Don't like the rear fan grill - Blocks too much air / cause noise. Previous LL have been better in that respect.

I like Lian-Li cases and always use them for PC's I build for myself and top-end PC's that I build for others. However, I will not be using any of these because of the lack of external 5.25 and 3.5 drive bays.

Another case without 5.25", that's a shame. I'll admit the cases do tend to look nicer when they dont require front access like that for the 5.25" but I still think it is too early to be getting rid of those bays. Their lifespan is coming to an end sure, but as of right now I still find myself avoiding cases that lack these bays.

Admittedly I could probably just buy myself one of those external DVD/Bluray drives that connect over USB at this point, as it's not like im using my DVD drive on a daily basis, but I still prefer an internal drive.

That aside, I like the look of the black windowless version, and seems the design is pretty good as far as use of space is concerned, not so much a fan of the red windowed style though.

No 140mm fan support at the front or top? Also, a 140mm internal fan that looks awful and pulls warm air DOWN over the drive bays - just how does this air get exhausted by the PSU when the PSU is mounted with it's intake fan down?

£160 and they didn't even paint the interior or rear panel black? You could buy a corsair 600C for much less than that (scan has them for £100), which will fit 14cm fans in the front and a 14cm fan in the rear, as well as a 360mm rad. And it's all black, and it even comes with a fan controller.

That air will have just passed through the front fans, it won't have been heated by the components yet
