LIAN LI PC-A71F Black Computer Case

Comment:
this is one enormous stunning case-i was upset at 1st since of side panel design-but they match and are secure so every little thing is excellent-- non now that i fell in love with it ! 1 egg much less for side panels--(they fit and look great)----p.s.---i was a mechanical inspector for a big personal computer business for 17 years---please forgive my nitpicking. i currently cut square (with rounded corners)blow hole in top---mesh cover with blue led -140mm fan--seriously cool seeking---going to get 20 inch blue cold cathode light and stick to inside of door-light will show thru side door vents and actually appear great---i really like searching at it--its mine and its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Enormous quantity of space inside. Dont let the pics fool you, this point is a behemoth.The airflow inside it is excellent (using all stock fans aside from a 190cfm delta on the back).Its a Lian-Li, very good design, all aluminum so its very light. No a whole lot of space behind the mobo to run wires.Im not taking off an Egg although because i was still able to do it, but it was tedious.It would support if you single sleeve all your wires though.

Full tower set up so there is plenty of area for your components. Right after I installed every thing there was plenty of space left for breath-capacity. Speaking of which, this case breathes really properly for being beneath the desk; the core and GPU temperatures keep comparatively low with the stock cooling fans. Set up is a breeze, comes with anything you want (almost, see Cons). The PSU housing bar is a good touch. This is the greatest case I have ever applied. Period. Only thing I can knock on this case is that I doesn't come with a 2.five" HDD adapter. So if you plan on installing a 2.5" SSD, program on adding an adapter to your cart. Also, from an aesthetic stand point, I want the back of the case was black as an alternative of silver. (It's under a desk anyways so it doesn't matter, just MO). It's a tad pricey as properly, but you get what you spend for and it's worth every penny. I built this rig for my workplace on their dime. Now when I go household, I cry inside since of my inferior Mid-Tower and how a lot heat it generates in comparison.

Effortless to operate on, lots of area. Tool-Much less. Looks truly good.I hate flashy instances and multicolor ones. I choose all black and simple which this case is and what I like most about it. MOBO tray not removable, Price is a little higher and the case is bigger than I thought I would be but I do not mind, I nevertheless like it.

- The build top quality is superb. It has such a simplistic, appealing look with the brushed aluminum and the front panel door.- The tool-less design and style attributes produced it remarkably easy to install my elements.- A cable rack can be installed on the bottom of the case to organize the cables from the PSU.- The top panel functions 4 USB ports, which is handy because I have a lot of added peripherals and electronics that I plug in frequently.- The intake fans have filters on them to lower dust in the case and on the hardware.- There is lots of space on the inside for best-variety GPU's, big CPU fan or even a entirely internal liquid cooling method.- For safety, the front door has a lock, and the left side panel has a hole for a padlock in the back. - The right side panel was difficult to get rid of and replace without having utilizing some force. It was essential to adjust the grips on the bottom of the panel.- The hard drive can only be installed in the bay facing the left side, which isn't excellent if you're trying to avoid cables from disrupting air flow.- It was a stretch getting some of the front and top rated panel connectors to the motherboard.- It doesn't have the greatest air flow compared to other circumstances. My elements nonetheless run at close to the exact same temps as when they were housed in my mini tower.- Not a lot of space between the right side panel and the motherboard tray, so you can't match most PSU cables behind the tray for cable management. Also, the mobo tray can't be removed.- Access to the fan filters demands the removal of the front panel, which is held in place by seven smaller screws. It can be a chore to clean the filters because of this. I'm not a lot of an enthusiast, and I don't care to show off the internals of my rig (not that they would be very impressive to look at anyway). I just wanted a simple, elegant-seeking case that would have area for upgrades in the future. The Lian Li A71F seemed to be the best match.The motherboard tray has standoff holes for my micro ATX mobo, which is handy. I program to upgrade to a full ATX later this year.I don't have a modular PSU, so I used the cable rack to shop the unused cables. The rest of them run up and are tied to the side of the really hard drive and five.25" bays except for the tough drive SATA cable (explained in the cons) and the eight-pin mobo cable, which was also quick. Like I mentioned, I won't be displaying it off to anyone, so it's fine for optimal case flow until I set up an LCS.In all, in spite of its quirks, I'm very pleased with this case for the look, the ease of installation, and the area for expansion. If you're searching for style in a case, the A71F oozes it.

Got this case about a week ago, got to say that I adore it so far. The case looks incredible, the quality is of course exceptional, even so Lian Li's usually are Adequate room in this case to fit something of your personal wish, also has nice water ports in the back in case you wanted to go with a water cooling setup. The method is quiet, very quiet for having two 140mm fans in the front and two 120mm in the rear. It is large, nonetheless that is why I purchased it, needed space for the internals I'm gonna be placing into it. Also like how Lian Li sends a pamphlet with the case that shows all of the possible parts/expansions you can put in/on/for the case. Remember to get cable extensions or obtain longer cables because you WILL need to have them. This case comes with plenty of room for cable management, even although there is no windows on the case, I still like knowing that all my wires are tucked away adequately.

Huge... Not to massive for me thoughts you but some of my PSU cables practically did not go the distance -- 8 Pin to be specific. case is really with very good air flow... This issue is penty big to hold a 5970 and an oversized PSU. Not as heavy guage as my V series case, no sound dampening, MOBO tray not removable, case is so large make confident you have long cables from PSU. Some of the edges have been a tiny sharp and couple of of the cables from the top rated mont USB񳅢 were a little stretch. I like it... nice, quite, and clean. If you order a SSD dont overlook a two.five" adapter.

This is my very first full-aluminum case in over a decade of creating and it's best in each way. I couldn't have asked for a lot more. The construct top quality is excellent and there's adequate space for even the largest components you can believe of. None. The aluminum is effortless to cut, which makes modding a breeze. Can't wait to throw 2 radiators inside.

This case has a lot of area to place in whatever you want to from e-ATX mobos to water cooling accessories. The all round building of the case appears to be fantastic and the tool-much less design makes every thing that considerably superior. In my opinion it's a great price tag for a fantastic case. If size, good quality and a very good design and style is what your hunting for I think you'll be happy with this case. The complete chassis is unpainted aluminum. This is not a con for everyone I just like the look of matte black inside the the case for my builds, but we fixed this with some function, primer, and paint. Not considerably of a issue but for all who might be going to acquire this the mother tray is not removable devoid of drilling out rivets.

The case is a lot larger than it seems, even if you do measure 1st. Wonderful case I won't have to replace for a long time, content with my selection.Ordered this along with Antec TPQ-850 850W, I shipped using UPS three day for ษ vs FedEx three day for 贅 - order was placed on Thursday and I truly missed the initially delivery try 12ቱብ, amazingly rapid and nothing at all is broken...[Rumor: UPS shipping just about every package is prone to a 6ft drop] UPS rumor as far as I know is false...Also contacted Newegg and UPS about this and all you have to do is file a complaint with Newegg which will then contact the carrier (UPS) and every little thing will be replaced, your broken goods are even picked up upon delivery of the replacement. I have yet to put every thing together yet and I'm sure I'll locate one thing I don't like, but nothing at all so far... A little pricey but well worth a huge boy case you can essentially use with no feeling extremely cramped in!

This case is Tremendous. Cable management is a breeze. tool-significantly less design, exceptionally quiet, and attractive. Easy as hell to work on and in. Will not make me a pie.This case is Significant (if that is a challenge for you) Do it.

Its a quite excellent looking case with a good brushed black finish. Its anti vibration style functions properly. Tooless style made for an ultra straightforward make i seriously liked the thumb screws for the motherboard there had been a handful of situations had been i in fact had to get rid of it to pructodut in a corsair h50 water cooler so that was incredibly useful and less of a discomfort. They took there time in designing this case for a perfected item anything about it is very well thought out a few folks complaned about the filters being tricky to get to, all i had to do was take away a handful of screws take off the face plate and just take away them. Its honestly not that tricky nor was removing the fans. Also this case is incredibly large the particular person that mentioned "dont let the image fool you"was absoultley correct. I get staires from other persons becuase it is so substantial but then once more that is what i wanted if you want a smaller one particular then ther is a midsize version of this exact case available. If you like the style but not the size. I personaly dont have any cons on this product other than i had to put the power provide on major becuase my motherboard had a power connection faceing down wards. I could not plug this essential component so i had to move the powersupply to the top rack also my IOH and ICH warm up quit a bit but its not the case its the motherboard i just need to have to find a very good fan configuration thats all.This case supplies several many possibilities and i would like to suggest this case to all of you

