Lian-Li cases are simple and elegant IMO.
Overpriced? I find the PC7 at $80 or PC60 at $100 to be one of the best cases under $100; PC7 offers fantastic value.

This ugly thing was obviously designed to hit a certain price point. Marketing driving Engineering..not good!

Seems like they are putting out new variants of the PC-60 for the sole reason of generating more reviews.

I agree that they made it butt ugly, however, you have obviously never had a hot system in a Lian Li case. This is all I use and it makes a huge difference. Try sticking 4 7200RPM drives and 2 xeon CPU's in a tin box, it doesn't work! The best part about them are the two cooling fans in front of the hard drives!

So, would I buy this case...no...too damn ugly...would I buy anything but a Lian Li (well, until something else better comes along), no!

I do think lian-li and coolermaster's designs are simple yet elegent. However, for the price that they charge, it's ridicules. When it comes down to it, it's basically a piece of alluminum. They can't even include a quality ps. Yet it's still popular because of high demand. Basic micro-economics. If people would just stop paying ridiculous prices for these lian-li, CM and their brand name, then prices will fall down to a reasonable scale. For $65 + $10 shipping, this case cannot even compare to chieftech, antec, etc. If you're going to go the Lian-Li and CM route, be prepare to paid premium for their quality cases. If you're going cheap with their cases, all you're getting are junks.

i wonder if you could buy a new front panel some how...

the insides look normal

who's idea at lian li was to make this? it's like "hey, let's make an ugly case instead of a good one, to saturate the lower end market"

hrm. they could've just made it a simple front bezel like the rest of the one's they have, and this case could be an easy hit at that price :!

Yes most of the front panels look interchangable and talking to a company that sells replacement front's said that the pc-7 and pc-60 are. Some are just more expensive than others because of the rounded edges.

You know, I wish they would make those drive cages with more clearence inbetween the drives, most are like 1 or 2mm.

Those 10K Hds need airflow!

You guys crack me up. I'll take a well-designed case with "ugly" front panel over a beautiful case which will cut my fingers, give me hernia, and melt my CPU - ANY DAY
