Enermax or Lian-Li?

Hey guys,

After hours of research, I've narrowed my case selection to two cases. Please help me decide which one!

Door number 1 is the Enermax CS-718B which is a nice server case with a wind tunnel, fan controller, and temperature monitor built in. Retails about $200 but includes a quality 460W Enermax PSU. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811124110

Door number 2 is the Lian-Li PC-60B Plus which is a nice all aluminum mid tower with Lian-Li's new cooling kit. Anand says it has great cooling performance but it's a bit noisy. Newegg has it for about $120 w/o PSU. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811112078

My budget is about $200 for a case and PSU (plus S/H) and I'm planning to do some overclocking and possibly SLI with a DFI 939 board so cooling is very important. But at the same time, noisy computers really bother me. Size and weight matter a little too as I'd prefer a smaller, lighter case though with plenty of room for HD expansion.

What case would you go for?

Thanks!
 
If you decide to go with the Lian-Li...THIS PC-7B Plus is a better choice than the Lian-Li from Newegg.

Probably cost you a little more than 200 duckies with a good power supply but worth it in my humble opinion.
 
i saw pics of the 'windtunnel effect' of the enermax, there appear to be some flaws, but im sure it will work
 
Why the PC-7B Plus? It's only about $10 cheaper on that website and doesn't have a removable mobo tray, has fewer 3.5 drives, and no cooling kit. PC-60 Plus looks way better in my opinion.
 
Well I went with the PC60 Plus because i read that with the DFI Ultra-D I'm using, the wind tunnel won't fit over the HSF.
 
Probably because it has 2 120m/m fans and a 80m/m blow hole (fan not included)...Oh just like the P60 you bought...Did not know they had moved to 2 120's.