This is an great situation and its quite spacious. The craftsmanship is remarkable. It supports 10 3.5" drives Ɨ if you eliminate the rack had been the second energy provide mounts). It incorporates front dust filters. A second power provide can be added with the PE-03 mounting bracket or plate and a secondary energy supply starter kit, but both of these are not integrated. A side window can be added, but is not included. Doens't include things like secondary power supply starter kit and mounting bracket the PE-03. The secondary energy provide starter kit is hard to discover, so I'm taking off an egg because it ought to have been included with the case like it was with my Cooler Master Stacker. Also the side window is not includes, but that not a huge deal this easy to locate. The PE-03 secondary power provide mounting bracket or plate can be discovered on coolerguys as well as quite a few other areas. Be careful when remove the front facing it can be difficult so make confident you locate the screws on each and every side and on front at the leading with the front door open.

Gorgeous case. I wanted anything clean and simple. Not this crazy organization most situation producers are delivering these days. If I want eight windows and a 3 mile wide fan, I'll do that myself, thanks tho. The case itself is lovely, the front door is extremely smooth, with the laser etched brand and a extremely great touch with the LED lights. The situation is completely black, but the rear panel is silver. A little added paint would have been good. The fan grills are generic, and boring. And when inside, it doesn't get considerably far better. The tool-less design is mediocre. The drive trays leave considerably to be desired. The door panels aren't simple to take off, and don't really fit in place. There are quite a few specifics in this case which leave you thinking... "really?". While, there is a clasp to secure the PSU which is great. With this situation, I was expecting perfection. I fumbled with diverse producers over the years and thought ultimately, I'm acquiring a Lian Li. And from the outside, that's what I got. But when placing all the parts collectively, I didn't feel Lian Li perfected the finish on this situation. I feel like I got a Ferrari with a 1.eight engine.

certainly amazing, and clean poor seeking case the con is that it is NOT created in the USA.. Big negative, as is everything else NOT produced in this once industrialized Great Country.. purchase it.. properly worth the extra.. no nonsense, properly laid out, and this is no two car garage, it's got space for two bus's.So significantly room it practically echos inside when talking to it.. get it!

I have gone through good circumstances before, ie coolmasters and antecs, but nothing combines style/look and great design like this case does. If you have any doubts about how this case looks or how this situation is produced, throw them away b/c this case represents the greatest income can get! Price: if it was 赝, I would acquire two! 1 to replace my WHS case and the 1 I already purchased to replace my desktop! I will probably stick with Lan Li for now on. Till this obtain, I only heard through critiques how stellar these cases are, but right after working in a single and getting it displayed like a piece of art in my NYC studio, I am a lifetime client!

Comment:
Really minimalist. Not for an individual who loves to show off their LEDs to all the individuals who stroll in the area. The brushed black on the metal looks awesome. Installation of the mobo was amazingly easy. Tons of area to run wires throughout the case. Make confident to have a lot of area wherever you plan on putting it. Stands fairly tall and can be tough to fit below a desk. All of my buddies have a variation of Lian Li cases and I in no way understood why till I got this situation.

