Pros: Well ventilated. Great features. Lovely looks. Very light. Great Media Center remote is included. Lots of room for SATA HD drives(*).

Cons: Poor documentation, especially the wireless receiver wiring (extra 5 pin wire goes to your mobo's USB connector). The biggest problem for me was that the SATA drive cage back panel prevented you from using a full size GPU (I have the GTX 275). I removed the plate in order to fit my GPU. I just use direct cable connection. Not a huge deal. You can still make a quick hot swap. Just not as quick if you had the back plate.

Overall Review: I could not fit the Noctua cooler in it as it was not high enough for large 120mm coolers(expected for HTPC case). But it was well ventilated enough that the stock Intel cooler performed well enough that I MIGHT keep it. I will probably still replace it with a better cooler (needs 140mm in TOTAL height or less - maybe even 130mm). 92mm is probably the biggest cooler you will fit, maybe a 120mm in blow down and you remove the cross bar support. i7 920 6 GB ( 3 x 2GB sticks) MSI X58 mobo Vista 64 bit EVGA GTX 275 (896MB) DVD-R/RW burner

Pros: Great craftmanship and layout. Attention to detail is evident in every part. Loaded it to the max with 4 hard drives in the HD cage and additional hard drive in the 5.25 bay using 3.5 converter along with a BD-ROM. Using GTS 8800 video card. Cable management is a little tricky but I was able to get a reasonly clean routing with a modular power supply. I was also able to install an extra fan under the cross bar moving air away from the 5.25 bay to cool additional hard drive and BD-ROM. Wireless sensor connects to USB so if have kess than 3 USB ports on the MB you will not be able to use all front inputs. Overall I am very happy with the build and got exactly the setup I was expecting.

Cons: The aluminum finish smudges and scratches easily, so be careful when putting stuff together. Video cards longer than 8 1/2 will not fit into the case because of HD cage. You have about 9 1/2 inches of clearance. Take account where you power connector to video card is. Documentation can be better.

Pros: An absolutely beautiful case with high quality components. Fans are almost inaudible! All I hear from my case is a slight hum from my PSU. I have 4 1TB drives in a RAID5, hot swapping does in fact work as true hot swap. I was also able to fit a 5th drive in below the optical drive where the 3.5" bay is.

Cons: Instructions could have been a bit more descriptive. I fear someone without such know-how would be stuck talking to support.

Overall Review: The front panel IR receiver header is USB. Make sure you get the pin out correct to your motherboard as it does not have a full header with a blanked out pin. Although I was a little concerned, the single molex connector for all 4 drives on the backplane is sufficient.

Pros: Okay, to start the build quality overall is fine, as expected from a Lian Li case. even comes with optional handles if one were to use this in a rackmount frame as a small server case. Good fit and finish. But....(see cons & other)

Cons: ...there are some issues. 1) As posted by another, a lot of the cables are short, and I also had to drape some of the front panel cables over a drivebay. 2) Hard drives need a small bracket/handle installed to fit in hot swap bay. I didn't see this anywhere in the documentation. Unless the PC you're swapping to can fit their bracket/handle, you're out of luck unless you want to remove the handle each and every time you swap. (Or I guess if you're swapping to another Lian Li case with a similar hot swap bay). 3) 5.25 inch drivebay is a tight fit. One of my two optical drives took a tiny bit to fit into the case. A devices slightly wider then standard might not fit at all, it would be too tight.

Overall Review: As posted by someone else, the unit comes with a 140mm fan, and a 80mm fan. If you want the other 80mm fan spot in use, you need to buy your own fan. This is a HTPC case so probably expected for most of them but even for a case that takes a ATX sized board it's kind of small. Height won't quite fit a Zalman 9700 CPU cooler, I had to pull it from my board/CPU and use the Intel stock cooler. Clearance is TIGHT between the edge of the board and the front of the hotswap/hard drive cage. If your SATA (or if using it) IDE port is tilted to fase the front of the case, not pointing up this could be a small issue if your ports are behind the hard drive bay. Anyway, the quirks and small problems were enough for me to ding this two eggs. If they had a way to rate this case a 3.5 out of 5, I'd do it. OH..someone posted the remote doesn't work. It does work, and I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64. It did take 3 or 4 reboots, but 4th reboot it was fine.

Pros: See Below. Just a quick review to inform potential buyers.

Cons: See below.

Overall Review: The built-in receiver is RF, not IR. This isn't listed anywhere I could see on Newegg or Lian-Li's site. So now my $200 Harmony remote can't talk to my $200 case. Gotta love technology. For this price, Lian-Li should at least include a mounting option for those external IR receivers. All that's needed is an internal-to-external USB cable, a bracket with some sticky tap, and mounting holes to place the bracket where the RF window is (you can easily remove the RF receiver). Lian-Li's site specifies 3 fans, but the case only has 2 included, with space for a second 80mm. Newegg has it listed right though.

Pros: You couldn't ask for a classier look. Everything is rock solid and build with style in mind. Layout is easy and roomy to install a beast of a PC. Removable Optical drive bay was a big plus during assembly.

Cons: Some have mentioned the cable are short. Yes, only if your headers are on the bottom of the mobo. Luckily, mine were right there at the cables. The remote was a little tricky to wire up. I didn't like the extra 24pin adapter. Soldered it in to the wire on the power supply. But it does work.

Overall Review: Front to back, the size is a bit on the large side. About 18.25" deep. That wasn't a problem with our Entertainment Center. Glad we decided on this one.

Pros: Roomy, everything fit, looks nice, good price now

Cons: The documentation for the remote is terrible and I couldn't get it to work in Windows 7. I have it plugged into the USB header and everything else set up right so I'm not sure if it's just me or if Windows 7 isn't supported. No place to put a 2.5" SSD

Pros: Good front access; fits ATX motherboard; nice hot swap hard drive bays; toolless design.

Cons: Despite what the box says, does not fit much beyond a 10 inch video card. Less if the power inputs on the video card are on the side. Also, it's a PITA to access any SATA ports that are on the side of the motherboard (like most nowadays). Too tight of a fit.

Overall Review: This case really needs to be about 2 inches deeper. If it were, then it would be a great case. Instead, it's just a little lacking.
