    unfortunately upon review. the front panel and back panels of this case look NOTHING like my case, nor does the inside. Could you confirm measurements?

    If you want a different one, then:

    Lian Li Lexus: ES350
    RocketFish: Camry

    IS350 Corolla? I better stop b4 i get owned by the car freaks.

    But parent company of course is flipped.
    no, the analogy is incorrect because of the reason i've already explained. his analogy implies that there is a difference in build quality. which there is not.

    I think that this cases are a copy from original, not maded by Lian-Li, but they have the same build quality, and different Layout.
    Its like Eagletech and Xg, Eagletech copy the designe from Xg and use their same build quality, to put in the market a case which was allready maded by Xg.
    PD sorry for my english, i hope you guys understand.

    there are lian-li serial numbers on it, the fans are lian-li, the sticker all over the box say lian-li, and its tagged by the lian-li manufacturing warehouse. i'd say its made by lian-li.

    IT's a lian li. I own one, and there's no reason to think it's not.

    LL probably sold a set # of them to rocketfish to rebrand, and now that the stock is gone the cases are on clearance.

    Actually, what I was referring to in my analogy wasn't build quality since the Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade are built in the Arlington Plant, but appearance wise.....perhaps I should change the analogy to be Chevy Tahoe compared to GMC Yukon.

    And the "mystique" that Cadilliac's have over, just a "chevy".

    well, considering the only thing they changed was the little badge on the front of the door... i don't see how "appearance wise" it's any different

    Is the side panel the same size? I'm looking to buy this case and want a window.

    If this case is beeing sold for $53, then here is the new rival for every budget case on the market. The only con i found is the PITA wiring.
    @ ZOMGVTEK, i thin you can hide th wires behind the HDD cages, btw nice system

    Only a few stores are selling it for $53. Some are selling it for $75 and others are selling it for $130.

    Unfortunately you cant reverse the HD cages without modding :/

    I'm working on cleaning mine up and mounting the pump &radiator, I'll post more when I'm done.

    Essentially i've got the radiator on the bottom where the HD cages were, the holes beneath them provide ample airflow for the rads w/ fans pulling in. Removed the 3.5 " floppy bay and I'm in the process of mounting the pump there now, so far it looks like it'll turn out pretty compact.

    yeah, I'm thinking I can get my stuff in and have room for a second loop. Maybe a PA 160.1 on the bottom, but an extra pump and res should be no problem.

    Yea, i need to clean up the wires a bit.. This PSU has a few too many of them to just casually hide. I actually prefer a non modular psu for the ease of not losing the cables, and slightly lower resistance, but... thats a whole lot of unused cables, lol.

    Im probably going to clean it up some and make a new sticker from the front that looks more like the real one. I just realized that its all caps, lol.

    I actually manged to get my wires done rather well, but not being able to go behind the tray sucked.

    Oh well.

    Still happy with it and the price of the case.

    The LIAN LI PC-A71B looks really close to it on the outside. The inside has some different options though.
