What goes into your case is more important than the case itself, and that's something Lian-Li hasn't forgotten. That's why the PC-60B PLUS II is designed to protect its cargo from excess heat with a veritable maelstrom of air. It isn't just that this case has an 80mm fan on the roof and one in the rear, or the 120mm Fan up front and one on the side panel. It is the skill and precision in which they are placed, to make the cooling power of four fans greater than the sum of its parts.
With all of that, you can feel secure filling it's four external 5.25" and two external 3.5" drive bays, and its ample five internal hard drive bays without fear of blocking air flow to your maxed out ATX motherboard, all seven of its PCI expansion slots full. Your system will remain safe and cool in the hottest gaming situation or under the most demanding processing load.

The best case I ever had
- Pros: Very light I don’t even think its 10 lbs. Stays cool. Easy access and removal of components (Power supply and motherboard can be installed conventionally or slid in from the rear). Bright blue and red LED lights. Very quiet fans.
- Cons: The reset button doesn’t stick out far enough. The usb/audio/1394 cover seems a little weak. (I could be wrong; I haven’t managed to break it yet.) Finger prints show up very easily, but can be wiped off easily with a dry cloth or towel. I would suggest getting extra thumb screws, mine only had one extra.
- Other Thoughts: This case is actually aluminum. Almost any part can easily be removed with thumb screws. The face pops off with a simple pull from bottom. My HDD coolers were hard to install, but I did get them in. The description provided by neweegg the exactly what it is (except that its aluminum). This case looks very nice without making people thing your computer was made by aliens. For more reviews there is also a silver version newegg is offering (PC-60APLUSII). I saw it but got this one as soon as it was available. Overclockers will love this case. It vents almost all heat from components and absorbs the rest like a big heat sink. And if you have some crazy big cooling system over your processor the heat duct can be completely removed. This was worth the money.
NICE!
- Pros: I am really loving this case. Working on this thing is truly easy. It comes with a TON of thumbscrews so you can darn near install every component with one. Even came with a small nut driver to install the MoBo standoffs. Worth every penny.
- Cons: The fan on the top of the case is about 1 inch to close to the rear of the case. It makes installing a monster PSU (raidmax volcano 630w) kinda challenging. In the end I used some left over mobo standoffs to slighty extend the PSU mounting plate. Bought me just enough room. Also the fans are not the quietest. Even at lower rpm the 12cm chipset fan is real loud so plan on replacing them if your after a quiet box.
- Other Thoughts: A little bit of Dynamat on some of the surfaces dissipated just over 20db (A-weight). Kinda blew me away when I measured. Yes, I am a sound engineer and yes, I do own a db meter.
Did I mention it looks good too?
