    That scratch is nothing. You won't even see it when the rad' is on. I'd say the Lian Li is a good choice.

    The Eclipse isn't so good for watercooling, and being an Akasa fan boy it hurts to say that...

    My second personal favourite is the Siverstone Temjin TJ-07

    It costs even more than the G70 but you can fit a 3 x 120mm rad in the bottom without any work really. If I could afford it I would have one.

    I dont think those pictures do the G70 justice though.

    Was originally planning to upgrade to a stacker myself, but i found the new 830 though looking good was short on bays. Having used the 4in 3 enclosures i don't like putting more than 2 drives in these bays, finding a 3rd starts to impair ventilation. So 2x4in 3= 4 HD = 6 bays + 2x dvd + fan controller + floppy = full.

    Sadly when i was looking last june there were no earlier stackers available & it looked like they were discontinued.

    some1 suggested the lian li g70, who i had previously not thought about, thinking them overpriced & overated. The g70 wasn't readily available at the time but i fell for the Lian-Li V2000+B Though i think the g70 is probably easier to mod 4 a 3x radiator, i think this case rocks. In terms of £ it was comparable to the stacker & thermaltake Tai Chi but in my mind the layout & bays is perfect. 7x51/4" + 12 internal HD bays.

    The rad goes on the inside, and the scratch is on the outside. A Thermochill grill wont even cover that because the holes are bigger than standard 120mm fan holes, and a wire grill wont cover it.

    I added a blowhole to mine & got a scratch, thought i'd go to halfords to match it up etc., Someone on a forum told me to try a black fibre pen = sorted.

    yeah, so enough about solvent abuse....

    Apparently a pen would fix that scratch/chip.

    Yeah i've seen that one before. It looks like a brilliant case, and for only £200 odd it seems great. It's got alot of cool functions and tool-less designing. But again, it's £200 odd and you get watercooling, so i wouldn't be surprised if it was crap build quality... Be very wary, maybe read some reviews on it?

    It's size doesn't bother me, it's the silly pointless extras (toolfree junk, bottom drawer, drive door) that put me off.
