Aluminum, lightweight, great hunting, simple to work with, front panel snaps on and off, big but not as well large. It has cutout for motherboard so the heatsink and CPU can be removed devoid of taking out the motherboard. The very best case I have owned. Side panel a bit tight to put back on. Edges are not sharp but not smooth either. With a DVD drive you must take the other panel off and place screws on the other side. I have worked with both inexpensive and expensive situations. Every single has its value and point. This case is the best I have ever owned. It is so pretty I want to keep it forever! |

This case gets an A+ for create excellent; I am really pleased. Very lightweight chassis for its size - I had some fun making my friends think it was actual heavy, just to see the expression on their face when they would pick it up XD. I bought this case to replace my Cooler Master Stacker case.....(that issue was a tank, and almost certainly just as heavy also).Tooless design and style almost certainly has to be the ideal I have ever utilised with the exception of the drive bays........they most likely could have done a much better job there, but the Video and sound cards are good and snug. Not that large of a con, perhaps its that Im use to possessing to grit my teeth when pulling off the face plate on other instances, but the face plate on this infant comes off actual effortless. This case does not have a removable motherboard tray.....or at least mine was riveted in spot along the bottom – the leading of the tray had screws so I got my hopes up, but was saddened to see the bottom was attached this way.Stock fans could have been much better, but with the video cards I have I can't seriously contact this a con. No side-viewing panel to show off your hardware. I’m actually hoping LIAN-LI will manufacture a door for this case that has a built in window. I’d hate to have to modify such a gorgeous case.Over-sized ATX motherboard tray is nice, but you will have to be a little more inventive when you’re hiding your cables.

This was my initial time developing a laptop, and even I can inform that this tower has entirely spoiled me. Each and every step of the installation procedure was a breeze:* Both side panels come off, as well as the front panel, for full access to your elements.* five.25" drives slide in and snap in spot with out any need for tools or screw.* Challenging drives slide into the HDD cage and lock in location without having any hassle whatsoever.* Locking the power provide in location was a cinch.* Adding cards to PCI slots is as straightforward as flipping a little lever.* Has wonderful airflow and is very light.* The case is fairly quiet.* The graphical directions are clear.* Integrated a wonderful little box for spare parts.* The case is beautiful. I have to admit that the buzzer incorporated with this case is 1 of the additional obnoxious ones I've ever heard, but this is a petty criticism and can be very easily remedied. I also regarded the Computer-60FN, which is a smaller case, but chose this one for the elevated air intake. This factor is enormous! I checked the dimensions before buying and even measured out the space it would take up, but nothing ready me for how major it would look in individual. This isn't a issue, though. I appreciate the case, it will accommodate any expansions and upgrades I could possibly want to make. If I don't finish up maintaining it for life, I'll surely get my next a single from Lian Li, as nicely.Absolutely worth every single penny. |

Wonderful excellent! Every thing fits perfectly, not also tight, just proper. It's not the finest case for cable management but I can't knock an egg off considering that the make quality is so superior. Quite stylish. The LED fans give it a nice touch with no going overboard.The tiny tackle box for all the further components is good also and there's lots of them. |

This is my 1st full tower case. Although I have always bought what I thought have been roomy midtowers, this thing is like moving into a mansion! Strong. Roomy. Wonderful airflow and relatively quiet thinking of it has four big fans. Wide adequate to resist tipping more than. Many internal drive bays all with rubber post cushions. Well created all round. Buttons crisp. Has all the accessories, screws, and so forth including a mobo speaker. Plenty of room for a long video card. Top panel door fits well. LED fans are not also bright. Extremely satisfied The rectangle cutout that accepts the motherboard rear panel was not perfectly square so I had to crimp the reduce left plate edge with pliers to get it to fit.The DVD drive bays have this tool-much less lever that locks the units into the bay hole but its only on one particular side. So I had to take the other side panel off and place screws to make them appear flush and square on the front. Side panels can be a little difficult to get aligned just proper for reattachment. PSU sits low in the case. I had to use some ties to preserve the CPU power connector from falling into the CPU fan. No biggie.Not posting my other elements because they don't do this case justice. |

Tons of space. It will hold lots of drives and still give you room to function around insideLarge fans retain every little thing cool without having finding as well loud.Tool-much less style not only comes with sufficient thumb screws to set up drives in every single bay and still have some leftover, but comes with a compartmentalized case to hold them.The front panel removes quickly, revealing two easy to remove filters for the intake fans. Not seriously a big deal, but in spite of becoming "tool-significantly less," the side panel thumb screws were put in so tight at the factory that I required a screwdriver to eliminate some of them.Tool-much less optical drive latch doesn't seem to hold as well effectively. I may finish up screwing it in. I got this case for a small company server. I wanted one thing that would hold every little thing we're starting out with, and have space for expansion. It at present has six hard drives in it, with space for four a lot more, with no getting to obtain any additional drive cages or screws.I also wanted one thing that would permit uncomplicated replacement if anything failed. Possessing the difficult drives mounted sideways indicates I can simply replace or add a drive without possessing to maneuver around PCI cards and RAM. The energy provide latch is also a extremely good touch. It holds the PSU quite firmly (it doesn't wiggle at all).This case is Huge. I'd noticed images, and even watched video reviews exactly where folks had been in the very same frame with the case, but absolutely nothing prepared me for how massive this case is. It makes my Mac Pro look like a mini-tower. |

