    However, in some circumstances, its not the most appropriate case. So he has to spend £70 on a water cooling solution.

    Could have spent say £65 on another case and £15 - 20 on an air cooler and saved some bucks

    What did you do with the Lian Li case listed in your system spec?
    Yeah i guess ive learnt my lesson about costings, although i think that for £60, thats a good cooler only £10 above what i budgeted for and it comes with 2 silent PWM fans.

    I guess i havent updated my system spec in a long time! The Lian Li case got given to a family member.
    I think i shall update my system spec now lol

    Yep that bundle with the fans does seem a good deal.

    Your family member got a very nice case!! The current Lian Li cases are mega bucks.

    Well the case went to the person that did pay for my first rig so it wasnt too bad.

    I agree, lian li cases are extremly expensive, but they do look very good and they are well built.
