hey guys, for those of you with lian-li cases, are they wise to buy if you will be moving them around a bit, i know aluminum scratches pretty easy. wondering if they markup or if they are decent, do models matter? thanks

All cases scratch. The anodizing helps a bit. Id say the lian Li PC60 series that I have are more resisitant to scratches than say a normal painted steel case.

they get more fingerprints, but when you have a high end case like lian-li, you tend to not do stuff that could result in scratching...so technically they are scratched less (logic, lol)

I have 2 of the black aluminum ones. I think PC-7 although one of them has a fan controller and exhaust on the top as well as a slide out board tray. They don't get scratched much if at all but then again I do take good care of them. Fingerprints are easy to get on them though. They're thin and light so you must handle them with care. Otherwise I love them for their asthetic simplicity.

You pretty much have to try to scratch a Lian Li. It doesn't just happen. Also, fingerprints come off easily with windex.