Straightforward black brushed metal look, not flashy at all. This case is large but quite light for its size. Ample room to operate in it.6 HDD's and four ODD's and there is nevertheless room for four much more HDD's and one additional ODD. Every little thing sits on rubber mounts. PS is simple to mount and locks in with a rapid release metal band. High excellent machining. Can locate any flaws or sharp edges. Modest case to place all the screws in. Got a ton of thumb screws, far more than enough to fill each slot in the case. Fan will fit each molex and three pin connectors, big fans are substantially quieter than my previous situation. The air out the back is always awesome so it seems the inside of the situation is by no means getting warm, even though haven't test every single component for temp however. Front door utilizes spring mounted ball bearing latches, opens easy but stays shut. Wire management for the power provide. Mobo tray is not removable but with it's size its not genuinely an problem. The HDD bays are designed for speedy removal/installation that sit on rubber bushings, so it is almost not possible to mount them conventionally, not a problem but I have two.five" SDD's in conversion trays. The trays have fine thread screw holes and all the thumb screws provided are all course thread, had to acquire plastic trays that thread themselves the 1st time you run the screw in, equivalent to case fans. Only two of the 5.25 bays are rapid release design, the other are traditional. IMO these would be greater for bushing mounts as ODD's vibrate much more. Have to remove 4 screws to get to the fan filters. Practically as well major. With the PS mounted on the bottom the cable are nearly also short to reach the 8 pin power connector or the HDD slots in the best back of the case since PS often mount on prime and they seem to cut the cable that way. The greatest kicker was that the value dropped ๖ a week following I purchased it. Pros definitely out weigh the con, it a tiny rates but effectively worth it for the general style and craftsmanship.Rig:Win 7 Ultimate 64-bitIntel Core i7 950 (Stock speed for now)Zalman CNPS9900NT RT CPU CoolerGigabyte GA-X58A-UD7Sparkle Gold Class 1250w 80+ Gold PSU 12GB ƒGBx6) Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 CAS: 7two x MSI Nvidia 460GTX 1 GB Hawk Talon Attack3 x 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 SDD RAID (OS)three x 1TB Samsung 7200rpm 32mb cache RAID (Storage)two x Samsung 22x DVD+R DL Sata ODD2 x Lite-On 24x DVD+R DL Sata ODD

This was my initially Lian LI situation and I was impressed. You can tell it was built effectively and looks amazing. They give you a smaller tackle box of fasteners and the case is all aluminum so it is light for how major it is. Oh and the brushed aluminum looks great! The filter is a bear to get in and out, 7+ screws. There is not a complete in the bottom of the case for the power provide which I would have liked. Not the coolest situation for graphics cards with out modification or upgrades. If you want to add a rad or increase cooling a prime panel for a Computer-A7110B case will fit just fine (took me a tiny though to find that bit of information). I bought a single with three 120mm fan holes. A lot of Lian Li situations have a related skeleton so parts are sometimes interchangeable among models

Nice searching case, effortless to open. Warning! If you are contemplating shopping for Combo �, the "EVGA Classified뭬XቴGB Gaming SuperCombo" that contains this situation, you need to be conscious that the motherboard ("EVGA LGA 1366 Intel X58 4-WAY SLI Classified XL ATX Intel Motherboard (Model: 170-BL-E762-A1)") in the combo does NOT fit in this situation. You'll have to get one more case. :(

Really gorgeous craftsmanship, the simplicity of the outside is striking and the interior is spacious and supremely functional. It's a pleasure to function on and surprisingly light taking into consideration the box it came in is about the size of my apartment. A lot of space for drives, a lot of elbow area to maneuver elements inside, the side-access 3.5" bays are very hassle-free, the leading-rear ones slightly much less so. All the fans are quiet (not PWM but now I'm being greedy) and molex adapters for them are included which is nice. Two significant complaints: 1) The energy switch on my situation doesn't perform. Confusing and irritating to say the least.two) One thing is shorting my motherboard to the case. In order to boot it I had to use paper to fully cover the motherboard tray, even appropriately supported on the standoffs a thing was touching and refusing to boot. Neither are deal-breakers but they're holding it back from a fifth star. Regardless of whether this is a pro or a con is in the eye of the beholder but the empty situation feels unbelievably fragile compared to a steel 1. It's nowhere near as stiff or as subjectively 'solid' as regular circumstances. The moment it's full it begins feeling additional like a personal computer and less like a cardboard box covered in tinfoil.Also 1 of the LED headers is unlike the others for no apparent purpose, I don't recall which but it won't attach to the pins on my motherboard. Also also it's bloody huge. Looks like a prop from 2001 in my living room.

This is ideal designed case I've ever worked with.Almost everything fits together perfectly, the components are sturdy and every little thing moves specifically as it should.-Really large case, precisely what I was searching for in order to home a number of HDD's-Can hold up to ten Internal Challenging Drives, all in quite good locations inside the case.-Uncomplicated access to all components whilst installed and the easiest installation I've ever had on a case. None so far. If you're on the fence, buy this situation, you will not be disappointed. Finest full tower case out there.

