sports a more monolithic design.
Which one do you like?
P.S. Here is a shot of the inside.

Why hello there. Definitely interested in the A75X as it looks very similar to the X900 in style. X900 is my 'unicorn' case that I fell in love with after they stopped selling them here in the states.
If only there were options for 120mm fans on the front, this would be an immediate buy for me. The top fans don't look offset enough to accommodate a 240mm radiator either.

That PC-A75X looks like the ideal air cooled full tower. Excellent design.
I'm not a big fan of doors so the other one doesn't appeal to me but thats personal taste.

I like the A75X without the front door better.

Spoke to the design engineer, the top can accommodate a 240mm radiator.
And not to break with the herd, but I actually like the A76X better myself. Just love that solid aluminum look. ;)

There is 55mm between the MB tray and the ceiling.

Dang, right on the spot for a 30mm rad and 25mm fan. Hope it's not too tight of a fit.
If it does work out, this could be one of the best deals for a watercooling case. 420mm rad in the front and a 240mm rad up top. With just a bit of cutting, it would be a piece of cake to go 360 on the top with a 420mm in front, providing enough cooling for tri-SLI/x-fire. That's even with keeping both optical bays, something that it's competitors (Switch 810, Shinobi XL, Stryker/Trooper) cannot boast. I think you guys have a winner here.

The insides look great. I'd like to see some sort of PSU cover to hide cables, though.

No door for me either. Putting a big slab of aluminum in the way of the airflow path is just a shame (particularly if one is going to be replacing stock fans with higher rpm versions).

NIce cases, but the wording on the site may need to be reviewed haha
"HDD installation can't be even simple and effective. Simply secure four HDD screws to the HDD, and push into the HDD cage runner, and lock in position."
May want to change that to can't be anymore simple and effective. Just me though.

Check out the PC-V700X. Very similar design cues, and works perfectly with mATX despite being an ATX case.

Because there are still some of us fools that not only like big cases due to the better airflow but also NEED big cases to handle BIG EATX and HTPX boards..
Ya ain't gonna stick a EVGA SR-X board in any mid tower I ever saw! :D
I like the door. :p: Much sleaker and professional looking. :cool:
PEH! Just another pice of metal to get in the way and block airflow..:p:
( and it's 'Sleeker" you old Texan you):rofl:
