    News - Lian Li announces PC-A70F/71F full-tower chassis

    Almost as big as Corsair's Obsidian 800D. Almost.

    looks like fantastic build quality but a little bland. It would make a fantasitc file share server though!

    Looks nice i must say. I always take issue with the options for fans in lian li cases though. Seems to be pretty limited.

    Re: News - Lian Li announces PC-A70F/71F full-tower chassis

    The thing I don't like with new Lian Li cases is the way they are putting buttons on the top of the case rather than the front, and to a lesser extent air vents. I have cats they like nice warm places, walking across the top my my computers is a favorite hobby of theirs. The last thing I need is power/reset buttons they can step on, not to mention fun cables they can chew and pull.

    Re: News - Lian Li announces PC-A70F/71F full-tower chassis

    Looks like a lovely case!

    I can't help but feel somewhat dirty for wanting it black on the inside, too (especially as I don't like windowed side panels!).

    As ever, I'm very keen to hear (pun intended) how quiet this case is.

    I've gone through a good few premium cases over the years, including several Lian Li cases, Coolermaster, and now a Zalman. Never once bought one because of the fans that came supplied - always expected to replace them.

    Horses for courses - there's obviously a market for that option else it wouldn't exist. I don't have a pet issue but what I use as a cooling solution needs to go somewhere, and that just happens to be above my case. Buttons and ports on top wouldn't be practical for me. Can't think an instance where it ever would have been for me either.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    I'm quite the opposite - most of my tower-based computers live on the floor under a desk, and top-front power buttons and ports make so much sense to me - far easier to get to even than ports and buttons half way up the front of the case (let alone the ones at the bottom or - heaven forbid - low down on the side of the front cover).

    I really like the brushed Aluminium on these too. One of my bosses at work is showing interest in having his next analysis machine custom builkt and water cooled, and I'll certainly be showing him these chassis as option for building into...

    bland? its all about the build quality and features matey the blu LED'S actually put me off this case haha i prefer a simple yet feature packed case. something like teh PC-A77 which i got hehe but i do like this one and would instantly take out those BLUE LED Fans though.

    Lian Li cases are well built!!!
