LIAN LI PC-V1200Bplus II Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-V1200Bplus II Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is awesome for style, and ease of use. Black brushed aluminum and chrome, and oversized screws. There is tons of room for anything you can dream of shoving inside a computer. The three fans are enough to cool down the hottest overclocked system, but if you're worried you can still fit 4 hard drive fans without having to bend a single thing. Also, this case came with EVERYTHING you could need to keep the inside clean... zip ties, hooks to stick to the sides of the case.

Cons: This thing is HUGE! I thought "Mid Tower" meant "Smaller than a bus", but I was wrong. This thing comes on 4 wheels, because you'll be pushing it around your office. Another con, getting the aluminum blanks, and the 3.5" false face, out of this took some patience and a set of needle nose pliers. Don't be afraid you'll break anything, it's sturdy, but you'll have to put your back into it too.

Overall Review: I've only built one computer before, but modified, upgraded, and frankensteined hundreds. I've never dealt with so many pre-drilled holes for a mobo in my life. I recommend, before you do ANYTHING, lay down your empty mobo, take a sharp tipped marker, and mark where you'll be adding the 1/4 tapped risers. All in all, it's a great case. I only gave it a 4 because the last machine I built I almost didn't have to think when I installed the mobo, where this one took some boy scout planning.