Will accommodate any motherboard, PSU, and choice of drives you can possibly envision. Really clean, crisp, unobtrusive styling with out the ugly bling on pretty much just about every other case. If you want a complete tower, the styling is a great enough reason to invest in this case by itself. Specifics: HD noise is particularly nicely muted. Nice choice of components (and cute tiny parts case) included. High-good quality included fans. Aluminum panels are challenging and won't bend or scratch quickly. Parts have reasonably soft edges, so you in all probability won't cut oneself. Convenient cutout in motherboard tray to access CPU cooler pins with no removing motherboard. Cooling is not undesirable, but not as fantastic as you'd count on from a case this large with two 140 mm intake fans. The case could genuinely use additional fans either on the sides or the best. With a single 4870, six challenging drives, 12 GB RAM, and an i7 930, the stock CPU cooler is a bit overtaxed, even immediately after replacing the exhaust fan directly behind the CPU with a 2000 rpm Cooler Master unit. I've got my Cooler Master 212 CPU cooler in the mail...Optical drive noise is really loud; the 5.25" drives screw straight into the frame. Fortunately I don't use this method to watch DVDs. This case is *very* deep, even for a complete tower. Make confident to look at the dimensions prior to ordering.

I had some doubts about obtaining this case, due primarily to it's cost. Immediately after I tool it out of the box I didn't care any longer. Photos do not do this case justice. The black brushed aluminum finish is just beautiful and makes me smile each time I see it. The style of the case is definitely well believed out, with the capability to either have the power supply at the prime or bottom. The HDD cage at the best (where your PSU would normally be) is removable and can be placed at the bottom of the case if you choose.The tooless design operate more or less as intended. The HDD mounting operates nicely, holding them in spot with only slight vibration carrying more than to the HDD cage. The PCI hold downs operate wonderful, gives you a feeling that they are secure without having any be concerned that they'd ever come loose. The lock on the door of the case is a good touch and the small box for the spare parts is also quite appreciated. Cable management is a small on the light side. It's not significantly more than rubber clips to hook the cables into. Much better than nothing at all, but not as nice as other situations I've noticed.The filters on the front intake fans are annoying. They restrict air flow far as well a lot just to lower the amount of dust finding in. If you do make a decision to preserve them, they are hard to clean, requiring you to take off the front of your case (and worrying you'll scratch it the whole time) to get to them.The optical drive tooless system does not hold the drives on each sides, so you'll probably want to put a screw on the other side to preserve it from moving slightly. Although some complain that airflow could be improved with the addition of extra fans on the best or the side, it's total lack of fans on either best or side is why I loved it. The clean aesthetic tends to make something that you put into this case appear classy. With area for any video card on the market place ྯ inches from back to HDD cage) suggests that I'll be keeping this case for a even though.

I have hacked together cases before as well as owning other high end instances but this a single takes the cake.* The clean look is absolutly gorgeous and will go nicely with virtually and decor.*The cable management is superior. Among the cable management choices in the case and the tiny velcro straps that came with my power provide, this setup can\'t be beat. I didnt have to use any zipties to make it cleaner.*The case is quite quiet.*The airflow is excellent. I have an i7-920, 6GB ram and 2 GTX275's in this case and havent had a single issue with heat.*The air program is a positive pressure technique. This signifies that the air pressure in the case is slightly greater than atmospheric pressure outside the case. The implies that air only comes in by way of the designated air inlets, which are covered by a removable screen. This drastically cuts down on the quantity of dust that collects on components inside the technique.*The case has a wonderful range of external ports which are best mounted. The case is extremely massive. This doesnt bother me at all but I could see how it could be a concern for some folks. If you are thinking about buying it, get out a tape measure and essentially appear at the dimensions. They are bigger than they seem when just reading them in the specs. Great case for the income. Would simply purchase another. Quite roomy inside and uncomplicated to mess with your components. Also, the tool-less design is remarkable. I have seen other tool-less systems and this a single beats them hands down. I can't feel of a single Genuine con to this method. Really well thought out, designed and manufactored.A++++
