That case is attractive but I like putting in side windows, looks like that would be a challenge. First time I've seen a case w/ WC grommets close to the right place for those that hang their rads outside. I'd buy it if I didn't have a stockpile of cases already. Is there such a thing as a "case fetish"?
As usual I found comedy in the Newegg reveiws,

Cons: With thin motherboards (like ASUS), the board is too low and the connectors do no align with the chassis opening. This can be fixed by using #6 lockwashers under the pennuts to rise the motherboard by ~3 mils. Lian-Li should fix this by providing higher pennuts for that kind of situation. This is no big deal because the lockwashers are available at any HW store.

hehe I'm confused about what he means. Did he forget to use the stands?

He's got me lost, 3 mil? I get gargage bags thicker than that. That's the type of review I like to mark as helpful to "egg" him on

So of all the cases you have, which ones are your favorites and why?

Considering the conditions I 1st gave, do you (or anyone else) have any other suggestions?

 

[WoodButcher]

I haven't found one yet that really "is me" Im bastardizing a Kingwin I bought a year or two ago now, I built a nightstand that I use and rebuild all the time and my quad system in a Silverstone TJ08 (this is going in the kingwin)
I guess I really haven't a favorite, I finish one and see ways to better it. I've got a RocketFish case out on the basement waiting for attention "Some Old Turkey" made me buy.

I'm just soooo confused!

oh crap, I just noticed there are 2 new models

and

The V1000Z removes the inverted ATX! Nice -- I've always liked the design of the 1st rev but I hate inverted ATX...

Problem is: When are they releasing this?

The PC-V1010 is awesome too

Damn I may have to wait till these 2 are out.

(lol love the engrish on their site )

That 1010 looks pretty nice for an air cooling set-up. The inverted motherboard was actualy good for water cooling because you could keep your runs very short.
