How scrach resistant are Lian Li cases?

I was thinking about getting me a PC60 case from Lian Li but was wondering how durable they are. Is the surface treated in some way to prevent scratches (i.e. is it any "harder" than normal aluminium)? I'm not that keen to spend $150 on a case and have it look like a mess a year from now...

Can anyone who has one tell me about what they think of it?

Thanks

Nickel020, I have two Lian-Li PC70's. They appear to be hard anodized. This anodizing does resist scratches better than 'bare' aluminum. I would hesistate on a recommendation for getting a Lian-Li. I love mine (although the PC70's are much bigger than the 60's). If you going to be lugging it to LAN parties, yes it will take a beating. I have lugged (literally) mine, and it still looks brand new.

Does this mean that it is lug-able ;) or not ? I am also a little confused... :confused:

Haven't scratched my PC70 yet either, was afraid it'd be scatched easily based on alu's reputation but after several lans since I got it still looks like it did when it came out of the box.