Definitely tool-less setup. A lot of internal bays for tough drives. Superb placement of motherboard mounting, will allow for straightforward replacement of any portion, including the power supply. Cost?But seriously, you're acquiring a complete tower case created by Lian Li. You're getting what you pay for. I'm utilizing this tower for my residence multi-purpose server. Paired it up with a gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P P45 775 R. With the hardware I have I can place 15 drives in this factor. Technically the max # of drives is ten with constructed in drive bays + five (using 5-in-three 5.25 bay adapter) + three (using a three-in-two 5.25 bay adapter). |

Case has a ton of room, high high quality build. The case was quite sturdy, came with an remarkable assortment of accessories (zip ties, screws, case for screws, bag..) I was very impressed by the good quality, the fan was also a extremely nice fan. I've built about a dozen machines with various instances and I will from right here on out continue to only use Lian situations. I loved the rear storage for the drives, came with great rubber gromits for holding the drive in spot and minimizing the vibrations. Wiring was straightforward to tuck away and the case just looks wonderful. None. I will continue to develop machines with Lian circumstances, highest high quality case I've ever dealt with. |

Uncomplicated set up for 1st build. Looks great. Even the rear view is nice....I was amazed how quiet fans were. Be careful with base it could scratch your operate surface if you attempt to scoot it about. Demands thicker cushsion. Huge.... |

Most something you'd ever want to fit you can place in this case. Wiring was simple and it's fantastic getting four USB topside incase your keyboard or mouse cables don't have adequate space to get behind the situation. Fans are incredibly quiet. HDDs drop proper in and are mounted on anti-vibration rubber washers, and loading drives in took about 3 seconds. They weren't kidding when they stated that it was a tool-less design. None |

1. Looks Considerably far better in true life than on stock photo.two. "Relatively" roomy (see other thoughts)three. Tool-much less4. Silent (front coolers on, back - off) 1. Pricytwo. Not fingerprints proof. 3. Aluminum is soft. You have a danger to bent and harm any aspect of the situation. So frame at least must be produced of steel (or carbon :) ).four. Not best. Some troubles with internal parts. See other thoughts. Could be much more high, coz when you install mobo such as ASUS P7P55e you can't access lower element of mobo (connectors, switches). You will need additional clearance here, at least inch.But the primary issue for me was incorrect placement of the CPU cooler mounting hole on mobo supporting plate. It was simply not possible to mount cooler (corsair H50 in my case, or any other I feel) with out detaching mobo from back plate. Shame! I recognize that I can use a tool and reduce a hole by myself, but for 赨 situation this is a true disgrace.Additional over. Manual says that mobo can be detached from case, but it can't. You can obviously see screws in manual, but in genuine life there are RIVETS. Annoying.My previous case was standing inside table. This situation is too large for internal installation so I desided to place it next to table. I did connect only two front fans and case is practically silent. So noise is completely no issue for me. |

Big situation! Lots of room fo installing elements and cable routing. Sleek all-aluminum minimalistic finish. Sufficient area for all your elements and then some. 10 challenging drives, five dvd burners, and so forth.Did I mention big? Two modest scratches on the case (probably from shipping) but barely noticeable. If you hunting to construct a high-end storage/gaming rig...this is one amazing case. |

Quite lightweight chasis for the size.Effortless installtion of hardware.QuietAmazing qualityTooless design and style operates really nicely.It is affordable for a Lian Li case.Incredibly excellent seeking enclosure. Challenging to hide cables...the back of the case is openNo removeable motherboard tray.Partition in between the 2nd 5.25 bay and the third bay keeps you from installing devices that take up 2 five.25 bays...you can eliminate it though...it is a discomfort to do although.No included see via panel (as with most lian li situations) I previously owned an Antec 900 I and the Antec 1200. Create quality is a night and day distinction. Lian Li knows how to make a situation. There are a handful of minor complications that drive me nuts about the situation. Having so much of the case around the motherboard tray exposed makes hiding cables a challenge. Despite the fact that being able to mount the psu best or bottom aids that issue. The light track for the front panel power led and h.d.d. led was broken off when I got the case, so I get to glue that back on (no doubt it got knocked loose in shipping). It was worth 200 bucks...but the few annoyances knocked off an egg for me. :-( |

Case is incredibly properly built. Obtaining drifted away from Lian Li for a couple of builds and now coming back, I've forgotten how considerably effort they place into their instances. While a bit pricey in common, Lian Li is a wonderful example of "You get what you pay for." This case is large. I necessary a case that could effortlessly residence 1 120.3 and 1 120.two radiator, this situation can meet that and nevertheless house plenty of drives, cooling, etc. And, as often, Newegg.com (and the shipper) delivered it rapidly and undamaged. I haven't found 1. But I'm also preparing on modifying the case to suit my needs. So even if I do run across something, I'd almost certainly just ignore or repair it. This case is almost also huge... I can't rather place my finger on which dimension is throwing me off, but I can't say it's a Con. I ordered this situation being aware of total well how massive it was. At least it will be incredibly straightforward to work with! |

