[HEXUS]

"General purpose" mid-tower chassis, says Lian Li. Bit pricey, though?

Hmmm, it has a very classic flare to it. I like it.

Sounds as user friendly as any Lian Li chassis, but the stumbling point in today's economy might be the price tag. Particularly when the likes of Enermax and NZXT are rolling out impressive-looking chassis for as little at £37 and £40, respectively.

I can't be compared to either. They're going after completely different markets.

Those 2 are budget solutions. The Lian-li is going after the enthusiast (who has some taste) who doesn't need a full-size tower.

Anyone who has had one of these classy Lian-Lis are very specific about their cases... there are only really 2 'mainstream' case builders they'll choose after that - Lian Li and Silverstone.

Don't get me wrong - £100 is a bit too much - £75-85 would be about right - but it's like comparing a Sempron to an i5... you just don't do it. For the record, things such as A7110 are the i7.

I have 3 Lian-li cases and the build quality on all is outstanding I also have an NZXT case and when I first turned it on the LEDs burnt and let off a terrible smell.

Enthusiasts usually have components kicking out quite a bit of heat right? This case doesn't really do much for the cooling side of things. Ventilated PCI slots, woop.

Yeah, and the Pentium Ds needed a mesh case...
