Comment:
Its very Big My 5970 looks smaller inside it ;-)Extra hardware is good its quite light for its size Its price is high for somthing so uncomplicatedThe back motherboard plates lip is killer on the wirerunning I had to cut a portion of it out. For the most component Im pleased with. its good for watercooling if I ever make a decision to go down that road.

This case is Very properly built and Big. It is extremely light considering that it is created out of aluminum. No sharp edges. Fully tool-much less design. Every little thing you need to have in a case and some. There are a few annoyances that drive me nuts that's why I knocked off an egg . Cable management is a bit tricky. The motherboard tray doesn't cover up the whole back like most situations and it isn't black (I certainly knew about this prior to I bought it). There is no hole at the bottom of the psu to suck in air except there are side vents which is just stupid. By trying to make the case light they utilised aluminum screws not steel ones (which also shows you how significantly they care about excellent), aluminum though is a soft metal compared to steel and so the screws strip simply (I have stripped 1 of the screws that attaches the front 140 and have yet to removed it). That is all I can believe of. I am Incredibly picky about factors so a 4Ǜ is really high by my standards. The only case that I could ever give a fiveǛ is a case that is totally developed by me so for most people this case need to be great. I really do love this case and I am incredibly satisfied with it.

- Massive Full Tower with cavernous interior- Mainly tool-less installation (but you'll want to use tools in at least a few locations)- Incredibly little plastic, mostly Aluminum. Extremely light, but sturdy.- Fairly headache totally free installation....simple to function with.- Expansion card retention mechanism is not chintzy garbage, made of steel, and puts genuine tension on the expansion card.- Best or bottom PSU installation, while tool much less installation will only function on bottom.- Overall airflow and cooling characteristics are quite great. - Nice and handy cable routing bracket- General aesthetics and appear is clean/classy- Vibration reduction mechanisms actually operate..extremely quiet case.- Fantastic deal at current price tag- Comes with Steel Casters- Effortless access to the fan filters in the front....appear effortless to clean. - Optical drive retention mechanism is inexpensive plastic and not compatible with Lian-Li own matching bezels if you make a decision to install them. You'll have to pull out the plastic clips and use screws.- Lian-Li fans have often left a bit to be desired. This case is no exception. Despite the fact that the case is nevertheless incredibly quiet. If you wanted even quieter, you'll will need to replace the four case fans with superior high quality fans from Scythe or Noctua. - Not seriously crazy about the front fan lights. Will at some point replace...keeping for now. For the existing price, this is one of the extremely very best situations you can buy on NewEgg right now. It was a present to myself because I operate from property a lot now, and wanted a quieter Pc than the 1 I was working with before. Rather of performing a total rebuild, I transferred the guts of my old program (housed in a windowed Chieftech Dragon and filled with 80mm fans), into this case and the machine is virtually silent now. You cannot hear it in the next room like you could with the old case. You can barely hear it sitting proper next to it, and the lack of noise is great when I have to make calls and want silence. In the end, what I got for the upgrade was the fastest and quietest Pc I could develop for basically just the cost of this case:Construct Profile:Case: Lian-Li Computer-A70F BlackCPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 6400 BE (AC Freezer64 Cooler)MB: ASUS M2N32-SLI DeluxeRAM: 2GB VID: ATI Radeon HD4850 (Passive)SND: Auzentech X-MystiqueHDD: 3 Ƒ 160GB OS, two 1TB Information) for 2160GB TotalOS: WinXP Profes

I chose this case because I was tired of fighting for space in a mid case, there is a lot of room inside for anything you may want to throw in; the quality is great, fit and finish is very first class; MOBO mounting studs had been pre installed, great sized cutout behind the CPU for a cooler mounting plate and, while they are not "tooless" I genuinely like way the HDDs mount. The lever locks on the card slots produced installing a video card a breeze. I knocked off an egg for the following: This case is high-priced and it would have been good if the MOBO tray came out. The locking latches for the optical bays only lock 1 side, I discovered that I had to put a screw in the opposite side to totally secure them, the other 3 bays are screw mount only. Over all this is a spacious and plesent case to work with, cable management is sufficient in particular if you use a modular PSU. Even with all the above I truly like this case!

wonderful. def worth the price, you get what you pay for. the design and size are remarkable. you can bottom mount OR Leading mount it. most men and women dont pay attention to that. also the anti vibration mounting system and all the tooless expansino slots. its pretty a lot awesome. none

High top quality case, everything I expected and significantly much more. Incredibly simple to install components, quite spacious, and it accommodated full length video cards extremely properly. The fans included have the connectors to use with a fan speed controller. My system temps dropped by practically 10deg c from my old case. The only 1 I could feel of is that if you want to install a full height five.25" fan controller or any other device directly under the best drive bay is very hard. They have a assistance brace that stops you. The brace can be removed but it allot of work. I reccomend this case to any individual, its enormous!!! When I was deciding on this case or the Antec Twelvehundred, this case by far is much more superior in my opinion. There is a side panel that allowes for two more fans that will be soon readily available, that I found on Lian-Li's site.

