LIAN LI PC-A75 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Colossal interior - Very easy to work with, and will easily accommodate the largest GPUs

Beautifully constructed - The all aluminum fabrication provides fantastic rigidity and is wonderfully lightweight, making handling such a large case incredibly easy.

Massive airflow - The case comes with three 140mm front fans and a rear 120mm fan, plus intakes on the bottom, the left side, and top. the front and bottom intakes are each filtered. Internal airflow is enhanced by the extremely open interior of the case.

Drive baby, drive - The case will accommodate 12 3.5" drives, or 8 3.5" drives and 3 2.5" drives. Drive installation is wonderfully simple, and even more so if optional Lian Li drive back planes are installed (these are not included with the case). Toolless optical drive installation is also supported.

Rad cooling support - The top air intakes will accommodate a standard 2x120 rad kit with no modifications needed.

Beautiful inside and out - Really, photos / videos of this case don't do it justice... The case interior is all black, and the brushed anodized exterior is just gorgeous, and the case's elegant, minimalist design play perfectly to aluminum's inherent aesthetic strengths. Seriously, this case belongs in a modern art exhibit.

Cons: Not many...

The drive cage is not (easily) removable. If you want to take the case out (possibly necessary if you want to mount a front 3x140 rad cooler) you'll have to drill some pop rivets.

Cable runs may be a bit tight - depending on your motherboard, you may find the center back panel cable conduit getting a little crowded. Not a big deal, but just plan accordingly.

You may need an EATX power cable extension - Because of the case size and the placement of the PS mount at the bottom of the case, it's a bit of a haul to get to the EATX ports if your MB mounts them at the top (which I think is standard placement for them?). My PS cables made it, but just. Again, not a big problem, but be prepared just in case.

Other Thoughts: A beautiful, highly functional case.

One criticism I've seen of this case is that it does not readily support multi-rad cooling installations. I reflecting on this, I can see Lian Li's design philosophy - this case is all about disk drives. With 12 drive bays, there is a strong emphasis placed on convective cooling - hence the use of three 140mm fans placed directly adjacent to the drive bay. A rad cooler mount is available at the top of the case, but clearly Lian Li wanted to balance the availability of both heat transfer methods. The A75 excels at multi-drive installation support, and is designed and built for this.

Finally, let me just say (again) how ridiculously beautiful this case is... It's really the Eams chair or Minotti table of the PC case world.

A fantastic, beautiful work of engineering - highly recommended!

Pros: - Beautiful minimalist case design

- Lightweight

- Spacious interior made installation of components a breeze

- Aluminum faceplate that hides optical drive to ensure the case looks uniform

- Great cooling with options to add two more on top and on the side

Cons: None really. The only unfortunate thing was that the graphics card holder didn't quite work with my HIS IceQ 6970. I attribute that to the unique design of the cooler, not the case.

Other Thoughts: This is my first Lian Li case and I must say that the quality is well worth the money. My old case, a Thermaltake Xaser III, was no longer as asthetically pleasing as it was when I first bought it. I felt the case was a bit too "busy," and heavy. This Lian Li case eliminates all the fluff but retains all the features that really matter. I love this black monolith of awesomeness.

Pros: There are 12 drive bays

4 slots to mount SSDs without a bracket

Plenty of room 1'' for cables behind the motherboard tray

The back fan came with a fan guard on each side

I have had the same Lian Li case for the last 6 years, and the detail that goes into their cases is incredible.

Cons: The thickness of the aluminium has gone way down since I bought my last case.

There is no handle to grab onto to pull the front cover off, as in previous model Lian Li cases.

The USB/Audio enclosure door on the top is pretty chinsy

Pros: I love this case. it is easy to work with, plenty of room for cable management, supports 12 hard drives, cooling is great. Best case I have ever built a system in. This is far better than the Antec 900 Cases I normally use.

Cons: The only negative I can comment on is Lian Li did not ship grills for the 14 cm fans. They supplied grills for the top 12 cm fans.

Other Thoughts: My configuration is: EVGA Z77 FTW MB, 16 GB memory, I5 3750 chip, 2 Syba port multipliers, 8 hard drives all in raid 1, or raid 5 config. EVGA 640 graphics card
