Pros: This is a great case. With it's nice looks and well thought out design easily makes it a great choice for a HTPC. Ventilation is sufficient for Atom style motherboard / CPUs. No sharp edges that I've found.

Cons: After 11 months the PSU died, not to mention it's not a standard style PSU so replacements are hard to find. The low score is based off the PSU dying and all contact info on Lian-Li's website to be broken. My entire entertainment system runs through this HTPC so down time is not an option. Right now I have a ATX PSU just sitting in there with the lid off just to keep it running.

Other Thoughts: Don't get me wrong, I would recommend this Case to anyone. Just don't expect the PSU to last forever.

Pros: - The case looks nice.
- Case fans can be moved around if they interfere with the installed hardware.
- Gives you the option to use both full sized add on cards and low rise cards. However, the compatibility is very limited. Se below

Cons: - Hard to work with, so don't plan on changing hardware often.
- The CD bay is very oddly designed. It does not have a cover and when the optical device is installed, there is a large gab between the case edge and the optical device, making it look ugly and unfinished.
- CAUTION: make sure that your motherboard layout is compatible if you are planning on using the raiser card. Most good motherboards will unfortunately not have the desired layout. I installed an ASRock H55M Pro and its layout is NOT compatible. Where the PCI x2 port is located on this board, a PCI x16 MUST be located on the board you pick, or you will not be able to use anything other than low rise cards.

Other Thoughts: Why they decided to NOT use the standard top PCI-E x16 in the location almost all motherboards has them is just mind boggling. Again, if you need to use the riser card, make sure that your motherboard layout is compatible.
Overall, the interior design has multiple flaws, and a version 2 of this case with these issues solved would be great to see.
Do yourself a favor and buy another case unless you "need" the case for its look (though an optical drive will ruin the look a little).

Pros: * Got it on sale, so the price was good.
* One of the better looking HTPC cases out there.
* Decent airflow
* Comes with a 300W supply, which is more than enough for my htpc needs.
* Room for two 3.5" drives

Cons: * Annoyingly short power cables. 20Pin connector barely makes it to the other side of the case, which makes cable management very annoying.
* Bad placement of installed fans. The fan next to the CPU bumps up against the motherboard's supply. Should be under the from hard drive case.
* Pretty bad usability considering it is a Lian-Li. Have to basically take off the whole cross brace to add a hard drive to the top tray.
* CD tray is terrible. Mine came without the double sided sticker. The button gets stuck if you don't tweak the drive distance just right. I don't know why they didn't just include the nice covers that fold down like they do in the PC-A17 which I have and love.
* There are other bad assembly features which make the case harder to use than necessary

Other Thoughts: I'd look for something else if I were going to do this again.. but sadly there isn't much else out there that looks great and is relatively inexpensive.

Pros: 1. Quiet PSU, i mean it really quiet.
2. Looks good in my living room
3. 2x full size pci express or 2 low profile pci and 2 lowprofile pci express. You can't go wrong here.
4. No vibrations whatsoever.

Cons: This one is on expensive side, but is worth every penny.

Pros: - Looks great (that's why I bought it)
- Nice layout to fit 5.25 drive and two slots for 3.25 drives.

Cons: - There are two ways to fit additional cards into this chassis, one is using the riser and the other is to replace the back panel. Both of them gave me problems. For the first one the riser support hinges interefered with some components on my motherboard. When you buy a motherboard to fit in this chassis, make sure there's nothing around the backpanel area (like small capacitors and all). With the second one I had problems fitting my backpanel cover that came with the motherboard. I had to hand-mod it to fit it.
- The power and HDD LED are not working.
- I don't know why by the MSG connector for motherboard (the light that indicates that the computer is running or suspended) has three pin slot instead of a regular 2 pin one, I could not connect the power indicator on my motherboard.

Other Thoughts: This is a good chassis, but some really stupid design flaws make it annoying to deal with.

Pros: Extremely quiet. I don't even notice that it's on. Fantastic case for HTPC. Blends in nicely to all of the other components.

Cons: It's a tight fit to get everything into this box.

Pros: solid construction (metal, not plastic); lots of room for a low profile case; good power supply;

Cons: still having issues with the optical drive cover that comes with the case; doesn't slide right on lite-on blu-ray drive like the directions think it should

Other Thoughts: I love this case; so far I've built three HTPCs and this is much better than the antec and ultra cases I've used

Pros: beside the 20 pins power to the mobo, there is a separate 4 pins that you can plug in to the 24 pins socket. you don't need the 20 to 24 pins power adapter

Cons: skimpy manual, what manual? it's a 1 pager with some drawings on it.

Other Thoughts: on hindsight, I would get the pc-c37 instead.

Pros: nice, sleek looking, with a E8500 cpu, P5Q-EM, stock hdmi. It plays HD mkv beautifully.

Cons: not for gamer, the stock psu is a TFX 300 watts. I can't find a TFX psu larger than 300 watts. Some MOBO requires 400 watts minimum, like the P5Q-EM. if you like this case, then buy it's sibling, the PC-C37, it will take a bigger standard ATX PSU. However, the PC-C37 only takes low profile graphic cards, which means you can't get the fastest, meanest video cards. :p

not enough juice for my bus power external drive, might be related to the PSU. :(

Other Thoughts: the face plate for the cd-rom is nice, the trick is to offset the drive in the cage, so that it barely touches the eject button on the case. then stick the face plate on the drive. trial and error.

make sure all the cables are connected to the mobo before putting back the hard drive cage on the left and the center rail.

Pros: light, plenty of screws, a separate back plate for low profile card. the stock plate is for full height cards.

Cons: power supply is 20 pins, the mobo is 24 pins (asus p5q-em). now I have to order an adapter or buy a better power supply.