- Lots of room- Almost everything fits- Great drive bays- Outstanding quality. - silly 'quick release' card flippers... (this is ONLY a nit' as they were quite quickly removed/replaced with standard screws - as if the engineers understood that some of us DON"T like 'new/different'. All the parts where there for a quick mod - painless)- some odd extra space along leading of case for a couple of additional drives. I would suggest very same drive/bay config' along leading of case as supplied at front - as these are Exceptional! For my Supermicro construct...- SUPERMICRO MBD-X8DTi-F-O Dual LGA 1366- PNY VCQFX1800-PCIE-PB Quadro FX 1800 - CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000W - 2 x Intel Xeon E5620 Westmere two.4GHz 12MB L3 - two x Patriot Signature 12GB Ɠ x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 ྸGB ram)- several WD raptor drives... ƒ raides, and so on.)- Noctua NH-U12DX 1366 120mm SSO CPU (I don't like noisy machines)

Really significant interiorNormal lian-li qualityCan fit about any motherboard you can believe ofSignificant sufficient for those oversized graphic cards none truly would have liked a greater location to put a radiator.. but that's only an concern if you do watercooling.

Space - There is sufficient space for Actually lengthy video cards. I have a 5830 and that is like throwing a toothpick into a canyon.Tool-much less design - The clamps that secure the PCI cards works and works properly. My video card is held incredibly snug in place. I genuinely liked the tool-less optical drive doo-hicky.There are a ton of racks for challenging drives with a unique latching mechanism to secure them in spot.The leading mounted buttons and front panel accessories was nice given that I have a knee high daughter. She's not figured out that there are buttons up there but. 1 of my usb's on the front panel DOES NOT Work. There are 3 others and I will cope with it. This case is huge. The back panel comes off and so does the front panel. Though this genuinely isn't new to Lian-Li situations, it is worth a mention. I like that I can swap the energy supply up and down if I like. Mine is presently in the bottom position.If I were water cooling this rig that would truly matter to me.

This case is Large. It has plenty of space for you to put every thing that you have to have in it. Oversized graphics cards? no issue, the supplied support is nicely suited to meet your requirements, and maintain issues secure. 140mm fans make it Quite quiet. I adore that the PSU is on the bottom in its own 'chamber'. Develop top quality is high, and I feel it's a truly intelligent case. Plenty of attributes to make it worth the coin. Somehow, I managed to break the small plastic tang that holds onto the return spring for one of the CD doors, and haven't bothered to get it fixed. Minor annoyance though.2nd. This week, one of my fans has began to rattle a bit when I first get started it up, but I haven't but investigated which one or why. Because of the size of this case, and the distance every little thing is placed from your motherboard, you may have to have longer cables for components mounted far away from your mobo. There is also plenty of room to route cables and maintain issues clean so as not to obstruct airflow. The one thing I would have liked to have seen on a case of this size, with the 3 140mm fans on the front is a positive pressure mentality to preserve dust out. It's not a large problem, but in the 6 mo because I began employing it, there is an ever-so slight ring of dust around a couple of locations that air can get in.

Wonderful Caseŋ) Totally enormous. If you are like me and have major hands, you will not have a difficulty working with this monster. If you put it on the optional wheeled stand its taller/longer than three toddlers standing shoulder-to-shoulder.two) Expandable. The Lian Li internet site delivers a big quantity of parts/mods/expansions that are developed to function with the case. The parts are high quality, but occasionally pricey.3) Looks fantastic. The black brushed aluminum gives the case a terrific look4) Minimal ridiculous lighting. If you are like me and don't want your case to appear like Karma, this is a great choice.5) Dual PSU placement is fantastic for those with tricky builds6) The most amazing HDD installation I have ever come across. This monster holds 10 HDDs in a genuinely innovative noiseless program. Every place you can put a HDD also sits next to a 120 or 140mm fan opening, keeping your drive stack cool A few minor factorsɅ) The stock 140mm fans push zero air. Do your self a favor and upgrade them when you acquire the casetwo) Some of the add-ons are pricey. (e.g. The side panel with cuts for fans is โ) Do your self a favor and check out Newegg/the Lian Li web site right after you purchase this thing. The possibilities to modify are great. Thanks to Newegg for receiving it to me within 36 hours of order placement - terrific as per usual!

