Excellent Case

This case was a dream to build with. You could nearly break down the case into its individual pieces without more than a screwdriver. Between the quick releases, tool-less 5.25" drive bays, hard drive rack, removable motherboard tray, and built in cable management, I had my fastest and most problem free build yet.

Externally, the case is gorgeous. Anyone who has seen a Lian Li case in person knows how good the brushed, anodized aluminum looks. The "front" ports and power/reset buttons are perfectly located. I've even used the built in wheels a few times (sliding the case into place at my desk), which is more than I thought I'd get out of them.

Cost. I'm not docking any stars for this, as I feel I got what I paid for, but this is not a case for the budget gamer.

I'm not a big fan of the 3 LED fans - they're a bit gaudy, but thankfully not too bright. Still, an off-switch for LEDs would have been appreciated (I know I could have clipped the LED leads on the fans themselves, but I'll live with it for now). Also, while we're on the fans, the front two intake fans are filtered, but you have to take the hard drive cage out in order to remove them for cleaning. This might get irritating.

As others have mentioned, the hard drive cage is all or nothing. It would have been nice to have it removable in halves for those w/out a bunch of drives installed.

The front USB 3.0 on this case are pass through cables - they're not meant for a USB 3.0 header. Lian Li makes an adapter for this though - part # UC-01.

The color of this case is hard to capture in photos. I'd say mine is more of a crimson/wine color. The anodized aluminum looks incredible in person, but don't expect this to be Fire Engine Red.

Lastly, the button on the 5.25" needed to be padded with a bit of foam and tape in order to work consistently with the drive behind it.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this case to anyone if their budget can allow it.
