Lian-Li PC-S80B

[frank796]

I've been wanting to change of my case for quiet a while. I have had a TT tsunami for over 2years, it always been noisy, even after changing all fans on the case, getting better and quieter heatsinks, etc.

I'm now looking at buying a great case, both asthetic and quiet. One capted my attention more then other, the lian-li pc-s80b. I'm wondering if anyone on these forums has one and if so, could they give me their feedback on it. Is it quiet out of the box? How's the build quality? Etc.

I agree this is an excellent looking case, and the airflow designs look very well planned. However it is overpriced even for lian-li IMO. It is more expensive than most of their server cases and its a mid-tower. Im not sure why it is so expensive, maybe because it is new, but from what I know this case is not selling extremely well yet. As far as people on the forum go, I only can remember one person actually using this case but I forget who it is. If it were comparible in price to a V-1000 or PC-101 I would definitely buy it in a heartbeat though.

The last one even mentions the double wall design made his X1900XTX sound quiet, so if you have the money, I would think it is well worth it.
