What goes into your case is more important than the case itself, which is something Lian-Li has not forgotten. That’s why the PC-65B is designed to protect its cargo from turbulance and trauma. It isn't just that this case has 80mm fans on the on top, and in the rear, or the two 80mm fans up front. It is the skill and precision in which they are placed, to make the 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 three 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 with ease, and your masterpiece will be viewable to all to gawk at through its high quality acrylic side window.

Great Choice
- Pros: QUIET! Removable Motherboard tray, very professional, 4 fans.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: I'm very happy with this case. Assembling my computer couldn't have gone better. The removable motherboard tray is such a huge convenience, it'd be great if all cases had one. It made putting my motherboard/cpu/video card all together a breeze. Space is also very good, I manged to fit in my huge eVGA 8800GTS in with no problem. I would recommend this case to anyone who is willing to spend over $100 on a case, and even if you're not. Awesome product.

Great fun case to have
- Pros: I love the thumb srews. You can slide the motherboard in and out of the case. The lower Drive bay in front of the intake fans is very nice for mounting harddrives. Its aluminum. Looks great. Comes with 4 fans.
- Cons: My only issue with it is that the rear outtake fan behind the CPU is a smaller one and doesnt pull the heat and hot air off my Zalman that
well.Absolutelly no other issue with it.
- Other Thoughts: Well even for an Extreme machine with an 8800 GTX, Zalman 9700, 2 Raptor X drives, 4 gig of memory. this case can actually hold all components and with some PCI Slot coolers its perfect. For SLI I would have to upgrade to a full tower.

Good case
- Pros: I've had this case now for 2 years and it's a good case.
1. Looks really nice.
2. Easy to mod.
3. Great side window.
4. All aluminum and everything fits nicely.
- Cons: The one con for me is the fact that this uses all 80mm fans. They just don't push enough air to cool today's video cards. I've had to mount a 120mm fan inside the case by taking out the HD rack. My gtx 260 was just getting too hot in there and suffocating.
- Other Thoughts: Lian Li makes great cases and I've been using them for quite some time now. When I get my next case it will be a Lian Li because they pay attention to detail.
Good, but outdated.
- Pros: Looks great, feels great, 100% aluminum. Nice pull-out mobo tray, hand screws are nice. Looks professional, but simple compared to the other flashy cases out there, but simple and professional is what I like.
- Cons: -You can't put GTX 200 cards in, as the space needed by the cards is about 11 inches, but you only have about 10 inches room. This was a drag, now im stuck with a 8800gt until i buy a new case. :(
- No side window fan(i installed one myself, but I dont recommend it unless you know what youre doing!), ventiliation is poor.
- Other Thoughts: Lian-Li needs to redesign this case to fit new video cards and somehow provide better ventilation.
Sleek, Simple, Functional. Fantastic Case.
- Pros: Firstly, the side window makes this case especially attractive when modded with led lights and fans. The removable motherboard tray is easy to remove and work on and then reinstall back into the case. For only having 4, 80mm fans, this case stays consistently cool. Why pay $300 for a case that won't look as cool as this one?
- Cons: The only con I have would be NewEgg initially sending me the wrong case. They sent the same style case, without the side window. I almost didn't want to be bothered returning it, but the window option was an extra $30. After requesting and receiving an RMA, and a free return shipping label, NewEgg replaced the case and I received the correct one in 8 days. With NewEgg, this was a no hassle fix.
