LIAN LI Black PC-C33B ATX Media Center / HTPC Case

Comment:
Really spacious! I really like the reality that there are no doors for the five.25" slots. The BluRay moniker being displayed does doesn't bother me. That option also leaves me the capability to install a remote display unit which is on it's way hot off the manufacturing press:) This has so a lot ventilation that it is actually cooler then my Silverstone case. I truly like the truth that PSU is flipped over for it's own fresh air provide. It is also substantially quieter case then my Silverstone case. I can barely hear it now verses the reality that my Silverstone sounded like a small jet in my living space. I really like the cages for the challenging drives and BuRay players. My tough drives employed to be stacked on leading of each other now there is about a 3ǚ" gap between them to aid keep them cool. I can't over emphasize the amount of room inside! As you can tell I enjoy this case! The 1 factor ALL the HTPC case builders seem to be lacking in is the idea of a dimmer bulb. The blue energy on bulb is vibrant and piercing! The red challenging drive activity bulb isn't as poor. To remedy this annoyance I got my trusty black Sharpie out. I pulled the bulb out and colored that and the optic element on the power on bulb. I only did the optic element on the tough drive activity bulb. They each are at an acceptable but forgettable level though watching a movie in the dark.It comes with a three pin plug for the energy switch but is quickly remedied by moving the wire more than one slot in the plug. The cost tag and shipping here on the Egg for this item is in my opinion on the high side. I adore the concept of the Egg but I have discovered myself value shopping for my products now and not becoming exclusive to The Egg anymore. Wish it was like the old days when I very first identified the Egg but it's not:( Only two points that I can picture would impact someones acquire of this case. Not particular what the longest GPU is but I have a EVGA GTX480 with an inch gap in between the finish of it and the 120mm fan. My MSI 870A-G54 mobo has 90 degree Sata ports on it but don't interfere with the fan but lay in front of it. A deeper board with the very same 90 degree Sata ports would pose a challenge. But if the Sata ports are straight up on a deeper board it wouldn't matter. With that said the fan does appear like it would come out if need be but kinda defeats the purpose of it becoming there in the first location:)

Fit's any video card on the marketplace.Has wonderful airflow and acoustics.Pro craftsmanship. Extremely smooth edges, clean case!Low profile.Lightweight Aluminum.Rack mount handles.Effortless to get rid of/install hardware. two drive bays. I use one bay as a hot swap HDD bay. Diverse HDD's have various varieties of movies, wink. So I can only use 1 optical drive this case has been the best case Ive ever owned.Only issue is I will lose my HDD dock in the bay to install a audigy ZS 5.25 interface. Time will tell which one is much more important to me.Overall this case is very pricey, but it really should final me forever and fit something I ever want to run. Ive put a gtx 470, 5870, two 5770's a 8800gtx inside this case and they all fit with room to spare simply because of the deep design.Some cpu coolers may not fit, I have a tall heatpipe in mine and it fit with 1ǚ to spare.

The case itself is really sturdy, and comes with each component/screw you could possibly will need, and a little case to hold the parts you don't... I'd have given this thing 5 eggs if one of the case fans wasn't already clicking continuously... It's a small gripe, but immediately after only four days of ownership and maybe ten hours of actual use, I'm a small disappointed..

This is a excellent quality case, light weight with lots of room inside. Fans run quiet and case has superior air flow. As opposed to some other HTPC instances this case permits for a full size GeForce GTX 2xx ྪ.5”) video card to fit in perfectly. I love it! Blue LED at the front of the case is too bright.

Quite light weight but particularly sturdy.Inside layout is excellent, uncomplicated to install anything.Fits a 5870.Terrific ventilation.Looks sleek.Handles. 120mm fan arrived DOA. Replacing anyway.Energy button feels a little "cheesy".Pricey case, but effectively built. (Get what you pay for) I have no complaints about this case. I went to this from a HAF932 mainly because I required one thing a small more portable. (home and work) This case is terrific, has every thing I was searching for in a case. High quality, portability and the ability to house larger video cards and ATX mobo. I'm happy.
