Im goin with the PC-S80. Although its way overpriced even by lian-li standards. Its a 280 dollar mid-tower.

Been really happy with the Lian 2100 since I installed the plus kit to get rid of more of the video card heat. The extra room in the case is nice for working in and the heat isn't trapped in one area. And the case is pretty quiet.

Stupidest fvcking case evar.

That said, the V-1000B+ is the best.

The case in the link is what I have and its very good indeed. The airflow through the case is excellent and the layout is pretty sweet too. The only negative is that due to its sheer size it does mean that some cables on lessor power supplies can be a bit short. Although I had no problems with my enermax liberty.

I'd vote for this one... or the pc-101. Cool and silent.

I Just got this one about a week ago. Just couldn't resist the price.

the only thing that bugs me with that case is the fact that they installed a stealth floppy drive bezel. no one really uses it anymore, so in 2 years that little floppy drive slot will be useless, and I would want it to not be there.

I've used:

Pc-70 (FT with 4x80mm) -- Love the case, hate the 80mm fans....I'd like 120mm instead
V2000 - Nice case, some work required to get everything to work well (need longer cables, turned some fans around for better airflow)
PC-7+ - Mid tower, didn't like the lack of space
PC-201 - Nice case, need longer cables, had to turn around some fans.

Still looking for the perfect LL case, but the V2000 and PC-201 are pretty close. I really like the side fan on the PC-201, helps cool my video card. Also, I found it works better blowing cool air in on the side, and with my tower HS and fan blowing to the back, having the back fan blow out (this is reversed from how they came). Maybe I need to try the G70, that looks nice as well.

Yeah, I agree the floppy bay isn't needed. I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but you can remove it. They make spare blank plates you can buy, or if you use two 5.25 drives your set.

I have the v2100b and love it, although i'm too broke to get the plus kit