I've been employing Lian Li because I very first discovered I could buy an aluminum metal case. Lian Li genuinely puts top quality in their styles. The PC-A70F merges functionality perfectly with Superior Simplistic style. Incredibly huge interior space lets you practically walk in to install your equipment. It is bigger than it looks in the photos. But it's not too huge to trigger issues. Since the case is practically completely modular so you can alter some parts out with Lian Li variants of top/side panels, etc. Lots of customization selections!-Texas sized interior space!-Very Lightweight and rigid (All Aluminum)-Mostly tool-less (Mobo tray needs a screwdriver to eliminate, see other thoughts)-10.1 internal 3.five bays. ྪ internal, 1 internal or external adapter)-Fans are included-Customizable with out key effort (see other thoughts and Lian Li internet site for their catalog)-Built to last-It's Lian Li-Other individuals with curvy-flashy plastic circumstances that spent additional than you secretly wish they had Lian Li -Not black on the inside on all parts.I'm not certain if this was for a income saving effort or it's not practical to do but it would have been good. It doesn't detract from the case, even so. -With the energy supply on the bottom, you might need to have to get yourself energy cable extensions in order to effectively manage/hide cables in your develop. You can move the p/s to the top but you loose three HDD bays and it shifts weight to a tall case higher up (I wouldn't although). I was able to energy each device without having extensions, but it doesn't look fairly.-It's aluminum - so be careful! It's not steel! I've identified people today to hate aluminum cases simply because they can't take the very same abuse a steel case can. (dents, etc)I suppose these might not be a major deal to some and not cons to others, but I believe they're worth preparing on in advance. :) The mobo tray in former models applied to be a sliding tray that would effortlessly extract from the case. Now, it is attached with a couple of phillips head screws that call for removal to take the tray out. I personally didn't bother removing the tray when I installed my motherboard. There is Plenty of room to drop in even E-ATX size motherboards. Removing the sliding tray was a compromise of installing the new latching PCI card holders. A quite fair trade IMO. I add/remove PC cards significantly a lot more than I change motherboards and the new device makes it, literally, a snap.Lian Li cases are designed with functionality in mind so there are tons of factory/aftermarket accessories and replacement parts you can purchase to directly replace leading/side panels and the front/top buttons, usb/sata/firewire ports. This case comes with USB2. front panel jacks. When Lian Li presents a USB3. version, you can eliminate 2 screws and replace the one in the case with the updated, factory made technology.

In standard lian-li fasion, this case looks great, clean and is built extremely well. Also following Lian-Li tradition, it is made entirely of aluminum (including the front panel), and is therefore extremely light. Its a very large case, with lots and lots of room, and all the tool-less clamps and mechanisms are great. Everything is held in place extremely well, and the case is perfect for modding. The entire case can be stripped down, with no rivets, all screws or clips. That said, the cpu cutout is smaller than most cases these days, it has no USB 3.0 ports, and has a polished silver aluminum interior, not black. While there is plenty of room to route cables in the back, there are not as many cutouts as I would have liked, and cables are a little harder to hide nicely without a black interior. That said, the case is great.

The case looks extremely sleek, calls for no tools, doesn't have pointless sharp edges to cut oneself on, and is quite light.The case is quite spacious and elegant. I've had no issues so far. It's an understated yet striking piece. None. The full size case isn't an option for every person, but this case has plenty of room to expand for those who require it. The weight reduction from the aluminum is a nice bonus, as are the included case fans and LEDs.

Bought this after after reading excellent reviews.Moved up from an Antec Sonata 2...big improvementEngineering is top notch, all round edges...almost.Would be nice to have tool-less clamps on both sides of DVD trays, not just one; have to use screws for the other side. Fairly loud with Corsair H70 (mainly the stock Corsair fans to blame) so highly recommend a fan controller. System runs supper cool with i7 at 3.7GHz. Tons of space for an extra PSU and other upgrades. One could fit quad SLI in here no problem.Case well worth the money.

Comment:
This case is great I would recommend to anyone that wants a giant case that has tons of room especially for a huge video card, and it is completely tool-Less and the ease of running cables is awesome I made it so there are very few visible cables. Great case not to mention lot's of air flow.

had no troubles at all working with this tower. its very nice to work with and the design is amazing.

Lian-Li cases are as usual a bit more expensive than other brand. But you get what you paid for. You won't be disappointed if you need lots of room for future upgrade and the tool less is so easy to setup all your expansion card or drive. with 4 big fans, it really help to cool down your system. The noise level is low, you won't hear anything during the day with the TV or Music on. You should be able to sleep having it turn on next to your bed....because this is a huge case, I think is better to have wheels below. Beside that, everything else is almost perfect. Every pieces fit accurately.

Having used this case for several months, I can't honestly think how I got by before I owned it. The build quality is absolutely outstanding; Lian Li is to cases as Porsche is to cars. It is very apparent that every facet of the case was thought through. Everything from the easy tool-less designs (Easy AND tool-less? I didn't know that was possible) to the large, yet amazing sleek and sexy, design are well worth every cent this case will put you out. Already I've had several friends purchase Lian Li cases after seeing mine.
