Thats a nice case WD. Lian Li makes quality stuff. I have their HTPC case for my HT. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112228

but dayum, for $100 this case is sweet.

yea no doubt, have been reading up on it since this thread, I have mixed feelings on it. Looks tight, just the whole HAF design with the ridged corners and stuff , and can you get a push pull with a standard rad in the front, hard to tell with the pics.

Don't thnk it can pass as a tech bench as they state as it would be a bitch pouring into as the flask would hit the edges being 7.25" deep

a 200mm rad up top would be epic as well though and like the hotswap drive set up in front

If you grab it hope you do a build log to reaaly show what works and what doesn't with this new design, kida an old desk top case with a lower deck so to speak ....... :thumbsup:

I've been looking at the new HAF for awhile now, but the potential downside I see is that it says it fits mini, micro, and standard ATX mobos. None of mine fit any of those descriptions so I'd have to buy a new board too.

I'm kind of leaning towards this case to build a gamer for sale

Lots of air cooling and water cooling possibilities :thumbsup:

just have to wait for it to go on sale :D the mobo tray flips over to normal ATX and the side panels are interchangeable, so it's very versatile. :thumbsup:

Bought an Azza once, It was a hunk of shit, can't speak to the linked one, but if their quality is the same across the line just say no, not to mention that thing prolly wieghs a ton, this is a decent buget gaming case with good build quality

Plus the one I linked above at 25% off is a steal for a full aluminum chassis :thumbsup:

Although My next grinder build will be in Godzilla if it ever gets released

I've looked real closely at that one a couple times, thinking I want more fannage though cause I may not water the cards. Also, want it big cause it may house my X79 :P
