LIAN LI PC-60APLUSII W Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: My first Lian Li case, not my last. I've never had such a good time building a computer. This case is worth every cent. All the edges are rolled, some even covered with plastic material. A lot of thought was put into the usability and ergonomics of the case itself. A case with three fans should be a lot noisier too, wonder how long it will remain this quiet and beautiful.

Cons: Front audio connectors do not support auto sensing. Can't seem to get them to work with Vista and my Foxconn board.

Other Thoughts: FYI...Uses a Blue LED for power and a very bright red LED for HDD light. Design accordingly. :-)

Pros: Absolutely beautiful and very sleek. The blue glows this things emits (+ some more of my own) make me drool to no end. It's super extremely light (I went to pick it up from UPS and the guy crouched down preparing to pick up a big package...prepped himself and picked up it...I was snickering the entire time and he says "You knew that was light huh?" I laughed the rest of the day). Beautiful case and will buy Lian Li again.

Cons: My only con is that I read from the manufacturer that this was a completely tooless build...and it's not. Normally I would overlook that and if it wasn't for that fact it would have gotten a 5 from me. Also, things can get tight. Learn how to use Zip ties efficiently for max air flow from cords!

Other Thoughts: Excellent buy.

Pros: This is my first Lian Li case and I love it. It arrived un-damaged and is built very solid. The plastic covers around the edges of the inside of the case are also a nice touch. With a total of 4 fans 2 X 80mm & 2 X 120mm, there is plenty of airflow keeping components cool and stays fairly quiet. With one of those 120mm fans directly in front of hard drive cage. Allowing you to mount your HD vertically or horizontally. An exceptional build all the way around and a great build.

Cons: With the CPU air duct and Patent movable side fan and filter in place, it blocks a bit of the windows view.

Other Thoughts: Lian Li 4 Life

Pros: Very solid build. starts to get a little tight depending on the mb sata placement and the hdd cage.

Cons: Starts to get a little tight depending on the mb sata placement and the hdd cage.

Pros: Both aesthetically and technically pleasing. Most screws are thumbscrews, allowing easy access. Comes with standoff driver (free tool! Yay!) Panel allows good view, and lots of areas to tie off cables. Lots of space to work with, and vertical HDD mount is amazing

Cons: No removable mobo tray, but not a big deal. Side fan can get annoying to add/remove every time an expansion card needs to be messed with, but is still great to have

Other Thoughts: Love this case...first Lian Li, and I know I'll be sticking with them for the foreseeable future.

Pros: Well thought out, I have had a lot of cases previously and wish I started with something this nice. This layout just works for my project.

Cons: Seriously?

Other Thoughts: Newegg Rocks.

Pros: Everything...looks great, very solid. First case I've come across where I wasn't worried about damaging something. I love it!
The front of the case is metal too, so no cheap plastic...Did I say how much I love it yet?

Cons: None, other than I only got to build the system once. :)

Other Thoughts: This case is great for anyone. Very simple, but extremely functional and effective.

Pros: It's a beautiful case, and very well built and solid. Nothing plastic, and the details are amazing. The side fan is adjustable up/down and left/right, the CPU air duct is adjustable, and it even comes with a slick aluminum cover plate for the backside of the PSU. I almost opted for a cheaper case with a plastic door, and am very glad I paid the extra $xx or so for obvious quality.

BTW, for those reviewers who claim the rear fan needed to be reversed, you might want to check the included documentation. These cases are designed to intake air through the top back fan (hence the duct guiding the air towards the CPU), and out the side.

Cons: You need a magnifying glass to read the documentation. But other than that, not a thing.

Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for.

Pros: Excellent quality, lots of external bays, lots of fans and cooling.

Cons: fels cramped inside if you have LARGE vid card. wish it had quick release for hd's and odd's. Not considered in rating but I wish I had gone with full tower for more "open spaces" and not feeling so cramped inside.

Other Thoughts: It's just a style I like, I don't want to have to open a door to get to my cd drives. The case is almost identical to the old "superflower" cases that i have and love.

Pros: If details are important to you, this is a beautiful case. The more you dig into it, the more you will like it. Everything is removable with thumbscrews (PS, mobo, HD, side fan) and the fit/finish is noteworthy. Case includes mounting hardware for motherboard, hard drives, optical drives, etc. Even a socket wrench for the motherboard standoffs. I used black bezels on my removable drives and think they look great against the aluminum case. All four case fans are 3 lead (include an RPM signal) and they mate perfectly with a Thermaltake Hardcano 12SE 4-fan/temperature controller. I also added a Lian Li 3-rocker switch panel for about $12, looks very nice (black rocker switches) and makes it nice for turning an internal light on/off. You will like this case.

Cons: Minor complaints only, I love this case: (1) the perfectly rectangular case is a little hard to pick up and move around. (2) there are two front USB ports but only one USB cable is provided. The other front ports (USB, Firewire, audio) have cables provided with the case and already hooked up to the front with very convenient "ganged" connectors for the mobo (can be untied and used as individual wires if needed, the ganged connector fit my mobo however).

Other Thoughts: Whoever designs this case obviously builds PC's. Just finished a PC buildout (Gigabyte 965DQ6, eVGA 8800GTS, Seasonic 600w, etc.). As you assemble your parts you find yourself nodding, thinking "yes" someone has done this before. Instead of thinking, doesn't anyone who actually uses this product have any say in how it is built? A great product!
