Does anyon here own a Lian Li chassis?

I'm just window shopping for ideas for my next build, and they are bloody nice looking cases.

Can anyone vouch for their quality?
 
A friend of mine from the OC forum just got a Lian Li case. He's setting it up with watercooling and all the rest of it. He loves it, such a beauty. I'm a huge fan of Lian Li....so expensive but anyway.
 
I have seen them at Frontosa and they are fantastic. I did opt for the CMStacker 830 though, but on hindsight I would've like the drive cages and cable management of the Lian-Li machines.

Lian-Li also have a new lower cost product line called LanCool. Not sure if we'll see these here, but there seems like alot of features of the Lian-Li will be included:

Yeah, I have:

Antec P1000A (older Performance 1 case) which is the server.
Antec P180 - my rig, LOVELY case but a pain in the nads to work with
Antec Sonata 3 - my wife's rig, she loves it to bits.

I like the Sonata 3 Elite (newer version) but the Sonata's are a little small for big GFX cards. I'm actually keeping an eye out for a case that's black, minimal, dust filtered, can fit in big GFX cards. I don't need many HDDs as I have most of my disks in the server.

I wish Antec would make a new P180 style case with easier insides to work with.
 
I have the PC-A71 Full Tower Case

Pros:
1. Sexy (The biggest pro?)
2. Spacious (Even support dual power supplies)
3. Configurable (The are alot things you can take out or buy addons for)
4. Uhm, did I mention sexy?

Cons:
1. Price
2. Not the best lan party case (there are MID version though)
 
I would've loved a Lian-Li. I sold my CMStacker yesterday evening. It's been replaced with a CMStacker830 and I like the removable tray, the easier front bay access, but it just feels so much smaller than the old Stacker and doing proper cable management can be a pain.

If only the Stacker had the same drive trays as on the Lian-Li.

The PC-A71 looks like a pleasure to work with.
 
Just saw a video review on Youtube for the Lian Li PC-7FW very nice, looks like it should fit large graphics cards.

*adds to the possible choices list*

Very good quality. I like both Antec & Lian-Li.

Yep, the Antec cases we have are really well designed and crafted.

I like the newer mini P180, I was considering going mATX for gaming, I never see myself using SLI, it's too costly and not all games take advantage.
 
Another very worthwhile brand to check out is Silverstone, particularly the TJ09.
 
urgh...dunno who sells the Silverstone in this country. The PC-K62 is a very good choice though you won't regret it.
