Last piece of new build: Which Full Tower Case To Buy??? Help!

[Boyo]

Hi and thanks for reading my post. I am in need of some help for the last and also important piece of the puzzle to building my new rig. Which full tower case to buy? I'm looking at 2 high end cases that should last me at least for the next 2-3 builds. That should last me until at least 9-10 years. Money isn't the issue.

I am purchasing either case from Performance-PC's, and both cases are already well moddified to suit my needs.

Lian Li PC-A70A

Cooler Master ATCS 840

Please take the time to give me your input. It really counts to me. Thanks.....

Thanks for the suggestion, aigomorla, but I have finally narrowed down my search to these 2 cases.

The HAF 932 looks like another variant of the 690...

I own the Lian li PC-A70A and like it. Its well built and roomy inside.

I own the Lian li PC-A70A and like it. Its well built and rommy inside.

Thanks for the pics. That Lian Li is really good looking. For $10.00 you could buy the optional optical drive covers to hide the optical drives.


Does anyone have a CM ACTS 840 that they would like to comment on? Do you think the Lian Li is a better case than the 840? I like the Lian Li, but I also like the CM 840 because of the ability to run cables behind the Mobo tray and the large fans for cooling.....anyone have any other thoughts......

Here's a link to a Lian li PC-A70A water cooling build by EvilSponge.

I replicated the basics of his build in my own.

He used to have a webpage, but it seems to be down. Luckily, I copied and pasted the contents of his webpage into a word document ages ago and I have uploaded a .pdf of the word document here:

Edit: The photos look better if you download the .pdf rather than view it online.

I think at this point I am just going with the Lian Li. It looks roomy enough to route cables where they won't be seen. Thanks for all the input.