This is the greatest case I have utilized. Beautifully completed exterior. Helpful, effectively thought out interior with no sharp edges. Fit and finish of a Benz. Space for everything, properly thought out style and engineering. Nicely packed, lots of extras. Just the greatest. None I can feel of. The instruction sheet lead me to think the MB tray was removable. I'm guessing it was in an earlier version. The tray on mine was riveted in location. Lian Li must update the sheet. |

Expensive sleek searching. Massive size gives a lot of room for every little thing. Quality construction. Quiet massive fans. The very best element, I've had this for more than a year in a room with cats and dog hair. Just opened it final nite, incredibly tiny trace of dust on the fans otherwise NO DUST on the inside, unbelievable! The air flows beautifully and however does an wonderful job of keeping out the dust! None. Some could come across this situation huge but it is for a purpose, it's a case for a serious pc enthusiast. It's the finest component of my powerful pc, and worth each and every penny, CPUs, ram, motherboards will come and go, but this situation is the ideal piece I personal. |

Incredibly huge case, with lots of space. Quite properly built and effectively designed. Lots of tool-much less mounting choices inside of situation.Tool-less mounts on PSU and PCI cards have incredibly firm holds.This is the very first situation I've owned that I have deemed acquiring additional to swap instances out for current computer systems (and getting rid of the old instances). External thumbscrews require a screwdriver to loosen. Based on the motherboard, might demand a screwdriver to install thumbscrews holding motherboard down. All in all, no massive deal. If you have a highspeed optical drive, the tool-much less mount may well not be firm adequate. The mount is only on 1 side, so you may well want to pop a screw or two in on the other. Each side panels come off simply, so it's not challenging to reach. This case is freaking big. So enormous that if you care about cable management, you almost certainly will will need extension cables to reach all areas of the case and make it look nice.So far I've noticed the need forɌ-pin ATX power extension -- to preserve from having to run the cable over the video card2x Sata power and information extension (maybe more) -- to comfortably reach the upper HDD cage and upper five.25" bays.So far the standard cables have been in a position to reach. They just do not have the extra room to be ziptied out of the way. I'm also using a XION modular PSU so YMMV based on your PSU.* note that the case fan/switch/esata cables have far more than sufficient space to reach. So these guys do make the cables they have control over long sufficient and then some. |

Big, Light weight, and manufactured with care. They have engineered this case to the nth degree and it is a delight. anything further (custom doors, etc) has to be ordered extra, so it is pricey -- but you get what you spend for. Adore it. I've usually bought "cheaper" circumstances, but have wanted a Lian Li for some time. I do now comprehend what I've been missing. |

Lian Li high quality. Tons of space. Room for ten internal three.five" difficult drives with out touching the five optical drive bays. Toolless design is great. Major, roomy, tons of airflow with the four massive case fans it comes with. Ports on top have a good aluminum door that closes to defend them from dust. Power/reset buttons are a bit exposed - it'd be great if those had been also covered by the door that covers the ports. On a case this huge, a handful of added drive indicator LED's on the front panel would be nice. Fans aren't screamers, but they are far from quiet when running at complete speed - but this case isn't about quiet, it's about size. I'm employing this for a residence server. Great case and a steal for this top quality at this price tag. |

Spacious. Good anti-vibration properties. Sliding the HDD's in and out and in was a excellent pleasure, and has significantly reduced noise. The expansion card latches are incredibly useful. The dust filters in the front are particularly effortless to get to. Oh, and it's enormous. Fans are a little louder than I like, and I will be switching them. I'm also not a big fan of any type of lighting. Note, I did not take of any eggs simply because of these individual preferences, and the fans are potent. I was worried about air flow going into the video card area, my VC specs have gone up < five °C, absolutely nothing dramatic. |

Tool-less construction. Thumbscrews are really simple to work with. Lots of space, lots of fans for cooling, and much more drive bays than I'll ever use. Sturdy and straightforward to function in. The power LED plug is 3-pin, though my motherboard required a two-pin connector. It was effortless adequate to poke one of the wires out of the connector with a paper clip and stick it into the unused pin region. Then all was well. (Besides, the complete box lights up like a Christmas tree when you turn it on, so it's not like I wouldn't have been able to tell if it was powered on without the LED!)The instructions claim that the motherboard tray is removable...but it's not. Which is fine. Except that I spent half an hour attempting to figure out how to rip the lousy thing out. ;) Lian-Li often does excellent work. It's an expensive case, but it's worth every penny. |
Appears Excellent, Well Constructed....FREAKING Big.Didnt genuinely know what to anticipate when I ordered it, as this was my First Develop. NONE Not actually a Con, but, be aware, due to the size, may possibly need to have wiring extensions the Fans/Cables to hold this truly neat and tucked away. Component Places have been determined by the length of the Wires/Cables. Luckily there are a number of mounting possibilities ie HDD, DVD Burner.
