    Lian-Li Current Case Woes

    Look to buy a Lian-Li case along with my new pc build...

    I did have my eye on the Lian-Li PC-101, I really like how the hdd are mounted, Would be nice for a similarly mounted but normal form factor, not reversed. Also this case isn't widely available anymore.

    Another which reached the short list is the Lian-Li A10B. This was promising, what i don't get is why they have so many 5 inch bays and only 5 3inch bays.

    I definitely want a lian-Li where the disks are mounted in a similar way to the P-101, also the psu at the bottom. I don't need so many 5 inch bays but do want ample amount of space inside, and i really don't understand why they have so many, 4 is enough for most surely? At the moment the A10B is the front runner but only because i can't source a pc-101 at a decent price (given its getting a bit older now). Budget is around £100-£120.

    kustompc did have the pc-101 on sale for £99 but looks like they no longer stock it. What do you guys suggest?

    In before Moogle!

    Antec 1200; a bit "in your face" but functional. I wanted a Lian Li too but Moogle has persuaded me to use my saved pennies on an Antec 1200.

    The hard drive are all mounted in 5 inch bays? Not after one like that at all. I want fewer 5 inch bays. Though the psu is mounted on the bottom, i really don't like the design.

    Have a coolermaster 201 at the moment hence the upgrade, so i'm really looking for a case without a window too.

    curse lianli for not making cases like the pc-101 anymore.

    Hiper Osiris http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144504 Though you did say no window...

    YoYoTech have te PC-101 in stock both silver and black costs £140 though or Eclipse have it for £114 http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...-PC101BK&af=50 No idea what they are like to deal with though.

    My final offer for you is the NZXT Whisper, 9 hard drive bays side mounted like in the Lian Li, PSU at the bottom, Motherboard tray mounted the right way up, oh and sound proofing all for £95. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149351#
