CM 201 or Lian Li PC-60?

**FunkyT** · 19-10-2003, 11:50 AM

I'm trying to decide between these 2 cases - what do you think?

**Lord Kordir** · 19-10-2003, 12:00 PM

I'd go for the 201 if you can. It looks great in it's Black Widow colours IMO. Better built than Lian Li too.

I have the PC-60 and I think build quality is great, and is a good, neat case! So if the CM is better quality compared to the Lian Li, like everyone says, it must be excellent!

Get the Lian-Li in Annodised BLACK .... they look great! Although either are gonna be brill quality so it comes down to your own personal taste!

i am a fan of the pc-60 (being a owner) but the cm is a bute of a case so its all down to yourself you carnt go wrong, goin move thread to case and case mod section see if there is anymore comments on these cases

i own both!

so ive got a good knowledge of using both cases.

They both have some great features. Lian Li has a great removable Hard drive rack and some other neat features.

The Cooler master wins on the build quality, but lacks a few of the little nice features that Lian Li have included. But the lack of these features is compensated with the outstanding design and quality of the case.

XTR's Choice: Cooler Master 201 Black Widow

Ditto. I'm gunna agree with the consensus of the CM. I've just bought one and I'm totally in love with it. So much in fact that I've just bought another 2

as I'm gunna build another system out of it and have one put in storage since they aren't going to make them anymore.

Unfortunately some of us are not as lucky as XTR

to be reviewing them and get to keep the samples. We need to have words about that XTR

im not experienced with these particular cases but in general i find the CM cases are better overall, but as unreal said its all down to your own tastes, both companies make excellent cases and its the features you require that should influence the decision.

Another vote for the black widow, I am saving up for one myself, just wish I could fit my vapo in it!

Especially if you want to fit a monster wootercooling rad

They're both great cases. The LianLi is slightly cheaper (wait for aria to put it on one of their specials pages) and is (arguably) better for water cooling due to the removable hard drive rack.

The Coolermasters seem a bit more solid and the doored versions look much nicer than their LianLi equivilents.

Personally I've got the PC65 - wanted the extra hdd space

so roomy, and great features

**petrefax** · 12-11-2003, 10:47 PM

**FunkyT** · 12-11-2003, 10:49 PM

I need a digital camera first!

**blockers** · 13-11-2003, 10:01 AM

I really love my lian-li, havent ever had a CM. but as long as the case you get a aluminium then you are a WINNER!

i liek the four fans i got (21db or something) with my case, and the removable hard drive rack is great

My friend (streetster) is gonna get the 201CM so we wil have have compare CM201 vs PC-60

Will

ps.s i would have got the PC-65 as aria had them one special offer, at the same price as the PC-60 but i was too slow.
