I have always wanted one of those exotic cases one finds overseas, but could never get here. Now I can find some good quality cases. I wanted your input. The case will replace the existing case.

I have been looking at LIAN-LI cases, the PC-7FNWX and PC-8NWX . they are quite expensive though, but they are good quality. the reviews stated how sleek and well crafted they are. I am looking for cases that are sleek, silent and got air filters. I am not a big gamer, but it should handle relatively high end equipment.

Do you guys have other suggestions or experience with LIAN-LI and is it worth the extra cost?

Not a big gamer but you want a fancy gaming case :wtf:

Don't get.
 
Get a CM Stacker. Full aluminium, black or silver. If I ever need another computer, I'll buy the same case.

I got a LianLi case, black and made of aluminium. About R800, power supply in front and at the bottom of the case. Got a USB 3 port too. http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=289&cl_index=1&sc_index=26&ss_index=69

I did look at that one. It is simple and sleek. Would really like that one. On the spec sheet it says it has only 2 usb 2 ports. where is the usb 3 one? ALso are there dust filters in the front panel, and how quite is the box? also it can take 4 hdd right? what are your experiences with it so far?

I didnt think it was a gamer case? Why do you consider it a gamer case?
 
Case has got the a Usb 3 port in front with one Usb 2. No dust filters in front. Front cover comes off easily. Place for 2 SSD's. Size: W:21cm H:38cm D:50cm. Can hardly hear the fans. Looks sleek and solid.
 
That link aedro linked is also one i would recommend.
Nice design and a good value case. It does lack features but the back to front Fan thing is really good for an H60 etc, in your case.
Never compare Lian Li to other cases, ass 1. the price will always seem ridiculous and 2. lian li's build quality is just superior to anything you can think of.
I would recommend that you really have a good set of requirements of what the case should do as that will determine if the case will last.
 
Antec 900 from Esquire maybe. Solid and you can get parts (not sure if Esquire stocks parts).
 
I have never heard of NZXT. I think that may be overkill for me.

I also looked at the antec 900, little too overkill. I think what aedro linked might be for me!
 
Lian-li pc-A05FN, this one aedro, i have been looking at it. i think this may be the one i am looking for. Just need more real life specs on it. according to the specs i can put in 4 3.5 hdd's right? ALso is it big enouygh to take a high end card when i get on later?
at the moment i have the 8800gt.

aedro, what do you have currently have in the case? edit: can you put in dust filter in front to clean the air coming in?

wish i can see the case in real life.
 
Can pop around at my place if you in CT area. Yes can take a long card, my sons Asus 6870 can fit in it easily. Two HD, bluray drive, Asus Rog mb (matx), can take full Atx, nothing else yet, waiting to put in a SSD, can't afford it now though.

Air Filter, not really, the front bezel two sides blows air out.

Wow that is big card. according to their webside it can take a card up to 28cm. That should be enough right? WHAT IS like having the psu in the front?
 
No issues really with PS in front. Like any other case, its just there and you soon forget about it.
 
hmm, do you think a Zalman CNPS9700 LED CPU Cooler will fit in the case. i would think so if the psu is at the bottom.
