Neat case, I want one.

It unfolds, small, and you can put full sized parts in it. It's $300 though...

I like it, not too bad price wise either (being Lian-Li).

One downside besides the price, is that there is no 5 1/4 bay for an OD.

Most people would get by just fine with an external USB optical these days. Pretty much the only thing I use my DVD drive for any more is ripping the occasional audio CD.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

I actually saw that as a plus. :D

I would have preferred 140mm fans though.

I'm now thinking of getting this for my next build, if it is still around by then.

Lian-Li has been my case of choice for nearly 20 years now, but they do tend to make some very strange and cutting edge cases. Not all of them end up being good ideas or popular, but at least they push the envelope with their designs.

Was at Microcenter a day ago and saw that very case...I would take it for free but for the money I would buy something different.

I hate cases with side windows instead of a metal side panel that holds 2 120mm, 2 140mm or a big 200mm fan. The metal sided cases that hold fans are more practical for non blower cooler GPU's especially when you have 2 like I do.

I like the Army look of the Corsair C-70...but I have always been a fan of ww2 memorabilia and would have looked awesome in my old house here my computer room was full of ww2 stuff including helmets, rifles, a 155mm projectile with a ton of holes drilled in side turned into a lamp and a whole wall was a wallpaper map that included all the WW2 battles on it. I though it was pretty cool and at the time my p2 300 and dual 8mb vodoo2 cards in SLI and 28.8 modem did well with the WW2 flight sim Warbirds and was fitting.

Excellent case! This is the type of dual chamber design I was hoping for in an ATX case. Might get it for my next build.
