I really like the look of this case (looking for something black and silver), but there aren't many reviews albeit they are all positive. I'd prefer not having a door, but I will take it if it helps with silence.

I'm really tempted to get this case but I can't decide. I searched the model numbers here and read complaints about the removable parts.

Are there any suggestions for a high quality silver/black case? I'm not afraid to spend the money for a QUALITY case. I'm kinda new to being picky with cases, but I'm done with the "Eh this 50$ case will work for this computer". I'm goin for something I can keep and keep replacing parts in the case instead of getting a new cheap case all the time.

Any suggestions would be great. Furthermore, I planned on getting a 400w Rosewill power supply that should be enough to run my older hardware (need the PCI-E power cable). I don't really have any plans to go back into heavy gaming so it should be enough. Any experience with these? Max I'll need is 400-450w if you have other suggestions.

Thanks.

I think the A12 is a moderately priced Lian Li case I could live with. The Chenbro SR10568 from eWiz.com is nice too and will work out about the same with shipping - it's a heavy case and a bit roomier than the L-L, has more modern conveniences too.

Couldn't find that on eWiz.. Apparently the P180 is on sale at CompUSA. I wonder if that is any good.

The PC-A12 is a pretty nice case. it is the bottom tier of lian-li cases IMO. Parallels with the PC7B++ as far as functionality and useablity. However bottom tier lian-li is still better than 95% of the cases on the market if not more. So this is not in any way a discouraging statement. In all honesty, I love the case for most computer builds, as it is quite light and easy to work with.

If you want a bigger and better Black and Silver case, the PC-767+ is amazing. I personally use it on my home computer.

Still you cant go wrong with the PC-A12, and honestly the PC-767 is kinda big, so unless you massively overload it like I did youll be fine.

Thanks for the input. I think I'll get the A12 afterall, its on sale and seems to fit what I need --- basic 2 hdd setup.

Thanks for the input.
